- This $470,594 Project Grant was awarded on April 24, 2025 by the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) under the Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders (CFDA 93.853) federal grant program. The goal of the research project is to identify the cell types and synaptic pathways that encode memories used for learning vocalizations, and to map the synaptic plasticity mechanisms underlying the formation of these memories in the brain. The...
- This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), under the Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders (CFDA 93.853) program, provides $147,486 to The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York to investigate the neural computations underlying social evaluation in female songbirds. The award, with a completion date of September 30, 2026, will support research to understand how the female...
- This Project Grant award, valued at $2,050,000.00 and funded by the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) under CFDA 93.859 Biomedical Research and Research Training, supports research to decipher the sexually dimorphic neural substrates governing aggression in female Drosophila melanogaster (fruit flies). The research aims to elucidate the neural mechanisms encoding sex-specific primal behaviors, investigate the modulatory effects of stress and peptides on female aggression,...
- This $270,434 federal Project Grant award, funded by the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) under the Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders (CFDA 93.853) program, supports research to investigate the mechanistic link between spatiotemporal regulation of mRNA and neuronal remodeling during morphogenesis. The principal investigator will use Drosophila mushroom body and dendritic arborization neurons as models to study the...
- This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation will fund $321,072 in research at the Reed Institute under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) from March 2022 through February 2025. The research aims to investigate the evolutionary and biological basis of physical and behavioral traits that are sex-biased toward male or female expression across multiple levels of biological organization. Researchers will study global hormone levels, metabolic enzymes, hormone...
- This $536,617 federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) under the Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders (CFDA 93.853) will support research conducted by Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) to understand the mechanisms of adult neural regeneration using planarian and zebrafish model organisms. The research aims to elucidate how adult stem cells can generate the appropriate diversity of...
- This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (CFDA 93.242 - Mental Health Research Grants) provides $431,750.00 to investigate the molecular mechanisms behind the sex-specific deficits observed in neurodevelopmental disorders like autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The research, conducted by Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, utilizes mouse models to study how hormones and sex-specific signaling interact to drive behavioral deficits in males but not females. The...
- The National Science Foundation awarded a $138,000 Project Grant to support research under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) from July 1, 2021 to June 30, 2023. The grant funds postdoctoral research examining the neural integration of acoustic signals across reproductive states in female birds. Consistent with the program's goal of advancing the biological sciences, this award will enhance understanding of how the brain processes sounds differently during breeding...
- This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD), under the federal grant program "Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders" (CFDA 93.173), provides $392,040 to Colorado State University to conduct research on how hormones affect the development and activation of neural circuits that drive auditory processing. The research will combine molecular and electrophysiological approaches to examine the mechanisms...
- This Project Grant award was provided by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Federal Grant Program. The grant, awarded on September 15, 2025, totals $611,195.00 and aims to investigate how neuronal circuits in the brain influence mating behaviors and contribute to the formation of new species (speciation) in upland chorus frogs. The research project, conducted by the University of Utah, will explore the relationship between auditory neural circuits and...
This $559,886 federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (CFDA 93.853) supports research by Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) to investigate the molecular and neuronal basis for sexual dimorphism in a vocal-motor control circuitry. The research aims to define how hormonal and genetic factors modulate neurodevelopment, in order to better understand the origins of sex differences in brain function and behavior, address sex biases in neurological and psychiatric disorders, and develop effective treatments for disorders of sex development and gender-affirming hormone replacement therapies. The project will use the zebra finch robust arcopallial (RA) nucleus, which exhibits extreme sexual dimorphism, to study how hormonal and sex-linked genetic factors mediate sex differences in cortical circuits underlying complex behaviors relevant to human cognition. The award will fund this 5-year research project from July 2025 through June 2030.
