The National Science Foundation (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program awarded a $507,773 Project Grant to the University of Arkansas, Fayetteville Division to study the genetic factors influencing internal and external tooth morphology in non-human primates. The 3-year project, starting in April 2024, uses non-invasive microCT scanning and quantitative genetics analysis to measure dental variation and determine the degree to which tooth characteristics are...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program provides $298,025 to The Trustees of the University of Pennsylvania to investigate the progression of dental wear and senescence over a simulated 50-year period of human chewing. The study employs an artificial chewing simulator to measure changes in dental function, occlusal topography, microstructure, and elemental composition of extracted third molars. This research...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program totaling $201,974 provides funding for a study investigating the progression of dental wear and dental senescence over a 50-year simulated chewing period. The study utilizes extracted third molars and an artificial chewing simulator to directly assess changes in dental function, occlusal topography, microstructure, and enamel composition associated with...
Slippery Rock University of Pennsylvania will receive $133,151 over three years from the National Science Foundation's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075) to conduct research on developmental links between teeth and facial development from birth through adulthood. The project will generate 3D models and other resources for K-12 students and provide training to one postdoctoral scholar and multiple graduate and undergraduate students. Researchers will use micro...
This Project Grant from the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR), part of the Department of Health and Human Services, will fund research into the genetic basis of human skeletal facial morphology through July 2025. Provided under the Oral Diseases and Disorders Research program (CFDA 93.121), the $936,510 in funding will support two key aims. First, the awardee will enhance current mesh landmarking procedures for craniofacial bone by developing a dense quasi-landmark...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $139,833 project grant to develop isotopic analyses of human tooth enamel. With a completion date of April 30, 2023, this award will support research under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075). Specifically, the grant will enable the recipient to develop isoscapes and test lead isotope ratios in human tooth enamel. Isoscapes are maps that show spatial variations in isotope ratios, while analyzing lead isotopes in teeth...
The National Science Foundation awarded a two-year, $138,000 Project Grant to support research titled "Assessing Potential Parallel Evolution of Heterodonty via Co-option of Shared Developmental Modules." The grant falls under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), which aims to advance biological science knowledge and address major issues facing the nation. The grant will fund research from May 2022 through April 2024 to be conducted in Seattle, Washington. The research aims...
The National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR) awarded a $455,939 Project Grant under the Oral Diseases and Disorders Research program (CFDA 93.121) to the University of Massachusetts Lowell. The 3-year project, which commenced on July 1, 2024, will investigate the molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying the effects of the signaling factor FGF8 on the development and morphogenesis of the first pharyngeal pouch and first pharyngeal cleft, which are critical for proper jaw...
This Federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR) under CFDA Program 93.121 (Oral Diseases and Disorders Research) provides $227,688 in funding to the University of Southern California (USC) to investigate the roles of the genes HSD3B7 and FOXP2 in regulating lower jaw development. The research aims to uncover novel mechanisms by which these two genes, downstream of the NR5A2 transcription factor, function to balance skeletal and...
