Goals
The primary goal of the UC Mosquito Research Program is to conduct research which will provide improved methods
of managing pest and disease-transmitting mosquitoes, thereby protecting the citizens of California from
mosquito-borne disease and discomfort from mosquito bites. To meet the needs of mosquito abatement
districts (MAD) throughout the state of California, we have asked them to provide
research topics that they would
like to see pursued.
These research topics are not meant to be exclusive and any proposal would qualify that fits within
the primary program goal as stated above. It is the responsibility of all investigators submitting proposals
to be sure that any research proposed conform to the guidelines for ethical research accepted by the University
of California and enforced by the individual campuses. These guidelines are especially important for safety,
animal care, and where the use of human subjects for research is concerned.
Eligibility
Eligibility for application for research funding from the UC Mosquito Research Program is limited to faculty
possessing principal investigator status on a University of California campus.
Criteria for funding
Proposals will be evaluated for scientific merit and relevance to problems associated with the control of
mosquitoes and mosquito-borne diseases of public health significance. The Mosquito Research Program,
through the use of its grants review committee and
through administrative review, will evaluate all proposals for conformance to guidelines for ethical research.
In cases where questions arise, proposals may be returned to applicants for resolution of these questions
before funds are released.
Please note that requests must be explicitly for one, two, or three years (1, 2, 3 years). Length of
project (1-3 years) and year for which support is being requested must be indicated (example: Year 2 of 3-year project).
There is a place for this on the cover page. Requests for four or more years of funding will be trimmed
automatically to three years. Final notice of awards will be in June 2008.
Proposal Submission
To be considered for funding, proposals must be received in the Mosquito Research Program Office,
School of Veterinary Medicine, Department of Pathology, Microbiology, and Immunology, c/o VM:APC,
1321 Haring Hall, University of California, One Shields Avenue, Davis, CA 95616 no later than
