Project Grant 2442924
- This Project Grant award of $580,000.00, provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), supports collaborative research at the University at Buffalo (UB) and University of Kentucky (UKY) to study how the neurochemical vasopressin regulates social behavior in various species. The research aims to advance the understanding of how the brain controls social behaviors and provide a framework for developing potential vasopressin treatments for social...
- The National Science Foundation awarded a $138,000 Project Grant to support research titled "The Social Brain: Behavioral, Neural, and Transcriptomic Modulation of the Brain" from July 1, 2021 to June 30, 2023. This funding was provided under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to promote progress in the biological sciences and increase understanding of major issues facing the nation. Over the two year period of performance in Columbia, Missouri, this award will allow the...
- This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $1,000,000 will fund research at Cornell University from March 2023 through February 2027 under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074). The award will support projects to disentangle the neural mechanisms underlying social behaviors and alternative mating tactics in vertebrates. Researchers will conduct studies in prairie voles, a socially monogamous species where males vary in sexual fidelity despite strong pair bonds. The work will...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences Federal Grant Program (CFDA 47.074) Project Grant award of $360,000 to the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) aims to uncover the role of neuron-to-neuron communication in the post-mitotic maturation of neurons during postnatal development. Utilizing the model organism Caenorhabditis elegans, the project will leverage advanced genetics, behavioral assays, microscopy, and genomics tools to examine the molecular and functional...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $253,890 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to Western University of Health Sciences to conduct research on sensory membrane proteins. The goal is to develop computational tools capable of realistic simulations of how these proteins respond to external stimuli like pressure, heat, and sound. The research project, titled "Collaborative Research: Ultra-Fast Simulations of Sensory Membrane Proteins with Validation...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (SBE) program (CFDA 47.075) provides $128,798 to Northern Kentucky University to conduct a longitudinal assessment of the impact of early life adversity on the development of social behavior in a non-human primate species. The study aims to contribute to the understanding of the evolution of the juvenile period and the proximate mechanisms underlying the relationship between early life...
- This Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences Program (CFDA 47.074) will support research to investigate the biochemical mechanisms that regulate receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) proteins and their impact on the development of brain circuits controlling social and emotional behaviors. The $600,000 award, spanning 2025-2027, will be conducted by Children's Hospital Los Angeles, a prominent pediatric academic medical center and research institution. The...
- This $421,587 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports a longitudinal study on the development of social integration in a non-human primate species. The research, led by the Research Foundation of the City University of New York (RFCUNY) at Hunter College, examines how early rearing environments and maternal social networks impact the origins and evolution of social bonds and an individual's position...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) federal Project Grant award of $273,024 to The University of the South (Sewanee) will support research examining how early competitive social interactions affect the development of the stress response in fish. The 3-year project, starting November 1, 2025, will manipulate competitive social interactions in genetically identical fish siblings to investigate the consequences on their behavioral and hormonal stress responses...
- Emory University will conduct research on the neural circuits that promote social cohesion in complex animal groups under a $1,265,579 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Integrative Organismal Systems. The grant falls under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), which supports basic research to advance understanding of biological systems. Specifically, Emory researchers will use chemogenetic and optogenetic techniques paired with social network analysis to...
This $449,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will fund collaborative research at the University of Kentucky Research Foundation to investigate how the neurochemical vasopressin regulates social behavior in various species. The research aims to advance the understanding of how the brain processes social stimuli and moderates social behaviors, which could inform the development of potential treatments for social development disorders like autism. The project will also establish an online behavioral neuroscience conference and facilitate a scientific exchange program between the University of Kentucky and University at Buffalo to provide educational and career-building opportunities for students. This 4-year award runs from August 1, 2025 to July 31, 2029.
