- The National Science Foundation Division of Molecular and Cellular Biosciences awarded The Marine Biological Laboratory $954,519 on August 1, 2026, for collaborative research on the molecular and neural mechanisms controlling circatidal rhythms in Parhyale hawaiensis under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074). The research identifies genes encoding the circatidal clock—an internal ~12.4-hour timekeeper marine animals use to anticipate and adapt to tidal cycles—and characterizes the...
- This three-year Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $778,435 to the University of Massachusetts Medical School to investigate the mechanisms underlying circatidal rhythms in the coastal crustacean Parhyale hawaiensis. The researchers will work to elucidate the fundamental properties and molecular underpinnings of circatidal clocks, which allow organisms to anticipate tidal changes similar to circadian clocks and daily...
- This three-year, $627,543 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will support research at the Marine Biological Laboratory to elucidate the mechanisms underlying circatidal rhythms in the coastal crustacean Parhyale hawaiensis. The researchers will investigate how P. hawaiensis uses environmental cues like water levels and turbulence to synchronize its behavior with tidal cycles. They will identify genes controlling the organism's...
- The National Science Foundation Division of Molecular and Cellular Biosciences awarded the University of Massachusetts Boston $440,000 on July 1, 2026, under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to investigate mRNA regulation mechanisms that control neuronal function across distant animal species, particularly ctenophores that diverged from other animals over 800 million years ago. The research team will examine whether mechanisms regulating protein generation from specific mRNAs in...
- This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Integrative Organismal Systems, under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074), provides $468,934 to the University of Massachusetts Boston from April 1, 2023 through March 31, 2026. The funding will support research into collective timing decisions in schooling fish, with a focus on how leadership emerges and consensus is reached within groups. Specifically, the award will develop two tracking systems to...
- The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke awarded the University of Massachusetts Medical School $460,625 on August 1, 2026, under the Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders program (CFDA 93.853) to investigate time-dependent membrane proteomics in circadian pacemaker neurons. The recipient will use cutting-edge proteomic approaches combined with biotin proximity labeling to survey the membrane proteome of circadian neurons during the...
- The National Science Foundation Division of Integrative Organismal Systems awarded a $1.14 million Project Grant to The Marine Biological Laboratory in Woods Hole, Falmouth, Massachusetts. The grant is part of the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) and will fund research from August 2021 through July 2024 to examine temperature acclimation through RNA editing. As part of the Biological Sciences program's goal to strengthen the Nation's biological research enterprise, this Project Grant...
- The National Science Foundation Division of Molecular and Cellular Biosciences awarded $880,000 to the University of Massachusetts Lowell on June 1, 2026, under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to investigate how transgenerational chromatin landscapes regulate gene expression and cell fate in Caenorhabditis elegans. The research examines epigenetic inheritance—how heritable modifications to histone proteins and chromatin structure encode environmental stress and can persist across...
- Federal Project Grant Award Summary The University of Massachusetts Medical School (UMMS) received a $1.1 million CAREER award from the National Science Foundation's Division of Molecular and Cellular Biosciences under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to support fundamental research on novel bacterial immune systems for genome editing applications. Awarded August 1, 2025, with a completion date of July 31, 2030, this project will deliver scientific research outputs including...
- The National Science Foundation Division of Molecular and Cellular Biosciences awarded Brandeis University $370,052 on August 1, 2026, under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to investigate how intrinsically disordered regions in proteins regulate the search and binding of heterochromatin-associated proteins in living cells. The research aims to determine how dynamic recruitment and retention of histone H3 lysine 9 methylation-binding proteins establish stable and heritable gene...
