Researchers will study how urbanization affects the ecology and health of white ibis and potentially other coastal wetland bird species.

Researchers will develop a modeling tool to better understand disease transmission and forecast future disease outbreaks in Atlantic bottlenose dolphins living in the Chesapeake Bay.

Researchers will assess the impacts of coal ash repositories on freshwater wetlands and health risks to aquatic animals that live there. This is one of our ‘First Award’ grants, designed to help early career researchers establish their own research programs.

This study is part of our fellowship program, established to support early career research scientists. The Fellow will study whether infection with different strains of the parasite Sarcocystis neurona leads to different disease severity in southern sea otters.
