*Call for Research Proposals Related to Honey Bee Health*

*Email your proposals to Kelly Rourke (kr at pollinator.org
<kr at pollinator.org?subject=NAPPC%20HBH%20Grants>) by *
*Friday, February 1, 2019.*
*Background*

The North American Pollinator Protection Campaign (NAPPC) is seeking
proposals for research related to improving the health of honey bees.
Proposals should focus on research to understand, manage, suppress, and
eradicate Varroa mites, small hive beetles, and other pests, pathogens, and
diseases contributing to colony losses. Summaries of previously funded
projects can be found at http://pollinator.org/honeybee_health.htm
<https://pollinator.us17.list-manage.com/track/click?u=d3fc276110a2ce56101ecad16&id=1a12ee2af7&e=eb843138ac>.
Review and selection of proposals will be conducted by members of the Honey
Bee Health Task Force.
*Research Needs *

We anticipate supporting several proposals, for a maximum of $10,000 for
each individual proposal.  Students and post-doctoral research fellows are
encouraged to apply.  Funds must be used within a one-year period.
Focused, targeted projects with a high likelihood of providing tangible
results that can be applied to improving bee health are preferred.
*Priority Areas*

The Honey Bee Health Task Force has identified seven priority areas for
funding, though other areas will be considered as well

   1. Effects of *pathogens and pests* on honey bee behavior, physiology
   and/or colony health; including the development of novel methods to
   mitigate these effects.
   2. Effects of *nutrition* on pest, pathogen, and disease incidence.
   3. Effects of *pesticides* on pest, pathogen, and disease incidence.
   4. Effects of parasite and pathogen *spillover* between bee species.
   5. Development of approaches for *genetic stock* improvement of honey
   bee populations to enhance resistance to pathogens and parasites.
   6. Effects of *climate or environmental variables* on honey bee pests,
   pathogens, and disease incidence.
   7. The development of *diagnostics* or indicators for the presence of
   pests, pathogens and diseases that affect honey bee health, particularly
   field-ready diagnostics that can be used by beekeepers.
