The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) awarded the University of Missouri at Kansas City a Project Grant of $137,687 on March 9, 2026, under the Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders (CFDA 93.853) program. This research award supports a two-year investigation into gene-regulatory mechanisms governing neuronal circuit formation in the fruit fly (Drosophila) ventral nerve cord, with research performance extending through February 28, 2028. The project aims to elucidate how neuronal identity influences circuit connectivity and function, focusing on the jump circuit—a conserved neural pathway critical for escape behavior. The grant funds three research aims under a career development structure combining mentored (K99) and independent (R00) phases. The project will deliver a comprehensive synapse-resolution map of the jump circuit, establish connections between neuronal identity genes and connectivity patterns using genetic manipulation and advanced imaging techniques, and investigate epigenetic regulation of neuronal identity during circuit assembly. Research activities include collaboration with external technical experts and the principal investigator's mentorship at UMKC, with outcomes intended to advance fundamental understanding of how genetic and epigenetic mechanisms control precise neural circuit assembly during development.Federal Grant Award Summary
