This Federal Project Grant award, with ID R01HD114777, was provided by the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865). The grant will support research at Cornell University to investigate how calcium triggers the transition from egg to embryo, which is a critical process for fertility and early embryonic development. The research aims to elucidate the mechanisms by which calcium activates enzymes that regulate the phosphorylation state of proteins in the oocyte, enabling the transition to an activated, totipotent state capable of embryonic development. The total funding amount is $335,955, with the award period running from December 9, 2024 to November 30, 2029. The findings from this research are expected to provide insights into the basis of some pre-implantation infertilities in humans and help assess the efficacy of in vitro fertilization (IVF) conditions.
