This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $224,648 to the University of California, Irvine to conduct collaborative research on the shared genetic and cellular mechanisms underlying vertebrate limb and fin regeneration. The research aims to identify the core components of a "toolkit" for limb and fin regeneration by studying the axolotl, African lungfish, and grey bichir. Key objectives include: 1) Testing the...
This $1,174,440.00 federal Project Grant award, funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Integrative Organismal Systems (CFDA 47.074 Biological Sciences), supports collaborative research to identify the shared genetic and cellular mechanisms underlying vertebrate limb and fin regeneration. The research team at Louisiana State University, the prime awardee, is using a comparative approach across three animal models - salamanders, lungfish, and Polypterus - to uncover the core...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) Project Grant award of $400,000 to the President and Fellows of Harvard College from July 2024 to June 2027 will support research to understand the mechanisms that enable the acoel worm Hofstenia miamia to regenerate its entire head, including a new brain, and tail in the correct location. The key objectives are to investigate: 1) how cell signaling events activated by injury initiate asymmetric gene expression...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $315,757 Project Grant to Simmons University under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) for the period of April 1, 2021 through March 31, 2024. The grant aims to advance understanding of the developmental genetics underlying limb initiation in amphibians. Specifically, the university will conduct research to determine the cellular origins and molecular mechanisms that drive limb formation in metamorphosing frogs. Researchers will use...
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 $169,000.00 to President and Fellows of Harvard College (Harvard University) to build a single-cell reference atlas of axolotl embryogenesis. The goal is to identify the origin and nature of stem cells in axolotl embryos, which will enable future research on understanding how the axolotl's remarkable...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) Biomedical Research and Research Training Program (CFDA 93.859) provides $193,664 in funding to the University of Oregon to support two years of Ph.D. training and research focused on understanding the mechanisms of cell state transitions underlying organ size control during zebrafish fin regeneration. The research will utilize computational and quantitative imaging approaches to investigate how...
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 $407,592 in funding to the Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research in Cambridge, MA. The funding will support the development of a novel experimental vertebrate regeneration system using the miniature and transparent fish species Danionella cerebrum, which has the smallest known vertebrate...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) under the Biomedical Research and Research Training Program (CFDA 93.859) provides $1,192,487 to the Rector & Visitors of the University of Virginia (UVA) to investigate the cellular and molecular mechanisms that govern effective tissue regeneration. The research program aims to uncover the genes and gene regulatory networks that regulate key phases of regeneration, including blastema formation,...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program Project Grant award of $823,077 to George Washington University will support research on the evolutionary biomechanics and functional morphology of salamander locomotion. The 5-year project (July 1, 2024 - June 30, 2029) will integrate physiology, engineering, and evolutionary biology to examine how habitat preference and developmental strategy affect the structure and function of salamander limb bones and...
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 $270,000 to support research focused on understanding the mechanisms underlying spinal cord regeneration in zebrafish. The goal is to elucidate the key cellular and molecular processes that enable zebrafish to spontaneously regenerate spinal cord connections after injury, in contrast to the limited...
