- This $100,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program supports research to develop new theory and predictive models for understanding how environmental pressures shape the evolution of virulence in opportunistic bacterial pathogens. The project aims to: (I) Develop and test predictive models of strain-specific virulence, transmission, and environmental origins for the model pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa; and (II)...
The National Science Foundation Office of Integrative Activities awarded Fayetteville State University $879,047 on August 15, 2026, under the Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083) to conduct research on host-pathogen conflict using Caenorhabditis elegans and environmental Klebsiella pneumoniae, with performance extending through July 31, 2029. The project addresses antimicrobial resistance by examining how environmental bacteria interact with host organisms and how ecological pressures shape pathogen adaptation, virulence, and antimicrobial resistance traits in natural and human-impacted environments. The research will advance understanding of host-microbe interactions, microbial evolution, and the ecological dimensions of resistance emergence. FSU leads the project in collaboration with the University of North Carolina Wilmington as co-investigator. The partnership will develop new experimental and analytical workflows in microbial genomics, host-pathogen biology, and computational analysis at FSU. The award supports hands-on research opportunities for undergraduate students and cross-institutional mentorship to strengthen research capacity and workforce development in the biological sciences, fostering interdisciplinary training spanning microbiology, genomics, organismal biology, and environmental health. Work is performed in East Fayetteville, North Carolina.
