Yale University was awarded a $950,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Molecular and Cellular Biosciences. The grant is part of NSF's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to promote progress in the biological sciences and strengthen the Nation's scientific enterprise.
Under the award, Yale University will investigate the molecular mechanism of touch sensitivity in the schnauzenorgan of the elephant nose fish from July 1, 2021 to June 30, 2025. The research aims to increase scientific knowledge and enhance understanding of major problems confronting the Nation in the biological sciences. The $950,000 in funding will support Yale's work examining the cellular and molecular basis of touch perception in this unusual fish organ over the four-year period of performance.
