- This $1.78 million project grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Environmental Biology will fund research at the University of Wisconsin-Madison to develop strategies to mitigate white-nose syndrome (WNS), a lethal fungal disease decimating North American bat populations. Over three years, the university will interrogate how the fungal pathogen Pseudogymnoascus destructans (Pd) initiates infection by adhering to bat skin, using a first-of-its-kind keratinocyte cell line from...
- This Project Grant award, funded by the U.S. Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service under the White-nose Syndrome National Response Implementation program (CFDA 15.684), will support research to understand the progression of white-nose syndrome, a devastating fungal disease affecting bat populations, in Western U.S. regions. The $162,499 award to Northern Arizona University will focus on surveillance of the causative fungus Pseudogymnoascus destructans across four Western states...
- The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service awarded Oregon State University (OSU) a $385,709 Project Grant under the White-nose Syndrome National Response Implementation program (CFDA 15.684) to advance solutions for controlling the fungal pathogen Pseudogymnoascus destructans, which causes white-nose syndrome in North American bat populations. The key products and services to be delivered through this 20-month grant include: Evaluating the lack of non-target effects of the proposed gene-silencing...
- The University of Wyoming, through its Sponsored Programs department, was awarded a $149,500 Project Grant by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service under the White-nose Syndrome National Response Implementation program (CFDA 15.684). The grant will fund a vaccination efficacy trial for endangered Northern long-eared bats in the Bearlodge Mountains of Wyoming. Key activities include capturing bats at water sources and summer roosts, administering oral white-nose syndrome vaccines or placebo...
- This Project Grant award from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service under the White-nose Syndrome National Response Implementation program (CFDA 15.684) provides $325,588.00 to the University of Wisconsin - Madison to conduct research on how the fungus Pseudogymnoascus destructans causes white-nose syndrome in hibernating bats. The research aims to identify the specific fungal proteins or "adhesins" that enable the fungus to bind to and infect bat skin cells. The findings could lead to...
- The Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service Region 5 awarded Northern Arizona University $291,660 under the White-nose Syndrome National Response Implementation program (CFDA 15.684) from October 1, 2022 to September 30, 2024. The project aims to investigate the apparent delayed progression of white-nose syndrome in southwestern bat populations to better understand the invasion dynamics of this disease and determine what factors may be enabling bats in the region to persist...
- This federal Project Grant award from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service under the White-nose Syndrome National Response Implementation program (CFDA 15.684) will provide $325,110 to the University of Montana to conduct research on the impacts of white-nose syndrome on bat populations. The key products and services to be delivered include: Generating whole genome sequences from cave myotis bat specimens to identify genes associated with different disease outcomes and assess the susceptibility of...
- The U.S. Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service awarded a $187,030 Project Grant under the White-nose Syndrome National Response Implementation program (CFDA 15.684) to the University of Illinois. The funding supports a range-wide population genomic assessment of the little brown bat (Myotis lucifugus) to establish baseline population parameters, delineate subpopulations, examine gene flow, and assess the impacts of threats like white-nose syndrome, wind turbine mortality,...
- This federal Project Grant award, funded by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service under the White-nose Syndrome National Response Implementation program (CFDA 15.684), provides $340,771 to Bat Conservation International, Inc. (BCI) to consolidate efforts for colony monitoring and Pseudogymnoascus destructans (Pd) surveillance across the range of Myotis velifer (cave myotis) in five U.S. states and two Mexican states. The key objectives are to 1) build a summer and colony count data pipeline to...
- This $195,000 federal Project Grant award from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service under the White-nose Syndrome National Response Implementation program (CFDA 15.684) will fund a two-year continuous monitoring project to characterize critical habitats and roosting areas for three bat species impacted by white-nose syndrome in the central Great Plains along the Missouri River. The project will acoustically monitor 15 core sites year-round and survey an additional 90 summer sites to document...
