This federal Project Grant award of $364,448.00 from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) under the Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders (CFDA 93.853) focuses on investigating the neural functions of glycoprotein sialylation. The research aims to reveal sialylation-mediated mechanisms of glia-neuron coupling, elucidate the role of sialylation in promoting neuronal viability and resistance to oxidative stress, and characterize...
The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) awarded Brandeis University a $846,469 Project Grant under the Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders (CFDA 93.853) program. The goal of this 2-year project is to elucidate how the ESCRT (Endosomal Sorting Complex Required for Transport) machinery is regulated and deployed in neurons. The research aims to develop new visualization and manipulation tools to study ESCRT dynamics in...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), under their Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders (CFDA 93.853) program, will support the development of a synthetic biological system to manipulate subcellular RNAs and proteins in growth cones or synapses of subtype- and context-specific neurons. The $481,250 award to President and Fellows of Harvard College will enable the creation of tools for in vivo...
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, will support research to investigate the regulation of presynaptic gene transcripts during synaptogenesis. The $145,642 award to Albert Einstein College of Medicine, spanning September 1, 2024 to June 30, 2027, will leverage advanced imaging techniques and mass spectrometry to...
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 $127,145.00 to The Trustees of Princeton University for a research project focused on unraveling the regulatory mechanisms governing chromatin organization and gene transcription during neural development in the Drosophila model organism. The key objectives are to...
This federal Project Grant award of $161,922 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 supports research to investigate the spatiotemporal regulation of mRNA and its role in neuronal remodeling during morphogenesis. The primary research objectives are to: 1) Characterize the localization and motility of the chickadee (chic) mRNA transcript during neuronal...
This $145,642 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 will support research to investigate how patterns of synaptic connectivity between diverse neuron cell types in the Drosophila nervous system contribute to the spatial localization of tactile stimuli. The key products and services to be delivered include: 1) Mapping the...
This $1,174,913 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) federal grant program supports research to understand the fundamental mechanisms of homeostatic plasticity and its potential neuroprotective role in neurological and neurodevelopmental disorders. The grant aims to leverage genome-scale forward genetic screens in Drosophila and translate...
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 $235,887 to develop and apply a new chemical strategy for imaging neural synapses and circuit connectivity in post-mortem tissue samples, including potentially human brain specimens. The award, effective from April 1, 2025 to March 31, 2027, will enable the Research...
