The National Science Foundation Division of Chemical, Bioengineering, Environmental, and Transport Systems awarded $123,291 to Florida Atlantic University under the Engineering (47.041) federal grant program. This Project Grant will support research from April 1, 2021 to June 30, 2021 titled "CAREER: OPTOGENETIC ANALYSIS OF NEUROVASCULAR COUPLING." The grant aims to advance understanding of neurovascular coupling, the critical relationship between neural activity, blood flow changes, and energy metabolism in the brain, through optogenetic techniques. The funding will allow Florida Atlantic University researchers to investigate this understudied area and further the Engineering program's goals of improving quality of life and economic strength through innovative engineering research.
