- This $888,757 Project Grant was awarded on July 1, 2024 by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to Weill Medical College of Cornell University. The project will explore an unexpected, chromophore-independent function of the opsin protein in fruit flies (Drosophila melanogaster), which appears to play a critical role in the homeostasis and viability of both photoreceptor and mechanoreceptor cells. The research aims to characterize opsin's...
- This Project Grant award of $1,140,828 was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York, effective August 1, 2024. The purpose of the award is to generate novel network analysis tools to elucidate the functional logic of 3D vision circuits in the Drosophila (fruit fly) brain. The project aims to shed light on the relationship between microsaccades (small-scale eye movements) and 3D...
- This federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $584,772 to Trustees of Boston University to develop new light-based tools for monitoring infection progression and host immune responses in living fruit flies (Drosophila). The goal is to uncover genetic and environmental factors that influence infection outcomes by tracking microbial dynamics and host immune responses over time in individual animals. The research...
- This federal Project Grant award of $104,012.00 from the National Eye Institute (NEI) under the Vision Research program (CFDA 93.867) is supporting research by Drexel University to characterize visual feature encoding in Drosophila melanogaster (fruit fly) visual projection neurons LPLC1 and LPLC2. The goal is to uncover the selectivity of these neurons to specific visual features and understand the underlying mechanisms governing their feature encoding. The 2-year project period runs from...
- This Project Grant award of $502,563.00 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program to Villanova University supports a research project investigating how larval neurons in the Drosophila fruit fly are reprogrammed to enable stage-appropriate adult behaviors. The project will leverage Drosophila as a model system to study the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying the transformation of juvenile neurons into circuits that support adult-specific...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Federal Grant Program has awarded a 4-year, $366,378 Project Grant to the Trustees of Indiana University to conduct research on the neuronal basis of sexual dimorphism in the circadian system of the fruit fly Drosophila. The project aims to elucidate how differences in the architecture of the Drosophila circadian system underlie sex differences in sleep/wake cycles and timekeeping robustness. The research will leverage...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Federal Grant Program awarded a $184,388.00 Project Grant to the University of California, Irvine (UCI) to develop new light-based tools to monitor infections in living fruit flies (Drosophila). The goal is to track both bacterial growth and the host's immune response in individual flies over time, in order to identify genetic and other factors that influence infection outcomes. This research will introduce innovative...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $444,362 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to the University of Vermont & State Agricultural College, to be completed by April 30, 2027. This research project aims to investigate amino acid taste coding mechanisms and modulation in the fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster. The primary objectives are to: 1) identify physiological factors that modulate amino acid taste response, 2) uncover the repertoire of cells and...
- This National Science Foundation Project Grant award of $240,000 supports research under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) from December 1, 2023 through November 30, 2025. The award funds an NSF Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Biology to develop a comprehensive mathematical model of multisensory integration inspired by insect brain function. The fellow will leverage tools from nonlinear dynamical systems to model how insects combine distinct sensory cues like...
- This $1,414,816 National Science Foundation project grant supports research into the functional stratification of sensory encoding in the biological gyroscope of flying insects. Specifically, the grant funds work at Princeton University from January 2022 through July 2024 to reveal the principles of sensory encoding and sensorimotor processing that flies use to control their halteres and aerial maneuvers. The research will combine in vivo imaging and analysis approaches from computational...
