California State University, East Bay Foundation, Inc. received a $1,037,584 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Division of Environmental Biology under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), effective August 1, 2026 through July 31, 2031. This CAREER award funds basic research investigating pathogen evolutionary genetics through the study of an active hybrid population of amphibian chytrid fungus in the Atlantic Forest region of Southern Brazil. The project will collect disease samples from amphibians infected with hybrid strains to identify key genes underlying disease traits such as virulence and transmission potential, with particular focus on understanding the evolutionary outcomes of hybridization between a globally pandemic pathogen strain and a locally endemic strain. The research will advance scientific understanding of how emerging infectious diseases adapt and evolve when introduced to new habitats and hosts, with direct applications to controlling future disease outbreaks and biotechnological development. In addition to research outcomes, the award supports an educational component that will train students and educators in fungal biology and genomics, contributing to workforce development in STEM fields.Federal Project Grant Award Summary
