- This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), under the Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders (CFDA 93.853) program, will fund research at the University of Louisville to investigate the role of propriospinal neurons in spinal cord injury recovery. The $462,296 award, with a period of performance from June 3, 2025 to May 31, 2030, will enable the researchers to use advanced tools like virus-based...
- The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) awarded Kenyon College a Project Grant under the Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders (CFDA 93.853) program. The $454,424 grant, effective April 1, 2025 through March 31, 2028, aims to characterize the cellular and molecular mechanisms of Schwann cell demyelination and identify factors that promote peripheral remyelination using a novel larval zebrafish model. The project will test...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Project Grant award of $750,000.00 will investigate how the central nervous system of vertebrates produces coordinated leg movements. Specifically, the project will use the turtle spinal cord as a model system to pharmacologically perturb inhibitory and excitatory neurotransmitter receptors to understand how the spinal cord generates and selects appropriate motor outputs for swimming, scratching, and leg withdrawal...
- The National Science Foundation Division of Integrative Organismal Systems awarded a $980,000 Project Grant to The Washington University to support research examining neuronal plasticity and the evolvability of behavior through September 2026. Funded under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), this award will allow researchers to test the hypothesis that activity-dependent wiring changes in response to altered sensory feedback drive coordinated modifications between peripheral organs...
- This $420,334 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) is funding a collaborative research project led by the University of California, San Diego (UC San Diego) to develop flexible, minimally invasive microcoaxial electro-optical probes for studying neural circuits in the spinal cord. The goal is to create advanced probe technologies that can precisely target and measure activity in specific spinal neural circuits, enabling better...
- This Project Grant award of $100,272.00 from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) under the Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders (CFDA 93.853) supports research to understand how axon guidance is regulated in the mature nervous system. The research aims to identify molecular and cellular mechanisms that regulate axon regeneration and guidance, with a focus on using the Caenorhabditis elegans model system to study an...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $452,935 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to Hope College in Holland, Michigan. The grant supports research aimed at identifying key factors and mechanisms underlying the regeneration and functional recovery of the olfactory system in zebrafish, which exhibit a remarkable capacity for neural regeneration. The research objectives include characterizing the molecular and cellular processes driving olfactory system...
- 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...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083) provides $266,574 to Western Kentucky University (WKU) to investigate changes in spinal sensory networks associated with spinal cord regeneration in the larval sea lamprey. The award, which runs from February 1, 2026 to January 31, 2028, will fund a fellowship for an assistant professor and training for a graduate student at WKU, who will collaborate with researchers at the Marine Biological Laboratory. This work aims to quantify regeneration in spinal sensory neurons after a spinal cord injury and contribute to understanding how local spinal circuits respond to neural trauma and subsequent recovery. The project will also improve neuroscience research capacity for undergraduates at WKU by providing an intracellular electrophysiology rig to study the lamprey model.
