This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Chemistry aims to develop a new class of rechargeable battery that pairs sodium metal with nitrogen oxide (NOx) gases. The $300,000 award made under the NSF's Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program supports research at The Ohio State University to establish the fundamental (electro)chemistry of these Na-NOx batteries, improve their stability, and design flow cell prototypes. Key objectives include...

This Cooperative Agreement award, funded by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) under the Unallied Science Program (CFDA 11.472), aims to advance the state of telemetry tag technology for monitoring North Atlantic right whales (NARW). The $679,552 project, with a period of performance from August 1, 2024 to July 31, 2027, will focus on developing a new bioinspired adhesive mounting tag platform to enable longer-duration attachment of telemetry sensors on cetaceans. Key...

Novelmed Therapeutics, Inc. was awarded a $900,000 Project Grant from the National Institutes of Health's National Institute on Aging to develop a selective inhibitor of the alternative pathway of complement as a treatment for Neuromyelitis Optica Spectrum Disorder. Under the grant, Novelmed will conduct preclinical studies to evaluate its lead drug candidate NM5072, including in vitro and ex vivo assays to confirm the drug's mechanism of action and selective inhibition of the alternative...

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is providing a 2-year, $250,000 Cooperative Agreement award under the Chesapeake Bay Studies program (CFDA 11.457) to the North American Association for Environmental Education (NAAEE). The purpose of this award is to establish and facilitate a regional community of practice for systemic environmental literacy and climate change education initiatives targeting school district administrators in the Mid-Atlantic region. The primary...

This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), under the Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders (CFDA 93.853) program, provides $574,921 to the J. David Gladstone Institutes to conduct research on NAXD deficiency and the potential of vitamin B3-based therapies. The key objectives are to: Develop a NAXD knockout mouse model to elucidate the organ-specific pathologies associated with NAXD deficiency,...

This $428,432 Project Grant awarded by the Department of Health and Human Services' National Institutes of Health (NIH) under the Trans-NIH Research Support program (CFDA 93.310) is funding research to advance the basic understanding of the mechanism of action (MOA) and structure-activity relationship (SAR) of the ultra-potent synthetic opioid nitazene derivatives. The project, led by the University of Maryland, Baltimore, aims to use experiments, simulations, and machine learning to elucidate...

This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $994,034 supports the development of novel computational algorithms and multiscale simulations to study the ion transport mechanism of the nitrate/nitrite transporter protein Nark. Funded under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), principal investigators Hai Lin and Emilie Guidez of the University of Colorado Denver will formulate new adaptive multi-layer simulation methods combining quantum and classical modeling...

The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC-CH) received a $427,625 Project Grant award from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research federal grant program (CFDA 93.855) to advance the understanding of natural neutralizing immunity to sapovirus (SAV). The project aims to characterize the kinetics of neutralizing antibodies to SAV in longitudinal serum and stool samples collected from 50 children experiencing a...

This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant under the Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083) provides $128,826 to Louisiana TECH University to acquire a Nanoparticle Tracking Analyzer (NTA) instrument. The NTA will enable real-time analysis of nanomaterials, benefiting research across disciplines including biomanufacturing, pharmaceutical development, and environmental protection.
