- The Morehouse School of Medicine, Inc. will conduct research on the role of neuregulin-1 in proliferation and differentiation of brain cortical neuronal stem cells during fetal development under a $1,681,744 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Office of Integrative Activities. The research will examine how neuregulin-1 mediates normal brain cortical development through signaling pathways involving regulators of cell cycle, neural migration, differentiation and maturation....
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083) provides $878,496.00 to the Morehouse School of Medicine, Inc. (MSM) from May 1, 2025 to April 30, 2028 to conduct research on the role of STAT5 signaling in placental dysfunction, inflammation, and fetal immune activation. The project aims to bridge the gap in understanding innate immune signaling at the placenta and identify mechanisms associated with placental development and...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Office of Integrative Activities awarded a $738,400 Project Grant to the Morehouse School of Medicine (MSM) to investigate the synergistic effects of engineered extracellular vesicles (EVs) from stem cells and macrophages on angiogenesis, the formation of new blood vessels. The 4-year project will explore how EVs from different cell types cooperatively regulate normal and pathological angiogenesis, as well as develop novel EV-based therapeutic strategies....
- The Morehouse School of Medicine (MSM) was awarded a $500,000 Project Grant by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) under the Mental and Behavioral Health Education and Training Grants program (CFDA 93.732). The grant will fund the implementation of the Rural Georgia Behavioral Health Evidence-Based Services Training (BHEST) program, an initiative to develop a pipeline of behavioral health paraprofessionals trained to address the needs of rural children and adolescents in West...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $7,394,696 Project Grant under the STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program to the Morehouse School of Medicine, Inc. (MSM) to establish a world-class research center for studying circadian rhythms and sleep. The 5-year project, titled "CREST PHASE I: CENTER FOR CIRCADIAN RHYTHMICITY AND SLEEP HOMEOSTASIS", aims to investigate how circadian disruptions affect the body, focusing on identifying the neuronal mechanisms responsible for...
- Morehouse College Inc. was awarded a $299,818 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Research on Learning in Formal and Informal Settings under the STEM Education program (CFDA #47.076). The grant will fund a research project from August 2021 through July 2023 to investigate barriers and strategies to increase participation of Historically Black Colleges and Universities in STEM education research. As part of its mission to ensure the vitality of the nation's STEM...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded Morehouse College Inc., a private historically Black college in Atlanta, Georgia, a $399,605 Project Grant under its STEM Education (formerly Education and Human Resources) program (CFDA 47.076). The funding will support the development, implementation, and study of innovative approaches to improving the preparation and success of historically Black college and university (HBCU) undergraduate students in STEM disciplines, with a focus on deep...
- This $1.2M project grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) aims to increase data science research capacity and diversity at Meharry Medical College (MMC), a private, historically Black academic health science center. The project will establish a new doctoral program in data science, recruit top faculty in artificial intelligence/machine learning and data science, and enroll 12 students from underrepresented groups in two cohorts over the...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Office of Integrative Activities awarded a $460,297 Project Grant to the University of Maryland Eastern Shore (UMES) to conduct research on the biosynthetic pathway for the production of manzamine alkaloids - a class of naturally occurring compounds with potential applications in medicine, agriculture, and biotechnology. The project aims to identify the biosynthetic building blocks and key steps involved in the assembly of the complex manzamine A molecular...
The Morehouse School of Medicine (MSM) received a $996,072 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Integrative Activities (CFDA 47.083) program. The grant will support research to investigate the role of the acid-sensing ion channel 1A (ASIC1A) in neuronal development and maturation. Through a combination of molecular biology, imaging, electrophysiology, pharmacology, proteomics, and in vitro/in vivo models, the project aims to systematically examine how ASIC1A contributes to normal nervous system development. The findings may help establish new therapeutic strategies for treating neurodevelopmental and neurodegenerative disorders. The award also includes an integrated educational and research training program to provide hands-on research experiences, particularly for students from underrepresented groups in STEM fields.
