This Project Grant award for $180,500.00 from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) Biomedical Research and Research Training Program (CFDA 93.859) supports research to investigate the genetic regulation and molecular mechanisms of sperm activation in the nematode C. elegans. The research aims to understand how spermatids transform into motile, fertilization-competent spermatozoa through post-transcriptional mechanisms, without requiring new transcription or protein...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (CFDA 93.865 - Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research) provides $243,750 to The Trustees of the University of Pennsylvania to study the maternal regulation of microtubules in egg developmental competency using the zebrafish model. The research aims to investigate the dynamics, etiology, and nature of spindle-like microtubule structures and vesicle-like structures in zebrafish...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD), under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865), provides $146,816 to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill to conduct research on defining the role of apoptosis (programmed cell death) in the function of the germline syncytium during oogenesis. The research aims to elucidate how apoptosis contributes to oocyte (egg cell) quality and fertility,...
This $335,955 federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865) supports research to understand the mechanisms by which calcium triggers the transition from a mature egg cell to an activated embryo capable of development. The award to Cornell University, which began on December 9, 2024 and runs through November 30, 2029, will fund investigations into the role...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD), under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865), provides $1,713,959.00 to Albert Einstein College of Medicine to conduct research on sperm chromatin structure and remodeling during spermiogenesis and fertilization. The research aims to provide a comprehensive biochemical and biological characterization of the factors that mediate the assembly and...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD), under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865), will provide $1,080,375 to the University of Massachusetts Medical School (UMass Medical) to conduct research on the role of maternal transcripts and RNA-binding proteins in reproductive fecundity. The primary objective is to comprehensively explore how fluctuating environmental factors, particularly...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) under CFDA 93.865 - Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program provides $658,633 to Wayne State University to conduct research on the mechanisms of the MEIG1 protein complex in mammalian spermiogenesis and fertilization. The key objectives are to: Dissect the motor-based protein complex in the manchette (a spermatid-specific structure) and study its role in sperm formation;...
This federal Project Grant award, valued at $418,194.00 and granted by the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865), supports research to uncover the developmental and molecular mechanisms underlying the establishment and maintenance of the ovarian follicle reserve. The research aims to better understand, diagnose, and potentially manage conditions like primary ovarian insufficiency and...
This Project Grant award, valued at $441,505.00, was awarded on August 16, 2024 by the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865). The award supports research at the University of Pittsburgh to uncover the molecular mechanisms by which zinc regulates mammalian sperm physiology, particularly with respect to sperm swimming and fertilization. The central objectives are to: 1) establish the...
This Project Grant award of $508,315.00 from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) Biomedical Research and Research Training Program (CFDA 93.859) supports research to uncover the molecular mechanisms required for successful developmental progression from oocyte to embryo during the period of transcriptional silence in mammals. The University of California, San Diego (UCSD) is the prime awardee and will investigate (i) the mechanisms driving global transcriptional...
