This grant from the National Science Foundation supports research on the ecological, evolutionary, and socio-ecological principles that influence the transmission dynamics of infectious diseases. Research areas include determinants of disease transmission, spread of pathogens through various means, population dynamics of hosts, and societal impacts on disease transmission. Encouraging proposals related to zoonotic, environmentally-borne, vector-borne diseases, and more, with a focus on public health concerns in developing countries and agricultural systems. Collaboration with public health experts is encouraged. Closing date for applications is Dec 05, 2012.

| Description:: | The Ecology and Evolution of Infectious Diseases program supports research on the ecological, evolutionary, and socio-ecological principles and processes that regulate the transmission dynamics of infectious diseases. The program’s focus is on both the discovery, and the building and testing models that elucidate these principles and processes. Research proposals should focus on understanding the determinants of transmission of diseases to humans, non-human animals, or plants; the spread of pathogens by environmental factors, vectors or abiotic agents; the population dynamics and genetics of reservoir species or alternate hosts; or the cultural, social, behavioral, and economic dimensions of disease transmission. Research may be on zoonotic, environmentally-borne, vector-borne, or enteric diseases of either terrestrial, freshwater, or marine systems and organisms, including diseases of non-human animals and plants, at any scale from specific pathogens to inclusive environmental systems. Proposals for research on disease systems of public health concern to developing countries are strongly encouraged, as are disease systems of concern in agricultural and coastal marine systems. Investigators are encouraged to include links to the public health research community, including for example, participation of epidemiologists, physicians, veterinarians, food scientists, social scientists, entomologists, pathologists, virologists, or parasitologists. |
