- This two-year, $1,204,512 National Science Foundation project grant supports research into the robustness and adaptability of the dynamic epigenome through a multiscale approach. Funded under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), the award to Brandeis University involves investigating the fundamental rules that guide adaptive epigenetic changes in cells without alterations to the genetic blueprint. The research utilizes high-resolution imaging, microfluidics, and automated culture...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $160,000 Social, Behavioral and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) Postdoctoral Research Fellowship (SPRF) grant to an early career scientist for a 2-year project investigating the effects of early life adversity on DNA methylation and gene regulation in rhesus macaques. The goal is to provide a comprehensive systems-wide characterization of how early life adversity impacts DNA methylation patterns across primate physiology, and to assess the...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075) provides $648,655 in funding to Miami University to investigate how childhood experiences, such as maltreatment and parenting quality, predict daily emotional reactivity to stress in adulthood. The research aims to inform the design of interventions to help people respond constructively to daily stress. The project builds on the long-running Minnesota Longitudinal...
- This National Science Foundation project grant award of $240,000 provides funding from July 1, 2024 through June 30, 2027 to support research investigating methylation and microbes as moderators of genotype-by-environment interactions. The award is made under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to promote progress in the biological sciences. The fellow will conduct integrative research using a grasshopper system to study how epigenetic changes to DNA structure and symbiotic...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF), under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program, provides $138,849 to the University of North Texas Health Science Center (UNTHSC) to conduct collaborative research on human population genetics and mobility patterns over a period of approximately 3 years. The key objectives of the research project are to: 1) evaluate genomic variation and population dynamics, 2) investigate changes in mobility...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will fund a postdoctoral research fellowship focused on inferring genetic admixture histories via mechanistic modeling in structured ancestral populations. The $240,000 award, effective September 1, 2024 through August 31, 2027, will support the fellow's research to develop a method for understanding the genealogical history of genetically admixed populations, with a focus on...
- This $1,000,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research at Indiana University to investigate the role of epigenetic mechanisms in regulating gene expression programs during the development of the cerebral cortex in mammals. The project aims to elucidate how specific histone modifications influence neurogenesis and cell fate specification, with the goal of enhancing fundamental understanding of mammalian, including...
- This federal Project Grant award of $245,753.00 by the National Science Foundation's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075) supports research into the translation of scientific research, specifically human genomic analysis, into a medical tool for newborn genomic screening. The project investigates the scientific research, biotechnology actors, and other interested parties driving this development, as well as its effects on patients, healthcare systems, and society....
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $336,902 Project Grant under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program to George Mason University (GMU). The grant supports a collaborative research project that uses genomic and isotopic methods to reconstruct long-term population histories and evaluate changes in mobility patterns over a 3,000-year period. The key objectives are to: 1) evaluate genomic variation and population dynamics, 2) investigate changes in mobility...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program provides $200,000 in funding to the University of Cincinnati to conduct a study on the impact of lifestyle changes on the human epigenome. The study aims to understand how rapid lifestyle changes can lead to a gene-environment mismatch and how epigenetic modifications can provide a more rapid adaptive response. The research involves collecting and analyzing gene expression data, assessing genome-wide methylation differences, and estimating biological aging in individuals with shared ancestry who have and have not undergone significant lifestyle changes. The study builds on existing collaborations and provides training opportunities for students. The award period is from September 1, 2025 to August 31, 2028.
