- This Project Grant award of $419,379.00 was provided by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) federal grant program. The award will support research at Bryn Mawr College to investigate the neural mechanisms underlying stable flight in insects. Specifically, the project will characterize the sensory signals that convey information about wing bending during flight and how these signals are used to guide flight behaviors. The research will involve experiments...
- This Project Grant award of $502,563.00 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program to Villanova University supports a research project investigating how larval neurons in the Drosophila fruit fly are reprogrammed to enable stage-appropriate adult behaviors. The project will leverage Drosophila as a model system to study the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying the transformation of juvenile neurons into circuits that support adult-specific...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award of $240,000 under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will fund a postdoctoral fellowship at Raleigh, NC to study the neural control of acoustic duetting in fruit flies. The research aims to investigate how the brain evolves to generate new mating behaviors, such as female flies singing back to males during courtship. The project will leverage the fruit fly as a model organism to understand the neural circuitry that coordinates...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) awarded a $800,000 Project Grant to the University of Houston System to study the molecular signals required for the formation of glial cells during the development of the nervous system in the African clawed frog (Xenopus laevis). The 3-year project, running from October 1, 2024 to September 30, 2027, will investigate transcriptional regulatory mechanisms underlying glial development, with a focus on the role of...
- 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 Project Grant award, titled "BIO-AI: DENDRITIC DEMOCRACY IN DROSOPHILA CONNECTOMES", is funded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Federal Grant Program. The $1,068,160 award supports a 5-year research project at Drexel University to investigate whether neurons in the fruit fly (Drosophila melanogaster) brain use a "dendritic democracy" approach to process information. The goal is to better understand how neural networks...
- This National Science Foundation Project Grant award of $240,000 supports research under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) from December 1, 2023 through November 30, 2025. The award funds an NSF Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Biology to develop a comprehensive mathematical model of multisensory integration inspired by insect brain function. The fellow will leverage tools from nonlinear dynamical systems to model how insects combine distinct sensory cues like...
- This Project Grant award of $1,140,828 was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York, effective August 1, 2024. The purpose of the award is to generate novel network analysis tools to elucidate the functional logic of 3D vision circuits in the Drosophila (fruit fly) brain. The project aims to shed light on the relationship between microsaccades (small-scale eye movements) and 3D...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) Project Grant award of $240,000 provides funding for a postdoctoral research fellowship from July 1, 2024 to June 30, 2027. The fellowship will support research and training to investigate the rules governing interactions between genomes, environment, and phenotypes, with a focus on understanding how repetitive DNA sequences, particularly a satellite repeat on the X chromosome of Drosophila melanogaster, influence...
- This $660,000 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research at the University of Southern California (USC) on how RNA editing regulates synaptic plasticity and behavioral adaptations in the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster. The project aims to investigate how RNA editing of glutamate-gated chloride and voltage-gated calcium channels impacts neural circuit function, synaptic plasticity, and organismal behaviors....
