Project Grant R01DK140665
- This $2,560,698 federal Project Grant award was provided by the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) under the Diabetes, Digestive, and Kidney Diseases Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.847). The grant supports research to investigate the mechanisms by which animals learn about the nutrient content of foods and the neural pathways involved, with a particular focus on the lateralization of dopamine release in the brain. The research aims to reveal how...
- This Project Grant award, totaling $502,233, was provided by the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) under the Diabetes, Digestive, and Kidney Diseases Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.847). The grant supports research conducted by the Regents of the University of Michigan to investigate neuron populations in the nucleus of the solitary tract (NTS) that mediate the aversive and non-aversive suppression of food intake. The research aims to further...
- This Project Grant award, valued at $747,133.00, was provided by the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) under the Diabetes, Digestive, and Kidney Diseases Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.847). The grant supports research by the Monell Chemical Senses Center to behaviorally, physiologically, anatomically, and molecularly characterize a population of neurons in the nucleus tractus solitarius (NTS) that express glucagon-like peptide-1 receptors (GLP1R) and...
- The $441,000 Project Grant awarded by the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) under the Diabetes, Digestive, and Kidney Diseases Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.847) will support research by the CAL Poly Pomona Foundation Inc. to identify a dopamine circuit in the brain that mediates day eating and diet-induced obesity in mice. The 3-year project seeks to genetically and anatomically define a subpopulation of dopaminergic neurons in the ventral tegmental...
- The National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK), through its Diabetes, Digestive, and Kidney Diseases Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.847), awarded a $696,329 Project Grant to Virginia Polytechnic Institute & State University (Virginia Tech) to conduct research on "Sub-Second Catecholamine Dynamics Underlying Food Reward in Humans". The goal of this research is to provide a framework for translating and extending mechanistic studies of food...
- This federal Project Grant award in the amount of $427,000 was provided by the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) under the Diabetes, Digestive, and Kidney Diseases Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.847) to President & Trustees of Williams College. The award is funding a research project to study the role of the parasubthalamic nucleus (PSTN) in regulating feeding behavior and appetite suppression. The key objectives are to determine the afferent...
- This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK), under the Diabetes, Digestive, and Kidney Diseases Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.847), provides $1,074,199 to the Albert Einstein College of Medicine to conduct research on the top-down regulation of feeding-related behavior. The research aims to define the connectivity between hypothalamus melanocortin peptide expressing neurons and melanocortin 4 receptor (MC4R)-expressing neurons...
- This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK), under the Diabetes, Digestive, and Kidney Diseases Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.847), provides $148,614 to the University of Southern California (USC) for research on "Hippocampal Dopamine Signaling and Food-Related Memory: Implications for Obesity". The award aims to investigate how dopamine signaling in the hippocampus, a brain region associated with memory, may...
- This federal Project Grant award for $731,850.00 was provided by the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) under the Diabetes, Digestive, and Kidney Diseases Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.847). The grant supports research to investigate the brain-adipose axis mechanisms that drive the health benefits of time-restricted feeding, with a focus on understanding the role of the circadian SCNAVPADMH neurocircuit in regulating energy expenditure rhythms. The...
- This Project Grant award of $249,000.00 from the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (CFDA 93.847) to New York University aims to improve understanding of how hunger and satiety neurons regulate the activity of downstream neurons in the hypothalamus. Specifically, the research will use novel molecular and optical tools to measure and manipulate cyclic AMP (cAMP) signaling in paraventricular hypothalamic neurons that express melanocortin-4 receptors (PVHMC4R), which...
This Project Grant award of $666,229 from the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (CFDA 93.847 - Diabetes, Digestive, and Kidney Diseases Extramural Research) supports research on the role of the neuropeptide neurotensin (NTS) in the lateral nucleus accumbens (NACLat) to ventral tegmental area (VTA) pathway and its impact on hedonic feeding behavior. The project aims to study how NTS signaling in this neural pathway modulates reward-related feeding in mice, both on regular chow and high-fat diets, to gain insights into the neurobiological mechanisms underlying maladaptive food consumption behaviors. The award was made to the University of California, Berkeley, which will conduct the research over a 5-year period from September 2025 to June 2030.
