The grant supports the development and validation of forecasting models and tools to predict surges in disease-carrying mosquito populations (Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus) across the United...
- Federal Project Grant Award Summary The National Science Foundation's Division of Biological Infrastructure (CFDA 47.074, Biological Sciences program) awarded $429,998 to a collaborative research consortium led by the University of Florida, with co-awardees at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and Smith College to develop Moth Monitoring 2.0, an integrated large-scale monitoring framework across the eastern United States. The project, initiated September 15, 2025, with completion...
Federal Grant Award Summary The University of Florida Division of Sponsored Research received a $391,576 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Environmental Biology under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), effective August 1, 2026, through July 31, 2029. This collaborative research initiative develops a comprehensive evolutionary and ecological framework for anopheline mosquitoes by integrating phylogenomic, morphological, and ecological data. The primary deliverable is an open-access digital atlas hosted by the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History that characterizes the evolutionary relationships, dispersal abilities, and environmental limits of anopheline species—information critical for anticipating where mosquito-borne disease threats may emerge rather than responding reactively after outbreaks occur. The project generates scientific knowledge to support public health agencies, mosquito control districts, and military preparedness programs in predicting geographic ranges and pathogen transmission risks posed by anopheline mosquitoes, including invasive species such as the Asian malaria mosquito that has recently spread to nine African countries. Additionally, the award funds human capital development through training of a postdoctoral fellow, graduate students, and undergraduate researchers at the intersection of genomics, biodiversity informatics, and public health entomology, advancing workforce capability in disease vector science and ecological research methodology.
