Key focus...
- This Project Grant award, funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), supports research at Brown University to investigate the evolutionary mechanisms underlying the diversity of life on Earth. The research focuses on analyzing changes in the developmental programs of echinoderms, such as sea urchins and sea stars, to understand how unique cell types like micromeres evolved and their potential role in species divergence. The $1,337,703 award...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $668,572 in funding to Northeastern University to conduct research on the molecular and biophysical mechanisms underlying contractile valve assembly and function. The research aims to characterize the inner structure and regulatory mechanisms of a donut-shaped contractile valve in the reproductive system of the nematode C. elegans, using advanced microscopy, genetic perturbations,...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Federal Grant Program has awarded a $1,039,048 Project Grant to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC-CH) for the project "CAREER: Stress, Recovery, Regeneration, and Resilience in Reproduction". The project will use a short-lived worm model organism to investigate how animal cells and organs respond to starvation at different ages, and how those responses affect the animal's ability to reproduce...
- This federal Project Grant award, totaling $635,938.00, was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074). The award will fund research examining how increasing environmental variability impacts fitness trade-offs across complex life cycles, focusing on a salamander species in New Hampshire. Key objectives include studying how timing of metamorphosis affects juvenile and adult traits, survival, and population dynamics. Additionally, the research will...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) awarded a $550,000 Project Grant to The Trustees of Smith College for the research project "RUI: HEDGEHOG DEPENDENT CRANIAL NEURAL CREST CELLS PATTERN THE ZEBRAFISH FOREBRAIN." The grant will support a 3-year research effort to investigate the role of neural crest cells in the development of the vertebrate forebrain, using the zebrafish model system. The research will employ advanced microscopy techniques...
- The Regents of the University of California at Riverside received a $1.56M Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Integrative Organismal Systems. The award is part of the NSF's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) and will fund research from September 2021 through August 2025 to decipher the robustness mechanisms of the stem promoting transcription factor gradient. The Biological Sciences program aims to advance the field and strengthen the national...
- This $1,000,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will fund an integrated research and educational project at Boston College. The project, titled "CAREER: Discovering the Interplay Between Polyploidy and Innate Immunity," aims to yield fundamental knowledge on how wound healing is regulated by cell growth and its contribution to an animal's defense against infection. The project will train graduate and undergraduate...
- Brown University was awarded a $947,500 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Integrative Organismal Systems. The grant falls under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), which aims to promote progress in the biological sciences and strengthen the Nation's scientific enterprise through increasing scientific knowledge and enhancing understanding of major problems confronting the Nation. Specifically, the three-year grant will fund research from January 2021 to...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Project Grant award of $500,000.00 to the University of Mississippi aims to investigate the robustness mechanisms that enable normal organ formation, specifically focusing on the heart, despite genetic variations and environmental changes. The 5-year project from 9/15/2025 to 8/31/2030 will utilize the zebrafish embryonic model system to observe inter-tissue communication and organ development in real-time. The research seeks to elucidate fundamental principles of organ formation and increase undergraduate participation in this research through courses and research experiences. Key outcomes will include a better understanding of how birth defects arise and potential remedies, as well as advancing scientific knowledge and education in the biological sciences.
