- This $857,250 National Science Foundation project grant supports research into the evolution of nociception in elasmobranchs through June 2025. The grant funds research at the University Corporation to determine if sharks experience pain by identifying cell types and structures associated with nociception. Researchers will analyze shark genome and transcriptome data to identify pain receptor sequences and profiles in dorsal root ganglia. Immunohistochemistry will label putative nociceptors,...
- The National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) awarded a 5-year, $947,553 project grant to the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution to develop an open-source toolkit for studying microfossil fish teeth and shark scales (ichthyoliths) found in deep-sea sediments. The research aims to leverage these abundant marine vertebrate fossils to evaluate the ecological and evolutionary responses of fish to major environmental transitions in Earth's history. The project will combine...

- This $245,860 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program supports collaborative research by Providence College to investigate how fish achieve rapid, highly maneuverable underwater movements. The research focuses on testing the hypothesis that fish dynamically modulate their body damping (resistance to bending speed) and stiffness to enable these extreme maneuvers, which surpass even state-of-the-art robotic systems. Through a combination...
