The grant supports research and development efforts to reduce filth fly populations and transmission of diarrheal pathogens in harsh settings. The funding will enable The Mentor Initiative to develop new interventions to protect deployed military personnel from arthropod-borne disease threats, with a focus on advanced technology development, prototype evaluation, and improved vector control techniques. As a prime awardee, The Mentor Initiative may also provide sub-awards to partner organizations to contribute specialized expertise and deliver related products or services under this project.
