- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program awarded a $124,997 project grant to the University of Massachusetts Boston from October 1, 2023 to September 30, 2025. The grant supports the development of a multimodal machine learning method to simultaneously analyze electroencephalogram (EEG) data and animal behavior data to study group behavior, particularly sleep patterns. The project aims to create a "dictionary" of animal movements and behaviors and incorporate...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $1,000,000 in funding to Tufts University to study how a factor secreted from muscle regulates levels of neurotransmitter receptors in neurons that control movement in the roundworm Caenorhabditis elegans. The research aims to advance scientific understanding of how muscle releases factors that signal to the brain to control communication between neurons, which may provide...
- This $399,131 Project Grant was awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program. The grant aims to develop a "STRESSCURE: A Course-Based Undergraduate Research Experience Toolkit" for creating laboratory courses that investigate biological stress in the roundworm Caenorhabditis elegans. The project seeks to increase student participation in undergraduate research experiences and enhance student resilience and self-driven learning in...
- This $850,000 Project Grant award, funded jointly by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Integrative Organismal Systems and Division of Information and Intelligent Systems under CFDA 47.070 Computer and Information Science and Engineering, supports research to understand how sleep and memory are connected in the brain. The project will use long-duration, high-resolution recordings of neuronal activity to observe changes in synaptic connections during sleep and memory tasks,...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $501,772 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to the University of Missouri System (doing business as Missouri University of Science & Technology) for a 3-year research project from June 2024 to May 2027. The project aims to understand how pheromone signaling and the dauer diapause stage of the model organism Caenorhabditis elegans influence population dynamics under varying environmental conditions. Specifically,...
- 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...
- This $324,751 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program supports research at Western Washington University (WWU) to investigate how neural circuits integrate and reconcile opposing sensory signals to drive behavioral responses in the nematode C. elegans. The project aims to utilize advanced genetic and microscopy techniques to visualize neural activity and identify the cellular mechanisms involved in this signal integration and learning process. Key...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Federal Grant Program has awarded a 4-year, $366,378 Project Grant to the Trustees of Indiana University to conduct research on the neuronal basis of sexual dimorphism in the circadian system of the fruit fly Drosophila. The project aims to elucidate how differences in the architecture of the Drosophila circadian system underlie sex differences in sleep/wake cycles and timekeeping robustness. The research will leverage...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $163,595 to Barnard College to research how glial cells in the fruit fly nervous system regulate neuronal homeostasis in response to environmental stress. The project will use genetic tools in Drosophila melanogaster to elucidate novel mechanisms for how glia and neurons interact to enable survival in fluctuating environments. The work will be integrated with inclusive educational...
