This Project Grant award of $274,595 from the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) under CFDA 93.865 Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research supports research on the biological mechanisms linking childhood adversity and accelerated aging. The study aims to investigate how early life stress, including childhood maltreatment, may alter mitochondrial DNA and function, potentially increasing risk for stress- and age-related health...
This Project Grant award of $794,978.00 from the National Institute on Aging (NIA), under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866), will support a longitudinal study to examine accelerated epigenetic aging as a mechanism linking socioeconomic disadvantage across the lifespan to cognitive decline in midlife. The research will leverage the Adult Health and Behavior Project's existing data on individual socioeconomic status, neuropsychological assessments, and stored blood samples to analyze...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $160,000 Social, Behavioral and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) Postdoctoral Research Fellowship (SPRF) grant to an early career scientist for a 2-year project investigating the effects of early life adversity on DNA methylation and gene regulation in rhesus macaques. The goal is to provide a comprehensive systems-wide characterization of how early life adversity impacts DNA methylation patterns across primate physiology, and to assess the...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program provides $394,032 to The Pennsylvania State University (Penn State) to advance research on using epigenetic age estimation methods for archaeological and forensic applications. The project aims to: (1) develop a cost-efficient, degradation-resistant genomic methylation typing method; (2) create a high-quality predictive model of age from bone methylation signals;...
This Project Grant award from the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD), under the federal Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865), provides $170,296 to Teachers College, Columbia University to conduct a longitudinal study examining the relationships among maternal stress, epigenetic aging, and cognitive/behavioral development in early childhood. The 2-year project aims to: 1) Investigate stress-related...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) Project Grant award of $160,000 supports a two-year postdoctoral fellowship to study the relationship between pesticide exposure, social factors, and human biology during childhood. The research will be conducted under the sponsorship of Drs. Elizabeth Mallott and Theresa Gildner at Washington University in St. Louis. The project aims to: 1) examine associations between pesticide exposure, body...
The National Science Foundation Office of International Science and Engineering awarded a $146,000 Project Grant to Brooklyn, NY from September 1, 2021 to August 31, 2023. The grant funds a study titled "Effects of Early Life Adversity on the Pace of Aging in Rhesus Macaques." Under the grant, the grantee will examine how early life stress impacts the rate of aging in rhesus macaques. The research aims to advance understanding of accelerated aging processes using the NSF's Office of...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (SBE) program (CFDA 47.075) provides $128,798 to Northern Kentucky University to conduct a longitudinal assessment of the impact of early life adversity on the development of social behavior in a non-human primate species. The study aims to contribute to the understanding of the evolution of the juvenile period and the proximate mechanisms underlying the relationship between early life...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will fund a postdoctoral research fellowship focused on inferring genetic admixture histories via mechanistic modeling in structured ancestral populations. The $240,000 award, effective September 1, 2024 through August 31, 2027, will support the fellow's research to develop a method for understanding the genealogical history of genetically admixed populations, with a focus on...
This $115,696 federal Project Grant, awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program, supports a critical developmental science research project on life course trajectories in the 1982 Pelotas birth cohort study. The project will use an ethnographic approach to elucidate how developmental diversity takes shape, challenging generalizable developmental norms. It will generate a longitudinal ethnographic database, a white...
