This $300,000 Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) project grant, awarded by the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture (CFDA 10.310), aims to measure the effects of plant growth regulator (PGR) treatments on the volatile chemistry, sugar, and anthocyanin content of strawberries and blueberries. The project has three key objectives: 1) evaluate how three PGR treatments impact flavor volatiles, sugars, and anthocyanins; 2) elucidate the underlying mechanisms by measuring the...
The University of Arizona is the recipient of a $294,000 Project Grant from the USDA's Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program. The grant, awarded on May 1, 2024, will fund a 12-week parallel-arm clinical trial to compare the impact of two weekly doses of pulses - 1.5 cups/week and 3 cups/week - on cardiovascular disease risk factors and diet quality in 180 adults representative of the U.S. population. The study aims to provide valuable information about the health benefits of...
This federal Project Grant award for $110,992 from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) supports research to investigate the role of hypoxia-inducible factor-2a (HIF-2a) signaling in age-induced bone loss and osteoporosis. The primary objectives are to establish the relationship between HIF-2a and senescent gene expression in osteocytes during skeletal aging (Aim 1), demonstrate that osteocyte HIF-2a stabilization drives a senescent gene signature (Aim 2), and determine...
