This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Office of International Science and Engineering (CFDA 47.079) provides $444,843 to Montclair State University to support an international research and education program called "IRES: Neurobiology of Tetrachromatic Vision and Behavioral Responses in Zebrafish and Medaka". The project partners Montclair State University with three research institutes in Japan - RIKEN Institute, Aoyama Gakuin, and the National Institute of...
This $337,422 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) aims to develop a novel "neuron-to-neuron interface" that can transmit signals between individual neurons in the brains of two zebrafish larvae. The researchers at the University of Illinois seek to create a system that allows synchronized behavioral outputs in both a "sender" and "receiver" fish by transmitting neural signals optically between their...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) federal grant program provides $638,000 to Cornell University to investigate the brain mechanisms underlying social communication and aggression in a miniature, transparent fish species called Danionella. The research aims to map the forebrain neural network activated during aggressive displays in these fishes and test how disruption of specific brain regions impacts their acoustic, postural, and...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Integrative Organismal Systems, under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074), provides $468,934 to the University of Massachusetts Boston from April 1, 2023 through March 31, 2026. The funding will support research into collective timing decisions in schooling fish, with a focus on how leadership emerges and consensus is reached within groups. Specifically, the award will develop two tracking systems to...
This federal Project Grant award of $432,357 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research to understand how fishes have adapted to high-pressure environments in the deep ocean. The research aims to: Characterize patterns of genome evolution across 100 species of perciform fishes found at depths ranging from 0-8,000 meters. Measure structural changes in key biomolecules involved in metabolism, cell movement, and stress responses across...
The National Science Foundation Division of Integrative Organismal Systems awarded a $980,000 Project Grant to The Washington University to support research examining neuronal plasticity and the evolvability of behavior through September 2026. Funded under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), this award will allow researchers to test the hypothesis that activity-dependent wiring changes in response to altered sensory feedback drive coordinated modifications between peripheral organs...
This $329,099 federal Project Grant award was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CFDA 47.070) program. The grant aims to develop new computational models to uncover the functional architecture of the brain and its role in enabling complex behaviors like navigation and decision-making. Specifically, the project will: Identify the brain systems underlying navigation in zebrafish larvae using advanced optical imaging...
This $600,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) supports research at the University of Illinois at Chicago to address challenges in damaged neuron circuits by reprogramming the brain. The project aims to develop a new method to manipulate neural circuit development by transferring and replicating neural signals from one brain to another using zebrafish larvae as a model system. The long-term goal is to reconstruct maladaptive...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant, awarded under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program, provides $240,000 in funding for a postdoctoral research fellowship focused on investigating the behavioral and physiological mechanisms of buoyancy regulation in bony fishes. The 3-year fellowship, starting on July 1, 2025, will support research that aims to reveal fundamental information about how fishes maintain homeostasis and interact with their environment, as well as...
This $298,134 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will fund research exploring the role of environmental nitrite and nitric oxide in modulating olfactory function in goldfish. Principal investigator Texas State University will study how goldfish uptake nitrogenous compounds in their noses, how nitric oxide is generated to control neuronal activity even under low-oxygen conditions, and whether nitric oxide can be produced through...
