The National Science Foundation Office of Integrative Activities awarded the University of New Hampshire $5,999,362 on July 15, 2026, under the Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083) to establish a statewide research and workforce development initiative focused on tick ecology, disease transmission, and computational biology education across New Hampshire's public universities. The project, EMBEDDED-NH, will investigate tick biology and microbiomes using genomics, develop predictive models of ecological and evolutionary dynamics across landscapes, and advance computational literacy in biology education through course-based and summer undergraduate research experiences. All activities involve student researchers, with the initiative directly impacting over 200 students. The work addresses New Hampshire's consistently high tick-borne disease incidence by leveraging existing research infrastructure funded by the National Institutes of Health and National Science Foundation while establishing a statewide network of researchers, educators, agency personnel, and private citizens. The University of New Hampshire (a division of the University System of New Hampshire) is the prime recipient, with sub-recipient participation from Keene State College and Plymouth State University. The award period runs through June 30, 2030, with place of performance at Lee, New Hampshire. The project will enhance scientific capacity, strengthen state research infrastructure, and provide a sustainable model for multidisciplinary research and education in biotechnology, big data, and environmental science.
