This $704,695 federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) under the Environmental Health (CFDA 93.113) program supports research to determine the dose-response relationship between exposure to aerosolized brevetoxins from harmful algal blooms and neurological symptoms in humans. The primary awardee, The Roskamp Institute, Inc., a non-profit biotechnology research organization in Sarasota, Florida, will conduct this research project from...
The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) awarded a $153,851 Project Grant under the Environmental Health (CFDA 93.113) federal grant program to Florida Gulf Coast University (FGCU) for a 2-year research project titled "Diagnostic Biomarkers of Red Tide (Karenia brevis) Exposure in the Florida Manatee and Sea Turtles by Plasma Proteomics as a Model for Human Exposure." The research aims to identify and characterize protein alterations in the plasma of manatees and...
This $445,000 Project Grant award from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) under the Biomedical Research and Research Training Program (CFDA 93.859) supports innovative computational research to investigate the structural basis and allosteric mechanisms governing G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) function and coupling selectivity to G proteins. The key research projects include: Dissecting the structural role of the GPCR intracellular loop 3 (ICL3) in regulating GPCR-G...
This National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) Project Grant award under the Environmental Health (CFDA 93.113) program provides $225,000 in funding to the University of South Florida to conduct the first population-based study investigating the health impacts of residential brevetoxin exposures among children aged 0-18 in southwest Florida. The project, titled "Brevetoxins and Emergency Encounters Among Children (BEECH)," will spatiotemporally link data on...
This Project Grant award for $415,000 from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) under the Biomedical Research and Research Training Program (CFDA 93.859) will fund research to elucidate the structure and function of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) and their complex signaling capabilities. The research aims to bridge gaps in the understanding of GPCR functionality, exploring their ability to activate a wide range of G proteins across different subfamilies. By combining...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Integrative Organismal Systems provides $1.6 million to support research under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) from August 2021 through July 2024. The grant funds the development of new molecular genetic tools by the J. Craig Venter Institute to define phenotypes in the diatom Pseudo-nitzschia, which can cause harmful algal blooms. Two subawards totaling $100,000 each were provided to the University of...
The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) awarded a $200,230 Project Grant under the Environmental Health (CFDA 93.113) program to the University of South Carolina to research the atmospheric transformation and pulmonary toxicity of harmful cyanobacterial algae blooms. The project aims to utilize an environmental chamber to produce and characterize atmospherically transformed aerosols of cyanobacteria, which will then be applied to human lung cell cultures to evaluate their...
The National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) awarded Boston University Medical Campus a $694,875 Project Grant under the Biomedical Research and Research Training program (CFDA 93.859). The grant will support research to understand the molecular mechanisms that impart plasticity to G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) and G protein signaling, which has broad implications for biology and medicine. The research will focus on two main areas: 1) defining the physiological implications...
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration awarded a $4 million cooperative agreement to Florida International University on September 1, 2022 through the Congressionally Identified Awards and Projects program (CFDA 11.469) to establish a monitoring network and database capturing the biological and biochemical diversity of phytoplankton and water quality measurements in Biscayne Bay, Florida. As part of a larger effort, Florida International University will provide 80 water samples...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program provides $1,013,589 to the University of Florida to study the environmental induction of a novel cell type, the amoebocyte, in the upside-down jellyfish Cassiopea xamachana and to investigate the molecular mechanisms behind the establishment of stable photosymbiosis between the host and photosynthetic dinoflagellate algae. The research aims to gain insights into how novel cell...
