This National Science Foundation (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) Project Grant award provides $160,000 in funding to support a postdoctoral fellowship investigation into how sleep facilitates the integration of new and existing memories. The goal is to understand the brain mechanisms that enable this integration process, which is critical for building knowledge from new information encountered in daily life. The study will use electroencephalography (EEG),...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program provides $457,860 to the University of California, Irvine to conduct research on the role of multiple nights of sleep in memory consolidation. The project aims to systematically examine how memory benefits change over time with successive sleep events, focusing on the prolonged impact of sleep on the weakest memories. The research will utilize a combination of...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242), provides $665,893 to the Regents of the University of Michigan to conduct research on how hippocampal neural activity during sleep supports memory consolidation and context-specific recall. The key products and services to be delivered under this award include: 1) developing advanced machine learning techniques and population-level neural recordings...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a 3-year, $200,000 Project Grant to Brown University under the Integrative Activities (CFDA No. 47.083) program. The purpose of this collaborative U.S.-Israel research project is to investigate the neural mechanisms by which learning can be enhanced for both visual and motor skill acquisition. The research aims to integrate findings on memory reactivation and the role of sleep in facilitating skill learning, and to understand how these processes work...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's $150,000 Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research from October 1, 2022 to September 30, 2026 to translate insights from sleep biology to improve continual learning in artificial neural networks. The University of California San Diego will study multi-phasic sleep patterns across the honeybee brain using electrophysiological experiments. This will inform computational models of sleeping neural networks to enhance deep...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $332,602 Project Grant to the University of Texas at Austin under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.075). The award will support research from October 2021 through September 2022 to study the relationship between habitual sleep quality, neural activity in episodic memory networks, and episodic memory performance across the adult lifespan. A diverse sample of 90 young, middle-aged, and older adults without...
This $442,938 Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging's Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) will fund research to elucidate changes in sleep, memory, and synaptic plasticity that occur with aging, and identify mechanisms to prevent or reverse age-related memory decline. The primary awardee, The Regents of the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF), will conduct a series of studies in the C. elegans model system to: Characterize how aging affects the sleep patterns...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) Federal Grant Program (CFDA 47.070) provides $186,772 to Rutgers, The State University to develop a data-driven, systemic model of hippocampal spatial learning based on the parameters of the hippocampal synaptic architecture. The research aims to link the experimentally derived characteristics of individual neurons and synapses to the effects on cognitive outcomes at the...
This $202,401 Project Grant was awarded to Furman University by the National Science Foundation's Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083) on August 15, 2023. The funding supports a research project titled "RUI: Mechanisms of Memory Consolidation in Offline Wakefulness," which investigates how short periods of waking rest can improve memory consolidation, similar to the process that occurs during sleep. The project aims to deepen the understanding of memory and identify ways to...
This Project Grant award of $146,816.00 from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) under the Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders (CFDA 93.853) supports research aimed at developing a predictive model for sleep/wake behavior and elucidating the functional mechanisms by which sleep serves a healthy brain. The key objectives of the project are: 1) Developing a machine learning algorithm to predict the mechanisms of neural...
