This two-year Project Grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) provides $138,000 in funding to support research on the "Developmental patterning of double-layered epithelia and the evolutionary origin of insect wings." The grant was awarded on July 1, 2021 under the NSF's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074).
The primary product to be delivered is research exploring the developmental processes that form double-layered epithelial tissues, and how these processes influenced the evolutionary emergence of insect wings. The grant will support this basic biological research from July 2021 through June 2023. Insights gained from this research could enhance understanding of major issues in biology, as intended by the NSF Biological Sciences program.
