This $552,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program will support research at Michigan State University to investigate the neural basis of maternal positive receptivity to offspring touch. The project aims to determine how changes in perineuronal net expression in the primary somatosensory cortex and insular cortex across female reproduction and early maternal caregiving influence the perception of infant touch cues. The research will...
This $420,000 federal Project Grant award was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to the University of Tennessee for a collaborative research project titled "Cortical Perineuronal Net Regulation of Maternal Caregiving Behaviors." The key products and services to be delivered under this 4-year grant, which runs from July 1, 2024 to June 30, 2028, involve investigating the neural basis of maternal positive receptivity to offspring...
This federal Project Grant award of $418,178 from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD), under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865), aims to provide mechanistic insights into the neurobiological mechanisms by which maternal sensitivity is compromised by postpartum depression. Specifically, the University of Massachusetts (UMass), through its Office of Grant & Contract Administration, will use intersectional viral...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD), under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865), provides $524,037 to Baylor College of Medicine to study the neurobiological mechanisms by which the TRPC5 ion channel regulates maternal behavior in mice. The research objectives are to test the hypotheses that TRPC5 maintains maternal behavior by activating oxytocin neurons in the hypothalamus, and through...
This Project Grant award of $103,302 from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences (CFDA 47.075 - Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences) supports collaborative research at Marquette University aimed at understanding disparities in emotional resilience and mental health among mothers and their children facing high psychological, social, and cultural stress. The 3-year project will leverage an existing birth cohort study to examine how maternal...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (CFDA 93.865 - Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research) provides $534,004 to Rutgers, The State University to study the role of corticolimbic circuits in maternal behavior. The research aims to: 1) Identify cell populations in corticolimbic areas responsible for maternal care and threat responses postpartum; 2) Define the synaptic mechanisms behind maternal behaviors postpartum;...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences awarded a $588,063 Project Grant to the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) through the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075). This 3-year grant, effective August 1, 2023, supports a collaborative research project to examine disparities in emotional resilience and mental health among mothers and their children facing high psychosocial stress. The research employs biocultural and...
This Project Grant award for $1,080,375.00 was provided by the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865). The funding supports research at the University of Massachusetts Medical School (UMass Medical) to investigate the role of maternal transcripts and RNA-binding proteins in reproductive fecundity using the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans as a model organism. The research aims to...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (CFDA 47.075 - Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences) supports research to examine the impact of grandparental support on prenatal stress and infant socioemotional outcomes. The $119,411 award, effective September 1, 2025 through August 31, 2030, will be administered by the Dominguez Hills Foundation at California State University, Dominguez Hills. The project aims to (1) characterize patterns of grandparental involvement during...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) provides $237,000 to Northeastern University to investigate the role of the hormone allopregnanolone in producing long-term changes in prefrontal cortex function observed in animals that have given birth. The research aims to establish a causal, mechanistic link between the neurological changes that occur during pregnancy and the postpartum period....
