Project Grant 2526926
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) federal grant program provides $200,000.00 to San Diego State University Foundation to develop and use mathematical models and computational methods, including novel Math-Model Informed Neural Networks (MINN), to study the climate-dependent biology of mosquitoes and the transmission of dengue. The project aims to: (A) develop MINN models capturing emerging mathematics in...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award, funded under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075), aims to investigate the role of human behavior in the dynamics of mosquito-borne diseases such as dengue and Zika. The $100,000 grant, awarded to North Carolina State University (NC State), will support a multidisciplinary research project to understand how individual decision-making around mosquito prevention behaviors impacts disease transmission. The...
- This federal Project Grant award, provided by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), supports a collaborative research project on the transmission, control, and risk assessment of chikungunya virus (CHIKV) in South Florida. The $323,038 award, effective September 1, 2024 through August 31, 2027, will integrate mosquito data from Miami-Dade County and CHIKV outbreak data from Brazil into a hybrid machine learning and mathematical modeling...
- This $174,544 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program (CFDA 47.070) supports the University of North Carolina at Charlotte in developing a novel, integrated geospatial framework that applies advanced machine learning techniques to map disease transmission risk from mosquito-borne illnesses. The project will process high-resolution satellite imagery, population data, and other geospatial inputs to generate...
- 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...
- This federal Project Grant award for $329,039, provided by the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) under the Biomedical Research and Research Training program (CFDA 93.859), supports research to determine the genetic relatedness, effective population size, and local adaptation of invasive Aedes aegypti mosquito populations. The award aims to advance understanding of how evolutionary forces shape the dispersal and population dynamics of this mosquito species, which can transmit...
- Farmsense, Inc. received a $275,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships (CFDA 47.084) program. The award supports the development of an automated, digital classification and counting system for mosquitoes to enable more effective vector control. The project aims to create an end-to-end digital platform for mosquito surveillance that can support the work of vector control districts. The platform will leverage real-time insect...
- This Project Grant award, totaling $650,970.00, was provided by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Office of International Science and Engineering (CFDA 47.079) to Michigan State University from August 1, 2025 to July 31, 2028. The purpose of the grant is to explore how genetic, environmental, and microbiome factors impact the ability of Wolbachia bacteria to control Anopheles mosquitoes, a major vector for malaria transmission. The research aims to develop novel, environmentally...
- 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 (NSF) awarded a 5-year, $977,779 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program to the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) to investigate how climate change and land use shifts may impact the synchronization between mosquito vectors and bird hosts, and the implications for West Nile Virus transmission. The research will leverage a combination of modeling, causal inference, citizen science, and field data collection to understand how...
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 produced at multiple spatial scales to align with the operational needs of public health and mosquito control agencies. This project aims to shift the paradigm from reactive to preventive mosquito control, enabling public health authorities to implement control measures more effectively and help prevent disease outbreaks before they start. The project will be carried out by Trustees of Indiana University, a prominent public research institution.
