This $419,863 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF), under the Engineering (CFDA 47.041) program, supports research to develop new methods for identifying hotspots of fecal contamination in terrestrial environments using coprophagous flies. The key objectives are to: (i) determine how fecal indicators are ingested and persist in coprophagous flies under varying environmental conditions; (ii) quantify fecal indicators in wild-caught coprophagous flies from communities...
This $534,000 Project Grant award from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (CFDA 93.855 - Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research) supports research to develop wastewater surveillance systems for monitoring multidrug-resistant bacteria (MDRB). The key objectives are to: Establish standardized wastewater surveillance strategies to inform clinical infection control responses, using long-read metagenomics and novel bioinformatics to rapidly identify significant changes in...
This federal Project Grant award totaling $810,312.00 from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.855) will fund research to investigate environmental reservoirs and transmission dynamics of multi-drug resistant Enterobacterales (MDR ENT) in the Chicago area. The key objectives are to: 1) Profile MDR ENT and mobile antibiotic resistance genes in Greater Chicago waterways to identify environmental...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.855), will support research to model the impact of water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) interventions on reducing transmission of typhoidal Salmonella in the Indo-Pacific region. The $169,035 award, with a start date of September 11, 2024 and an ultimate completion date of August 31, 2029, will utilize data from the Revitalizing...
This $216,478 National Science Foundation project grant through the Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083) will fund research at New Mexico State University in collaboration with the United States Environmental Protection Agency to investigate the pathogenicity of bacteria surviving water disinfection processes. The two-year project beginning February 1, 2023 will explore the impact of chlorine water treatment on bacterial pathogens using advanced cellular assays and metatranscriptomics....
This $549,999 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) will support research at George Washington University to investigate the impacts of bacteria-virus associations on the transmission, persistence, and health effects of enteric viruses in aquatic environments. The key objectives are to: 1) elucidate how bacterial association affects the infectivity, environmental persistence, and disinfection resistance of enteric viruses; 2) investigate the...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (CFDA 93.855 - Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research) provides $142,932 to The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York to investigate the potential of wastewater surveillance data to improve SARS-CoV-2 dynamical modeling and forecasting. The primary objectives are to leverage a dataset from the New York State wastewater surveillance network to evaluate how incorporating wastewater data...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $949,997 Project Grant to Iowa State University of Science and Technology under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to investigate the role of environmental factors in the development of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in municipal wastewater treatment plants. The five-year research project, starting November 1, 2023, will conduct field, laboratory, and computational studies to determine how susceptible bacterial strains are replaced by...
This Project Grant award of $500,000 from the National Science Foundation's Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) supports research at Purdue University to engineer drinking water biofilms that are stable and resistant to invasion by pathogens. The goal is to develop a more sustainable approach to controlling biofilms in drinking water systems, which can harbor microbes that cost over $2.4 billion annually in healthcare costs. The 5-year project will use bench-scale experiments and a unique plumbing...
This Project Grant award of $430,252 from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports a collaborative multi-year research project examining the multi-sectoral determinants of health in low-income communities globally. The research uses qualitative and quantitative methods to investigate the formulation, interpretation, translation, and implementation of health policies across local, national, and transnational scales. The project...
