- The National Science Foundation awarded a two-year, $138,000 Project Grant to study parasitism-induced changes in host behavior across scales from the molecular basis to community impacts. The grant falls under the Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), which aims to promote progress in the biological sciences and strengthen the national scientific enterprise through increased knowledge and understanding of major problems. Funding will support research from August 2021 to July...
- This $299,994 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program to Michigan State University (MSU) aims to quantify resource dynamics inside hosts to transform the understanding of host-parasite interactions. The project will use state-of-the-art analytical chemistry techniques to measure the in vivo resource requirements of parasites across their life cycle, the within-host competition between parasites and their hosts, and the...
- This $483,851 award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will support research at the University of Scranton to study factors influencing the prevalence of parasitic infections in birds. The project will collect and analyze parasite specimens from birds and insect vectors in northeastern Pennsylvania to test hypotheses about host traits and ecological interactions that drive parasitism. The research aims to advance understanding of disease...
- This Project Grant award, funded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), supports a postdoctoral research fellowship to investigate how parasites impact the traits of their hosts and scale up to influence ecosystem function. The $270,000 award, effective from July 1, 2025 to June 30, 2028, will enable the fellow to conduct laboratory and field experiments using the Daphnia dentifera-parasite system. The research aims to measure parasite impacts on...
- The National Science Foundation awarded a $138,000 Project Grant to support an integrative investigation of host-parasite coevolution across heterogeneous environments from February 1, 2022 to January 31, 2024. The grant was awarded under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), which aims to promote progress in the biological sciences and strengthen the nation's scientific enterprise through increasing knowledge and understanding of major problems confronting the nation. Specifically, the...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $206,112 to Rockhurst University to study gregarine parasites in grasshoppers across the western United States. The research aims to discover numerous new species of these single-celled parasites, which are related to parasites that cause human and animal diseases like malaria. This is the first attempt to characterize gregarine diversity in this group of ecologically important...
- This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $1,580,787 supported research at Grinnell College from September 1, 2022 through November 30, 2022 under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049). The award funded development of a general modeling framework to better understand transmission of the tapeworm parasite S. solidus across its three host species: loons, copepods, and threespine stickleback fish. Investigators integrated field studies, laboratory experiments, genetic...
- The National Science Foundation awarded a two-year, $138,000 Project Grant to support research titled "Linking Parasite Genomes, Environmental Ques, and Host Phenomes Through Characterization of Behavioral Manipulation." The grant was awarded on August 1, 2021 under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to be conducted in Alafaya, Florida through July 31, 2023.
