The National Science Foundation awarded a $587,853 Project Grant to The Research Foundation For The State University Of New York to fund research into the mechanics of cortical folding patterns in the developing human brain. The three-year award runs from July 1, 2021 to June 30, 2024 under the NSF Engineering program (CFDA 47.041).
The grantee and sub-awardee, Boston Children's Hospital, will conduct research to improve understanding of how patterns in the cerebral cortex form during human development. The NSF Engineering program supports innovation and excellence in engineering research, and this award aims to advance knowledge of brain development mechanics with potential implications for related health conditions.
