This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program provides $550,000 in funding to Brandeis University to conduct research on the temperature resilience of the feeding system in the nematode worm C. elegans. The project combines computational modeling and experimental analyses to define the neuronal and circuit principles that enable functional resilience to temperature changes. Key objectives include quantifying the effects of temperature...
This Project Grant award of $457,378 from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research led by Trustees of Dartmouth College on cognitive processes in the rodent hippocampus. The goal is to understand how brains learn from experiences and apply that knowledge to new situations, a key aspect of adaptability. The researchers are building a new experimental setup to precisely monitor mouse brain activity during cognitive learning tasks involving...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083) supports research to identify gene networks in the hypothalamus that are sensitive to early testosterone exposure and relate them to adult behavioral changes in house sparrows. The $400,000 award, spanning July 2025 to June 2030, will elucidate how maternal transfer of testosterone during egg development shapes offspring behavior and fitness. The research integrates behavioral...
This Project Grant award of $583,214 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will support research at Utah State University (USU) to investigate the behavioral, hormonal, and neural basis of coyote pair bonding. The project aims to provide a better understanding of the biological drivers of pair bonding and the impact of pair-mate loss in coyotes, which could lead to increased public compassion and support for non-lethal coyote management. Key...
