The National Science Foundation awarded a $1,160,481 project grant to Yale University from September 2021 through August 2025 under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049). The grant supports modeling of the structural and mechanical properties of tissue during zebrafish tailbud elongation. The Mathematical and Physical Sciences program aims to advance scientific knowledge and understanding in core disciplines, consistent with the scope of this award to Yale. Over the four-year period of performance in New Haven, CT, Yale researchers will utilize the funding to develop models of tissue behavior during a critical phase of zebrafish embryonic development. Insights from this research could further scientific knowledge of organ formation mechanisms.
