- This Project Grant award of $651,084, made by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), supports research to determine how microbes influence the response of their mosquito host to climate change, with a focus on the impacts on Hawaiian honeycreepers, an endangered bird species. The research aims to: Clarify the landscape-scale population dynamics of the mosquito vector Culex quinquefasciatus and its microbiome across an elevational gradient in Hawaii....
- The National Science Foundation awarded a $500,000 Project Grant to the University of Washington under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) to investigate olfactory learning and neuromodulation in the Aedes aegypti mosquito from June 1, 2023 to May 31, 2026. The research aims to understand how odor learning modifies mosquitoes' biting behaviors through three objectives: testing whether mosquitoes only learn certain odors corresponding to antennal lobe glomeruli tuning;...

The grant was awarded under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to further the program's goals of advancing the biological sciences and strengthening the national scientific enterprise through increasing scientific knowledge and...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (CFDA 47.049 - Mathematical and Physical Sciences) will develop an early-warning system to forecast surges in disease-carrying mosquito populations in the United States. The $300,000 award, effective September 1, 2025 through August 31, 2028, will create modeling tools and ensembling approaches to generate 1- to 4-week ahead forecasts of the relative abundance of Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus mosquitoes. The forecasts will be...
- The Project Grant titled "Impact of Antimalarials on Parasite Selection Through the Mosquito Vector" is funded by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.855). The $192,364 award, which runs from August 2025 to July 2030, supports research at Yale University to investigate the effect of antimalarial drugs taken by humans on the development of malaria parasites within mosquitoes. The...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Directorate for Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) Project Grant of $246,620 awarded to The University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA) will fund the development of novel mathematical models for Wolbachia-based strategies to control mosquito-borne diseases like dengue fever, malaria, chikungunya, and Zika. The multi-stage models will account for the complex transmission dynamics, spatial and temporal heterogeneity, and Wolbachia's biological...
