- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Environmental Biology awarded a $283,164 Project Grant to the University of North Carolina at Greensboro (UNC-G) to develop physiology-based mechanistic models to forecast the responses of sand fly vector species to coarse-scale environmental changes like climate change, as well as fine-scale changes from land use modifications. The project aims to (1) determine the physiological parameters that influence the geographical spread and...
- This $391,336 National Science Foundation project grant funds research on linking host life history, movement ecology, and climate to predict disease outbreaks in tropical amphibian communities. The Division of Environmental Biology award supports a collaborative research effort between May 2022 and November 2023. Key products include field surveys of infection patterns in diverse amphibian populations across three tropical regions, an experimental manipulation of rainfall variability to test...
- 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 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $584,772 to Trustees of Boston University to develop new light-based tools for monitoring infection progression and host immune responses in living fruit flies (Drosophila). The goal is to uncover genetic and environmental factors that influence infection outcomes by tracking microbial dynamics and host immune responses over time in individual animals. The research...
- This federal Project Grant award of $399,360.00 from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program supports research on how parasites influence the migratory behaviors of animals. The project, titled "CO-INFECTION AND ANIMAL MIGRATION: NOVEL PERSPECTIVES FROM CONSIDERING MULTIPLE PARASITES," will use mathematical models and existing data to explore how migratory animals time their movements to manage infections from multiple parasites, similar to how...
- This $2,370,227 five-year Project Grant, awarded by the National Science Foundation's Division of Environmental Biology (CFDA 47.074 - Biological Sciences), is funding research to understand the relationship between temperature variations and disease dynamics, particularly in amphibians. The University of Vermont & State Agricultural College is leading this multidisciplinary project, which combines lab experiments, field data, and modeling to elucidate how host temperature, host behavior,...
- The National Science Foundation awarded a $207,000 Project Grant to support research from August 1, 2021 to July 31, 2024 titled "Mosquito-Borne Disease Networks and Variation in Transmission Traits Across a Gradient of Anthropogenic Impact." 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 $945,365 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research on how habitat disruptions and fragmentation influence the skin microbiomes of amphibians and their ability to resist fungal infections. The primary objectives are to: 1) experimentally test the "adaptive microbiome principle" by exposing amphibians to varying microbial environments and fungal pathogens in controlled lab conditions, and 2)...
- The National Science Foundation awarded The Pennsylvania State University a $116,657 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) to investigate the relationship between deforestation and amphibian microbiomes and the role this plays in disease emergence. The research will examine how habitat fragmentation impacts pathogen exposure rates and the establishment of "microbiome memory" in amphibians, altering disease risk. Field experiments using...
- 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...
