Project Grant R00DC021504
- The University of California, San Diego (UCSD) was awarded a $500,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Integrative Organismal Systems under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) federal grant program. Through this three-year award beginning June 1, 2023, UCSD will investigate olfactory learning and neuromodulation in the Aedes aegypti mosquito vector. The research aims to elucidate the role of dopamine-mediated plasticity in early olfactory circuits and how...
- The University of California, Davis was awarded a $3,248,576 Project Grant from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (CFDA 93.855 - Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research) on July 25, 2025. The grant supports research to understand the cross-protective efficacy of the FDA-approved IXCHIQ live attenuated vaccine for chikungunya virus against other alphavirus species, as well as the potential for IXCHIQ transmission by mosquito vectors. The project aims to examine how...
- This Project Grant award was provided by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research federal grant program (CFDA 93.855). The $588,514 grant is funding research at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) to develop new tools and technologies for mosquito control, with a focus on Aedes aegypti, an important disease vector. The key objectives are to evaluate conditional and sex-specific lethal systems that can...
- The University of California, Davis received a $3,161,373 Project Grant from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research federal grant program (CFDA 93.855). The grant, awarded on July 22, 2025, will support research to examine the transmission dynamics and fitness of the reemerging St. Louis encephalitis virus (SLEV) in mosquito vectors and West Nile virus (WNV) naive and immune avian reservoirs. The research aims to...
- The University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) was awarded a $194,375 Project Grant from the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD) under the federal Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders program (CFDA 93.173). The 2-year grant, awarded on May 1, 2025, will support research to define the role of osmolality (solute concentration) in modulating feeding behavior in fruit flies. The project aims to investigate the neural and molecular basis...
- This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research federal grant program (CFDA 93.855), provides $458,849 to the University of Washington to conduct research on the sensory mechanisms mosquitoes use to detect blood. The project aims to characterize the diversity of sensory neurons in the mosquito labrum (feeding appendage) and understand how different neuron classes respond to blood components,...
- The National Science Foundation awarded a $500,000 Project Grant to the University of Washington under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) to investigate olfactory learning and neuromodulation in the Aedes aegypti mosquito from June 1, 2023 to May 31, 2026. The research aims to understand how odor learning modifies mosquitoes' biting behaviors through three objectives: testing whether mosquitoes only learn certain odors corresponding to antennal lobe glomeruli tuning;...
- This $194,318 Project Grant award from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA), under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program (CFDA 10.310), aims to investigate the impact of agricultural intensification on mosquito abundance, viral infection rates, and farmworker exposure to mosquito-borne diseases. The research will use publicly available data to assess agricultural factors influencing mosquito populations across California's...
- This Project Grant from the National Institutes of Health's National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders, under the Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders program (CFDA 93.173), provides $405,048.70 in funding to Rockefeller University. The grant supports research to elucidate the structural determinants of odor specificity in insect olfactory receptors in order to gain fundamental insights into sensory processing of olfactory information in insects....
- This Project Grant award, provided by the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD) under the federal grant program "Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders" (CFDA 93.173), supports research to investigate the structural basis of chemosensation by insect olfactory ionotropic receptors. The $426,938 award to The Johns Hopkins University will fund efforts to address key limitations in harvesting functional chemosensory ionotropic receptor...
The University of California, Davis (UC Davis) was awarded a $238,502 Project Grant from the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD) under the "Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders" federal grant program (CFDA 93.173). The grant supports a 3-year research project to investigate the taste system and biting behaviors of the invasive Asian tiger mosquito (Aedes albopictus), a major disease vector that spreads viruses such as Zika, chikungunya, yellow fever, and dengue. The project aims to provide new insights into how this mosquito species uses taste cues to guide its biting behaviors, which could inform the development of improved mosquito control methods to prevent the spread of vector-borne diseases.
