This National Science Foundation (NSF) project grant, funded under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), supports collaborative research on the mechanisms that regulate co-transmission of multiple neurotransmitters in fruit flies. The $502,569 award to the University of Montana, effective October 1, 2024 through September 30, 2028, will leverage cutting-edge techniques to examine how neurons that co-release glutamate and octopamine are impacted by sexual dimorphism and social isolation....
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $502,563 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program to Villanova University. The award, effective April 1, 2025 through March 31, 2028, will support research to investigate how larval neurons in the Drosophila nervous system are reprogrammed during maturation to enable adult-specific behaviors. The project aims to determine how different subtypes of neurons contribute to female mating behaviors and uncover the molecular...
This federal Project Grant award, provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), supports a three-year Drosophila neurobiology course at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (CSHL) from 2024-2027. The $182,400 award will fund an intensive, hands-on course that provides advanced training in genetic, molecular, cellular, behavioral, and computational approaches for studying the neural basis of fly behavior. The course is designed to introduce students to...
The National Science Foundation awarded Delaware State University $377,976 under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering federal grant program (CFDA 47.070) to support a project providing training and partnership in data science for advancing biomolecular detection research.
