The $381,250 award, effective September 1, 2024 through August 31, 2029, will support research at the University of New Mexico Health Sciences Center (UNM HSC) to investigate the cellular mechanisms underlying the response to lysosomal damage. The research aims to establish the function of...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) under the Biomedical Research and Research Training Program (CFDA 93.859) provides $410,000.00 to The Trustees of Princeton University to develop advanced computational models to characterize the molecular structures and interactions within biomolecular condensates, with a focus on stress granules. The research aims to: 1) map the structures of RNA-binding proteins to stress granule properties, 2)...
The National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) awarded Central Michigan University a $443,315 Project Grant under the Biomedical Research and Research Training program (CFDA 93.859) with a start date of September 1, 2023 and an ultimate completion date of August 31, 2026. The goal of this research project is to characterize the impact of social status on oxidative stress patterns and regulation across the brain. The research will use the cichlid fish Astatotilapia burtoni as a...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) awarded a $268,647 project grant to the University of California San Diego (UCSD) Scripps Institution of Oceanography. The award, effective October 1, 2024 through July 31, 2026, will support collaborative research to discover the integrated genomic and physiological mechanisms that enable some species of killifish to exhibit extreme phenotypic plasticity and thrive in highly variable environments. The project will...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) under the Biomedical Research and Research Training program (CFDA 93.859) provides $420,000.00 in funding to the Albert Einstein College of Medicine to investigate the molecular mechanisms of stress-induced mitochondrial damage. The research aims to identify novel pathways of mitochondrial dysfunction beyond the previously understood mitochondrial permeability transition pore (MPTP) mechanism, leveraging a...
This three-year National Science Foundation project grant of $240,000 supports postdoctoral research fellowship training in biology through July 2026. The fellowship will fund integrative research investigating the rules of life governing interactions between genomes, environments, and phenotypes. The fellow will study the fish species Poecilia mexicana to address how tolerance to multiple environmental stressors, such as hydrogen sulfide and hypoxia, affects gene expression, physiological...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) Biomedical Research and Research Training program (CFDA 93.859) provides $445,873 to Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) to conduct research on the structure, function, and dynamics of non-canonical stress granules. The research aims to characterize the components of non-canonical stress granules induced by UV radiation, elucidate their relationship to apoptosis, and use them as a model to understand the...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program provides $272,914 to South Dakota State University (SDSU) to research the mechanisms that cells use to respond to stress. The research project, which runs from May 1, 2025 to April 30, 2028, aims to understand how cells interpret information related to stress and initiate appropriate responses. Specifically, the investigators will examine two key mechanisms: 1) post-transcriptional...
