- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Federal Grant Program provides $419,182 to Carleton College to conduct research on the integration of temporal, positional, and sex-specifying cues in neuronal development. The investigation will use the model organism C. elegans to discover the molecules that regulate the generation of specific neurons controlling reproductive behaviors. The research aims to elucidate how sex-determining signals...
- This $399,996 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program will support research at Saint Joseph's University to explore the mechanisms underlying stress responses and sleep regulation in the model organism Caenorhabditis elegans. The project aims to characterize new neural circuit mechanisms that control avoidance behaviors and recovery sleep in response to threats. The research will be conducted primarily by undergraduate and...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program provides $550,000 in funding to Brandeis University to conduct research on the temperature resilience of the feeding system in the nematode worm C. elegans. The project combines computational modeling and experimental analyses to define the neuronal and circuit principles that enable functional resilience to temperature changes. Key objectives include quantifying the effects of temperature...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $1,000,000 in funding to Tufts University to study how a factor secreted from muscle regulates levels of neurotransmitter receptors in neurons that control movement in the roundworm Caenorhabditis elegans. The research aims to advance scientific understanding of how muscle releases factors that signal to the brain to control communication between neurons, which may provide...
- 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 $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...
