This $100,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program supports research to develop new theory and predictive models for understanding how environmental pressures shape the evolution of virulence in opportunistic bacterial pathogens. The project aims to: (I) Develop and test predictive models of strain-specific virulence, transmission, and environmental origins for the model pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa; and (II)...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $414,000 Project Grant to support a Postdoctoral Fellowship in Biology from September 1, 2022 to August 31, 2025. The grant was awarded under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074), which aims to advance biological science research and understanding. The Fellowship will fund integrative research investigating the evolutionary rules governing interactions between genomes, environments and phenotypes that influence transmission...
This five-year, $490,536 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will fund research and education activities to understand how genetic and ecological sources of variation affect host-pathogen dynamics. The principal investigator will conduct field and laboratory experiments to determine how intraspecific variation in pathogen life history traits and host susceptibility influence outcomes of pathogen strain competition and long-term...
This $270,000 federal Project Grant award was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to fund a Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Biology for FY 2025. The award supports research and training of the fellow that will contribute to biology in innovative ways, specifically investigating the evolutionary determinants of protein biophysics. The research will determine the relationship between protein thermodynamic stability and effective...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $138,000 supports an NSF Postdoctoral Fellowship in Biology for fiscal year 2022 under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074). The fellowship funds research and training investigating the role of genomic preadaptation and physiological state in modulating bacterial invasion success. Specifically, the fellow will quantify invasion outcomes across diverse Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains isolated from different environments. The fellow will...
This $270,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program supports a postdoctoral research fellowship focused on examining how parasitism impacts ecosystem function. The research will use the Daphnia dentifera invertebrate and its parasites as a model system, conducting laboratory and field experiments to measure how parasite-induced changes to host traits scale up to influence ecosystem processes like primary productivity and nutrient...
This $1,108,345 federal Project Grant award, funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), supports research to characterize the evolutionary transition of host-microbe interactions from commensal symbionts to blood parasites in apicomplexan organisms, which include the parasites that cause malaria. The project, led by the University of Rhode Island, will use advanced microscopy and genomics to compare the cellular invasion machinery between...
This Project Grant award, valued at $1,500,000.00 and awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), will support research to advance the understanding of how parasites influence the evolution of host dispersal strategies. The primary awardee, the Rector & Visitors of the University of Virginia, will conduct experiments and field surveys to test the hypothesis that hosts evolve dispersal behaviors as a strategy to avoid contracting infections....
This $361,227 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC-CH) to investigate how insect immune systems interact with bacterial symbionts. The primary objective is to use transcriptome sequencing and immune assays to test the hypothesis that host immune suppression is a key mechanism driving the distribution of symbiotic microbes across aphid species. A secondary...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences Program (CFDA 47.074) Project Grant of $240,000 supports a 3-year postdoctoral research fellowship to investigate the impact of translation efficiency on immune response variation and evolution. The fellow will employ experimental and mathematical modeling approaches using the red flour beetle system to assess how selective translation of immune-related transcripts influences immune specificity, infection trajectories, and local...
