Project Grant R21DC022726
- This $702,560 federal Project Grant awarded by the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD) under the Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders program (CFDA 93.173) aims to investigate the molecular and genetic mechanisms underlying invertebrate sugar detection. The project, led by researchers at Brandeis University, will use structural, functional, and genetic analyses to probe the mechanisms that control ligand sensitivity and specificity in...
- This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD) under the federal Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders program (CFDA 93.173) will support research to characterize the development of retronasal smell perception and its relationship to body mass index (BMI) in young children ages 4-6 years old. The $147,486 award, provided to Wake Forest University Health Sciences, will fund a 2.5-year study focused on understanding the...
- This Project Grant award, funded by the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD) under the Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders program (CFDA 93.173), supports scientific research to investigate the interactions between the gustatory thalamus and gustatory cortex in the neural processing of taste perception and behavior. The $413,123 award, with a project period from September 19, 2024 to August 31, 2026, will be performed by Brandeis...
- This Project Grant award of $451,000.00, provided by the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD) under the Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders program (CFDA 93.173), supports scientific research to investigate sex differences and circadian influences on olfactory behavior and neurophysiology in rats. The research aims to improve understanding of how biological factors and environmental cues affect olfactory system function, which is...
- This federal Project Grant award of $650,049, provided by the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD) under the Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders program (CFDA 93.173), supports research aimed at understanding the neural basis of olfactory sensation. The project, conducted by researchers at Duke University, investigates the structural determinants and in vivo function of three mouse odorant receptors, including how receptor activation...
- This federal Project Grant award of $688,796 was provided by the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD) under the Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders program (CFDA 93.173). The grant supports research focused on understanding how the olfactory (smell) system transforms odor information into perception, with the goal of characterizing the serial transformation of odor representations from receptors to the cortex. The project aims to provide...
- 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...
- This federal Project Grant award of $2,432,740.00 was provided by the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD) under the Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders program (CFDA 93.173). The award supports a research project to investigate the neural mechanisms underlying the restructuring of olfactory representations in the Drosophila mushroom body. The project aims to understand the principles and neural mechanisms by which the olfactory code is...
- This federal Project Grant award of $194,375 from the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (CFDA 93.173 - Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders) supports research to investigate the cellular and molecular basis for how insects, specifically fruit flies, detect and respond to high osmolality in food. The project aims to define the role of osmolality in modulating feeding behavior in fruit flies, and to identify the specific gustatory neurons and...
- 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...
The federal Project Grant award of $434,558.00 from the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD) under the Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders program (CFDA 93.173) is supporting research to investigate the neural mechanisms underlying obesity-induced changes in taste function. The primary goal is to determine how obesity impacts the brainstem neurons that convey taste information, examining obesity-dependent changes at the circuit, cellular, and molecular levels. This research aims to reveal potential therapeutic interventions to disrupt the self-perpetuating cycle of overconsumption in obesity. The award was granted to Northwestern University, a prominent private research institution, and the project will be conducted from September 2025 through August 2027.
