- This federal Project Grant award of $196,460 from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242), is supporting research to elucidate the neural substrates underlying novelty-related social investigation behaviors in mice. The research aims to leverage in vivo recording techniques, projection-specific optogenetic stimulation, and computational approaches to determine how social recognition information encoded in the ventral...
- This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $1,000,000 will fund research at Cornell University from March 2023 through February 2027 under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074). The award will support projects to disentangle the neural mechanisms underlying social behaviors and alternative mating tactics in vertebrates. Researchers will conduct studies in prairie voles, a socially monogamous species where males vary in sexual fidelity despite strong pair bonds. The work will...
- Emory University will provide research training and career development services to undergraduate students from diverse backgrounds under a $101,370 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075). Specifically, Emory University will implement the MB3 Research Experiences for Undergraduates Site program to identify and select 10 junior or senior undergraduate students annually from institutions without graduate...
- Emory University was awarded a two-year $530,917 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to conduct research titled "SIGNALING FROM SARCOMERE TO MITOCHONDRIA: A NEW PARADIGM FOR OPTIMAL MUSCLE PERFORMANCE." The grant aims to promote progress in the biological sciences by increasing scientific knowledge and enhancing understanding of major problems confronting the nation. Specifically, the research is intended to investigate...
- The National Science Foundation awarded a $138,000 Project Grant to support research titled "The Social Brain: Behavioral, Neural, and Transcriptomic Modulation of the Brain" from July 1, 2021 to June 30, 2023. This funding was provided under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to promote progress in the biological sciences and increase understanding of major issues facing the nation. Over the two year period of performance in Columbia, Missouri, this award will allow the...
- This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242), provides $816,063 to The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York to conduct research on the neural mechanisms underlying how social stimuli elicit motivated behavior. The key focus of the research is to understand how neural representations of social rank information, such as dominant and submissive social cues, converge onto brain...
- This $14.48 million cooperative agreement from the National Institutes of Health's National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke will fund research into the neural dynamics driving affiliation and attachment. Awarded to the University of California, Los Angeles under the Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders program (CFDA 93.853), the project aims to examine how the neurobiology underlying affiliative behaviors in mice is adapted to support more...
- The National Science Foundation Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences awarded a $187,180 project grant to the Georgia State University Research Foundation Inc. from January 1, 2022 to December 31, 2024. The grant supports collaborative research examining the relative roles of ecology, evolution, and experience in solving novel problems under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075). This program contributes to scientific strength and welfare through promotion...
- This $421,587 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports a longitudinal study on the development of social integration in a non-human primate species. The research, led by the Research Foundation of the City University of New York (RFCUNY) at Hunter College, examines how early rearing environments and maternal social networks impact the origins and evolution of social bonds and an individual's position...
Emory University will conduct research on the neural circuits that promote social cohesion in complex animal groups under a $1,265,579 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Integrative Organismal Systems. The grant falls under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), which supports basic research to advance understanding of biological systems. Specifically, Emory researchers will use chemogenetic and optogenetic techniques paired with social network analysis to identify how the hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus modulates fear and reward responses. This will provide insight into the brain mechanisms enabling group living in highly social spiny mice. The researchers will also incorporate outreach programs to educate the public on group behaviors in animals. The four-year grant period runs from June 15, 2023 to May 31, 2027 and will fund Emory's investigation of the neural underpinnings of social behaviors in complex environments.
