Project Grant 2503759
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant, under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), provides $240,000 in funding from February 1, 2024 to January 31, 2027 to support a postdoctoral research fellowship focused on investigating a novel circadian time-keeping mechanism revealed by environmental manipulation. The research plan aims to identify the location in the brain and the mechanism of a non-canonical clock that can rescue daily rhythms in mice with disrupted central clock...
- 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 $278,344 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083) supports a research project at Kansas State University (KSU) to investigate the role of heterochromatin in regulating fungal infection and evolution. The project aims to uncover the rules governing genome function in fungi, with the goal of generating new insights into how fungi live, adapt, and cause disease. Key activities include: Providing mentoring and training in...
- This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) under the Biomedical Research and Research Training program (CFDA 93.859) provides $361,454.00 in funding to the University of Massachusetts Boston to investigate the molecular mechanisms underlying circadian compensation in eukaryotic organisms. The overarching objectives are to: 1) define cellular effectors and metabolic variables that control circadian oscillations in fungi and test for...
- This National Science Foundation Project Grant award of $207,000 funds research into circadian rhythms in crickets from August 1, 2023 through July 31, 2026. The award is provided through the Biological Sciences program under the Biological Infrastructure division, with a CFDA number of 47.074. The fellowship will support integrative research investigating the interaction of genomes, environment and phenotypes in circadian rhythms, a fundamental biological process. Using the acoustic mating...
- This $318,075 National Science Foundation project grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will support research exploring circadian clocks in spider species. The awardee, The Pennsylvania State University, will collaborate with other institutions to understand the evolutionary origins and underlying mechanisms of extraordinary circadian clocks found in araneoid spiders. The research team will study changes in clock genes and circadian properties across spider species to...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Project Grant award of $700,000 to the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater will investigate the effects of circadian clock components on early muscle development in the frog Xenopus laevis. The principal investigator hypothesizes that two circadian clock components, BMAL1 and NR1D1, impact metabolism and gene expression during the specification of dorsal mesoderm, which gives rise to skeletal muscle. Proposed experiments...
- This federal Project Grant award of $382,755.00 from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS), under the Biomedical Research and Research Training program (CFDA 93.859), supports research to investigate the mechanisms underlying circadian gating of stress responses in plants. The project aims to leverage the Arabidopsis plant model and a combination of genetic, genomic, biochemical, and molecular biology approaches to identify key regulators involved in how the circadian...
- This three-year, $343,760 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will support research exploring circadian clocks in araneoid spiders. The awardee, Washington and Lee University, will lead a collaborative effort with other institutions to understand the evolutionary origins and underlying mechanisms of extraordinary circadian clocks found in certain spider species. Researchers will analyze changes in clock genes and properties across...
- The University of California, Davis was awarded a $1.1 million project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Molecular and Cellular Biosciences under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) federal grant program. The grant supports research investigating the relationship between the plant circadian clock and RNA processing pathways, and how these interactions impact fundamental cellular processes and the plant's ability to respond to environmental challenges. Specifically, the...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program provides $1,324,119.00 to the University of Georgia Research Foundation to conduct research on the "Collective Behavior of Oscillators in Fungal Filaments of Neurospora Crassa." The research aims to understand the synchronization of cellular clocks in the model fungal system, Neurospora crassa, by testing two scientific theories: (1) through a shared biochemical signal between cellular clocks, and (2) through a physical theory in which the random switching on and off of clock genes within a cell plays an essential role in synchronizing cellular clocks. The project will run from September 15, 2025 to August 31, 2028 and seeks to advance the understanding of the molecular origin of biological clocks, which could have broad implications for engineering timed therapeutics delivery, controlling agricultural pests, and studying carbon cycling in marine ecosystems.
