This three-year project grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Information and Intelligent Systems, under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering program (CFDA 47.070), provides $255,076 to the University of California Santa Cruz to develop new mechanical models and efficient computational methods for human hair of Type 4 texture. The award aims to address current deficiencies in understanding and simulating Afro-textured or kinky hair, which is the naturally...
This $1,411,593 Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (CFDA 93.242 Mental Health Research Grants) supports research to elucidate the cellular and molecular functions of a human-specific neural enhancer called "HAR123." The research aims to determine how HAR123 differs between humans, chimpanzees, and mice in its impact on neural progenitor cell generation and cognitive flexibility. The 5-year project, awarded to the University of California, San Diego, will...
This federal Project Grant award from the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865) provides $375,822 to investigate the mechanisms by which the mutation-length CGG short tandem repeat (STR) in the FMR1 gene coordinates megabase-scale heterochromatin domains and their inter-chromosomal contacts in Fragile X syndrome. The research aims to demonstrate how the...
This $223,902 Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) will fund a feasibility study to establish data collection protocols and harmonize genetic and phenotypic data from a consanguineous population in Pakistan for inclusion in the Alzheimer's Disease Sequencing Project (ADSP). The key products and services to be delivered under this award include: Harmonizing data acquisition protocols with the Longitudinal Aging Study in India - Diagnostic...
This Project Grant award from the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (CFDA 93.865 - Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research) provides $518,754 to Magee-Womens Research Institute and Foundation to develop a bioadhesive vaginal film for extended release of multipurpose technology (MPT) antibodies.

This $200,000 Project Grant award from the National Endowment for the Humanities' Promotion of the Humanities Research program (CFDA 45.161) supports a multi-method, interdisciplinary, and transnational study to explore the role of big tech companies in the advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) and the implications for democracy, governance, and public trust. The research team from the University of Pennsylvania will assess corporate influence over AI strategies through a combination of...
This Project Grant award from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) under the Trans-NIH Research Support program (CFDA 93.310) supports research to visualize the mechanisms at the intersection of chromatin, transcription, and epigenetics. The $1,525,500 award to Harvard Medical School aims to develop a combinatorial biochemical and structural approach called "Visual Biochemistry" that uses a fully reconstituted chromatin transcription system and time-resolved single-particle...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), under the Environmental Health (CFDA 93.113) federal grant program, is supporting research to define the urinary, biliary, and fecal excretion of diverse per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) and the impact of dietary fiber. The $157,437 award, effective from May 10, 2025 to May 9, 2027, is being provided to the University of Massachusetts Lowell to test the hypotheses that biliary excretion of...
