The Sustainability Fellowship to the Allan Lab provided critical support into a novel research program on the effects of green stormwater infrastructure on human risk of exposure to mosquito-borne diseases in urban environments.  These funds helped support the collection of preliminary data, particularly for a large-scale project based in Aurora, IL, where the City of Aurora is retrofitting an older stormwater management system with several new green technologies, including infiltration catch basins and rain gardens.  We are using this infrastructure project as a natural experiment to compare the mosquito-borne disease risk before and after this improvement project, both in the treated area and in a comparable "control" neighborhood.  The Sustainability Fellowship also provided much needed support while pursuing external research funds.  During the award period, we have received two external awards in support of this research.  First, we have received a $30,000 grant from the North Central Integrated Pest Management Center of the USDA to convene a working group to analyze the impacts of green stormwater infrastructure on the ecology of mosquito-borne disease.  Eliana Brown has been invited to join the working group.  Second, we received $158,600 from the Vector Biology panel at NIH to support the ongoing study in Aurora, IL.  All of these accomplishments were made possible due to the generous support of the Sustainability Fellowship.
