0089476FordThis three-year award for U.S.-France cooperative research in marine environment involves Susan E. Ford and Eric N. Powell of Rutgers University's Haskin Shellfish Research Laboratory, researchers at the Center for Coastal Physical Oceanography at Old Dominion University, and Christine Paillard and her group at the Institut Europeen Universitaire de la Mer. The objectives of their project are (1) to construct a numerical model of a marine disease and (2) to test the modeling techniques developed for protozoan parasites on diseases caused by bacteria, such as Brown Ring Disease of marine clams. The US and French investigators bring to this collaboration complementary expertise in ecology and numerical modeling. The project also takes advantage of a long-term database, developed by the French, on Brown Ring Disease of marine clams, which will be integrated into a new model. This award represents the US side of a joint proposal to NSF and the French National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS). NSF will cover travel funds and living expenses for the US investigators. The CNRS will support the visits of French researchers to the United States. The collaboration will advance fundamental understanding of complex interactions among host, parasite and environment. More broadly, it will contribute to understanding the role of short and long-term climate variations on the fluctuation of disease of marine molluscs. Results could be valuable to environmental regulators in both countries.

[0089476]这项为期三年的美法海洋环境合作研究奖的参与者包括罗格斯大学哈斯金贝类研究实验室的Susan E. Ford和Eric N. Powell， Old Dominion大学海岸物理海洋学中心的研究人员，以及欧洲海洋大学研究所的Christine Paillard和她的团队。他们项目的目标是：(1)建立一个海洋疾病的数值模型；(2)测试为由细菌引起的疾病（如蛤的褐环病）的原生动物寄生虫开发的建模技术。美国和法国的研究人员为这次合作带来了生态学和数值模拟方面的互补专业知识。该项目还利用了法国开发的关于海洋蛤褐环病的长期数据库，该数据库将被整合到一个新的模型中。该奖项代表了美国国家科学基金会和法国国家科学研究中心（CNRS）联合提案的美方。美国国家科学基金会将支付美国调查人员的旅费和生活费。法国科学研究中心将支持法国研究人员访问美国。这项合作将促进对宿主、寄生虫和环境之间复杂相互作用的基本理解。更广泛地说，它将有助于了解短期和长期气候变化对海洋软体动物疾病波动的作用。结果可能对两国的环境监管机构都很有价值。
