This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program provides $300,000 in funding to the University of Southern California to investigate the evolutionary and developmental origins of the modern human body form. The project aims to understand the transition from the ancestral body shape of Australopithecines to the long-legged, short-armed physique observed in Homo erectus and modern humans. Key research goals...
This Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) supports research to understand how human bone tissue dynamically adapts at the nanoscale level under various loading conditions. The $719,538 award to the Trustees of the University of Pennsylvania, made on May 1, 2024, will investigate the real-time rearrangement and deformation of the nanoscale components of healthy and osteoporotic bone tissue when subjected to cyclic loading....
This two-year, $286,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program will support research investigating the importance of bone marrow consumption in human evolution. Specifically, the grant will fund an early career scientist to conduct independent research under the sponsorship of Colorado State University analyzing bone breakage patterns from modern animal bone collections and zooarchaeological samples. Using new 3D scanning and...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program provides $150,001 to study the individual and collective behavior of osteoclast cells, which play a critical role in bone resorption and remodeling. The project, led by a physician specializing in orthopedic clinical research and a physicist focusing on collective organism dynamics, aims to observe the movement and bone degradation patterns of individual and groups of...
This $297,984 federal Project Grant award, funded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041), supports research to develop data-driven mechanomics approaches to uncover age-related mechanoregulation of bone-mesenchymal stem cells. The research aims to quantify the mechanical forces inside living cells and determine how changes in these forces impact the cells' production and secretion of proteins that shape their surrounding environment. This knowledge could...
This federal Project Grant award of $612,979.00 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) will support research at Cornell University to investigate the role of acetylcholine signaling in osteocyte mechanotransduction and bone remodeling. The project aims to characterize the anatomical and functional relationship between cholinergic nerves and osteocytes in bone tissue, examine the acute effects of local acetylcholine signaling modulation on osteocyte calcium...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Faculty Early Career Development (CAREER) Program grant, with CFDA number 47.083 - Integrative Activities, will support research to improve understanding of how osteocytes (strain-sensing cells embedded in bone tissue) regulate bone material properties and fracture resistance. The $342,516 award to Montana State University, with a period of performance from Sep 1, 2024 to Aug 31, 2029, will pursue two main objectives: 1) determining the impacts of direct...
This three-year project grant from the National Science Foundation provides $270,000 to the University of Michigan for research titled "Collaborative Research: The Effects of Musculoskeletal Design on Bipedal Walking and Running Performance." The grant is part of NSF's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075), which supports basic research and education in these fields to strengthen the nation's scientific foundations. Specifically, the funding will support...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program provides $135,000 to Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) from October 2024 through September 2026 to conduct research on characterizing the evolution of humans and their ancestors through an ecological approach. The key products of this research project include: 1) surveying for hominin and faunal fossils, including microfauna; 2) reconstructing 3D...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) Project Grant award of $160,000 supports an early career postdoctoral researcher investigating how to improve the ability to understand the deep history of population health from evidence in the archaeological record. The project aims to develop and use cutting-edge computational methods, including generative modeling and Bayesian inference, to test the accuracy of current analytical methods in...
