This federal Project Grant award of $452,475 from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (CFDA 93.855 Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research) supports a research project at Colorado State University to investigate the adaptive immune responses of bats, which are known reservoirs for zoonotic viruses that cause significant disease in humans. The project aims to determine the effector functions of helper and cytotoxic T cells in bats during infection with influenza A and...
This Project Grant award of $1,447,376.00, provided by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.855), will fund a comprehensive investigation into the dynamics of viruses in wild bat populations. The primary objectives are to: Examine how virus shedding dynamics in bat populations and bat use of anthropogenic structures shape virus exposure risk for humans and domestic animals. Identify local- and...
This National Science Foundation project grant of $739,197 supports collaborative research on environment-host-virome interactions among Egyptian fruit bat populations from August 2022 to July 2025. Funded under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), the award aims to examine how factors like food access, health, and immune responses influence viral burdens in bat colonies experiencing variable human exposure. Researchers will assess relationships between landscape resources,...
This $814,512 National Science Foundation award under the Biological Sciences (47.074) program will fund collaborative research on integrated mechanisms of environment-host-virome interactions in Egyptian fruit bats. The University of California, Davis will lead the project to study how factors like food access, animal health, and immune responses influence viral infection levels in bat populations experiencing variable human exposure. Researchers will use integrative approaches to illuminate...
The University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center was awarded a $454,726 Project Grant by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (CFDA 93.855 - Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research) to investigate cell-intrinsic antiviral immunity mechanisms in bats. The 5-year project aims to study the antiviral properties of the rapidly evolving RNA-binding protein RTP4, which has been shown to inhibit flaviviruses, and to explore the functional diversity of interferon-stimulated genes...
This three-year, $581,244 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Emerging Frontiers will fund research into integrated mechanisms of environment-host-virome interactions in Egyptian fruit bats. The grant was awarded to Texas Tech University on August 1, 2022 under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), which supports basic biological research to strengthen the nation's scientific enterprise and increase knowledge of major problems. Specifically, the grant will...
The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) awarded a $166,162 Project Grant under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research (CFDA 93.855) federal grant program to the University of California, Davis (UC Davis). The grant, awarded on September 15, 2024, will support research to characterize the ecological drivers and longitudinal dynamics of coronavirus cross-species transmission in bat populations. The project aims to provide insights into the origins and emergence of...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (CFDA 93.855 - Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research) provides $464,296.00 to the University of Wisconsin - Madison to study the impact of bat hibernation on metabolism and immunity to Pseudogymnoascus destructans (PD) fungal infection. The key goals are to define how temperature changes during bat hibernation affect the metabolism and immune functions of bat keratinocytes and neutrophils, and...
This $486,332 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports a multi-year research effort at James Madison University (JMU) to characterize the metabolomes of bacteria associated with bats and identify antifungal molecules that could help protect bats against White-Nose Syndrome. The project leverages natural products chemistry, metabolomics, and synthetic microbial communities to understand how bacterial metabolites protect bats...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $309,184 to the Research Foundation of the City University of New York (RFCUNY) - Medgar Evers College to support a 3-year research project aimed at understanding how bats defend against the rabies virus. The project, led by Dr. William Carr, an expert in human innate immunity, will utilize advanced computational biology tools such as explainable artificial intelligence and...
