The National Science Foundation (NSF) Office of Integrative Activities awarded Washington University in St. Louis $750,914 under the Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083) to acquire a two-photon microscope system dedicated to non-human primate neuroscience research. The award, effective February 1, 2026 through January 31, 2029, funds the acquisition and deployment of advanced imaging instrumentation that will enable researchers to study large populations of brain cells at high spatial resolution during complex cognitive tasks. This multiphoton microscope will be the only instrument of its kind dedicated to this research application in Missouri and surrounding states, providing complementary advantages to existing imaging technologies for understanding primate-specific brain specializations underlying human cognition. The microscope will serve as a shared research resource with broad accessibility, supporting cutting-edge neuroscience projects across the university's research portfolio while democratizing access to imaging data through open-access repositories and collaborative partnerships with external researchers. The equipment will be integrated into undergraduate and graduate educational activities and has potential for commercialization of research discoveries. No sub-awards are planned under this project grant.Federal Grant Award Summary
