Grant and Funding Opportunity Announcements
Application Deadline: 4/19/2007
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), as part of its Science to Achieve Results (STAR) program, is seeking applications proposing to use interdisciplinary approaches to study the relationship between anthropogenic stressors (within ecosystems), changes in host and/or vector biodiversity, and infectious disease transmission. Research will focus on understanding the environmental and social factors that contribute to biodiversity change, the population dynamics of animal reservoirs and vectors of disease, biological mechanisms that influence disease transmission to humans, and the processes by which infectious diseases emerge and spread. Research on the links between anthropogenic stressors, biodiversity and infectious disease can have an important impact on our view of biodiversity, the services provided by natural ecosystems, and how we manage these resources to protect human health and the environment.
