This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program award provides $552,000.00 in federal funding to Michigan State University (MSU) to conduct research on the neural basis of maternal positive receptivity to offspring touch. The key objectives are to (1) use histochemistry and RT-qPCR to determine changes in perineuronal nets (PNNs) and associated mRNAs in the primary somatosensory cortex (S1) and insular cortex (IC) across female reproduction, and (2) employ...
This National Science Foundation project grant award of $1,444,730 provides funding from June 1, 2022 to May 31, 2026 to The Ohio State University Office of Sponsored Programs under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) federal grant program. The award will support research investigating neuroimmune contributions to maternal care during pregnancy. The grantee aims to further understanding of how pregnancy hormones impact the expectant mother's immune system and brain function to foster...
This federal Project Grant award of $418,178 from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD), under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865), aims to provide mechanistic insights into the neurobiological mechanisms by which maternal sensitivity is compromised by postpartum depression. Specifically, the University of Massachusetts (UMass), through its Office of Grant & Contract Administration, will use intersectional viral...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD), under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865), provides $534,004 to Rutgers, The State University to conduct research on the role of corticolimbic circuits in maternal behavior. The key objectives of this 5-year research project are to: 1) Identify cell populations in corticolimbic brain regions responsible for maternal care and threat responses...
This $400,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083) supports research at the University of Oklahoma to investigate how maternal hormones shape behavioral plasticity and adaptation in house sparrows. The project aims to identify gene networks in the hypothalamus that are sensitive to early testosterone exposure and relate them to adult behavior. It will also test how well early testosterone exposure prepares offspring for...
This federal Project Grant award in the amount of $253,033 from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research to examine the role of tissue mechanics in brain folding during development. The project will use the mouse cerebellum as an experimental system to investigate how growth rates, tensile forces, and material properties of developing brain tissue interact to induce and shape patterns of brain folding. The research aims to advance the...
This federal Project Grant award of $1,340,637 from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Office of the Director under the Trans-NIH Research Support program (CFDA 93.310) will fund research at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) to investigate the multisensory ontogeny of social behavior. The project aims to develop new genetic and viral tools to rapidly and reversibly interrogate neural activity and gene expression in the infant nervous system. The research will first identify...
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 Child Health and Human Development (NICHD), under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865), provides $524,037 to Baylor College of Medicine to investigate the neurobiological mechanisms by which the TRPC5 ion channel regulates maternal behavior in mice. The research objectives are to: 1) test the hypothesis that TRPC5 maintains maternal behavior via activating oxytocin neurons in the hypothalamus, and...
This $700,000 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will support research at the Van Andel Research Institute (VAI) to investigate the mechanisms of developmental plasticity and the impact of maternal metabolic state on offspring development using fruit flies as a model organism. The key objectives are to determine how maternal metabolic state alters metabolic, transcriptional, and epigenomic processes in embryos, and link...
