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...
This federal Project Grant award of $696,329.00 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 at Virginia Polytechnic Institute & State University (Virginia Tech) to study sub-second catecholamine dynamics underlying food reward in humans. The goal is to provide a framework for translating and extending mechanistic studies of...
This $249,000 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) supports research to understand how hunger and satiety neurotransmitters regulate cAMP signaling in downstream neurons involved in feeding behavior. The research aims to: 1) Image cAMP dynamics in paraventricular hypothalamic neurons during feeding-induced peptide release, 2) Measure how...
The National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK), under the Diabetes, Digestive, and Kidney Diseases Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.847), awarded a $663,097 Project Grant to Merrimack College to evaluate the impact of the updated federal nutrition standards for school meals in the United States.

This Project Grant award of $427,000.00 from the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) under CFDA 93.847 - Diabetes, Digestive, and Kidney Diseases Extramural Research, supports research at Williams College on the role of the parasubthalamic nucleus (PSTN) in regulating feeding behavior. The research aims to study the PSTN's afferent connectivity, activity patterns, and necessity in mediating appetite suppression. Specific objectives include determining sources...
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 $695,295.00 to study the developmental trajectories of reinforcer pathology and childhood obesity. The project will assess how the reinforcing value of food and physical activity, as well as delay discounting, change throughout childhood and adolescence, and how these...
This $499,761 federal Project Grant award, 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), supports research conducted by the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in Bronx, NY. The award aims to define the connectivity between hypothalamic melanocortin peptide-expressing neurons and melanocortin 4 receptor (MC4R)-expressing neurons in the medial prefrontal...
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) will provide $642,343 to American University to conduct research on the effects of federal funding for obesity prevention programs on weight-related health behaviors, obesity prevalence, and obesity-related chronic conditions.
