The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $501,772 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to the University of Missouri System (doing business as Missouri University of Science & Technology) for a 3-year research project from June 2024 to May 2027. The project aims to understand how pheromone signaling and the dauer diapause stage of the model organism Caenorhabditis elegans influence population dynamics under varying environmental conditions. Specifically,...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research at Carleton College that will investigate how neurons develop and form circuits that regulate reproductive behaviors in the model organism C. elegans. The $419,182 award, effective September 1, 2024 through August 31, 2027, aims to elucidate the molecular mechanisms that integrate sex-determining signals with neurodevelopmental processes. The research will leverage...
This $837,754 National Science Foundation project grant will fund research into the impact of the KFERQ protein degradation motif in the roundworm Caenorhabditis elegans. A collaborative team from the City University of New York's Queens College and an Israeli institution will use genetically engineered C. elegans expressing a fluorescent fusion protein to study how proteins are selected and broken down based on the KFERQ motif sequence. The researchers aim to elucidate the molecular...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $192,089 Project Grant to the University of Chicago under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.049) for research titled "Co-Dynamics of Contraction and Adhesion in Animal Morphogenesis." The three-year award beginning March 1, 2022 will support research using advanced microscopy, genetic and biophysical manipulations, and mathematical modeling to gain new insights into the mechanisms governing rapid tissue...
This $1,081,045 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program is funding research at the University of Washington to investigate the molecular mechanisms of a toxin-antidote system in nematode worms. The research aims to determine how a specific toxin kills cells and how the antidote acts to prevent cell death. This work will be complemented by efforts to isolate and identify new worm strains and species from nature, providing material for...
