This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083) supports research to identify gene networks in the hypothalamus that are sensitive to early testosterone exposure and relate them to adult behavioral changes in house sparrows. The $400,000 award, spanning July 2025 to June 2030, will elucidate how maternal transfer of testosterone during egg development shapes offspring behavior and fitness. The research integrates behavioral...
This $718,662 Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242), supports research to characterize the genetic regulation of alternative polyadenylation (APA) in the developing human brain and its contribution to neuropsychiatric disorders like autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and schizophrenia (SCZ). The project aims to generate a comprehensive atlas of APA regulation across neurodevelopment, leveraging data from...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) Project Grant award of $240,000 provides funding for a postdoctoral research fellowship investigating the rules of life governing interactions between genomes, environment, and phenotypes in the Argentine ant (Linepithema humile), an invasive species with significant negative impacts on native ecosystems and agriculture. The key products and services to be delivered under this award include: Empirical testing of the...
This $502,986 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Emerging Frontiers will fund research at Austin Peay State University under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) to identify genes in mothers of the burying beetle Nicrophorus orbicollis that cause variation in offspring traits linked to fitness. The research aims to study indirect genetic effects, known as social influences, which are theorized to play important roles in phenotypic evolution...
This Project Grant award for $497,652 from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) will support research conducted by Children's Research Institute to investigate the role of the FOXP2 gene in the development of social circuitry and behavior in the amygdala during adolescence. The research aims to use CRISPR-Cas gene editing techniques to delete the FOXP2 gene in the medial amygdala of male and female mice during adolescence....
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242), provides $816,063 to The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York to conduct research on the neural mechanisms underlying how social stimuli elicit motivated behavior. The key focus of the research is to understand how neural representations of social rank information, such as dominant and submissive social cues, converge onto brain...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) under the Environmental Health (CFDA 93.113) program provides $421,047 to the University of Toledo to study the interaction between genetic and environmental risk factors for autism and other neurodevelopmental disorders. The key objectives are to investigate how developmental exposure to the pyrethroid pesticide deltamethrin interacts with a genetic mutation in the SHANK3 gene, which is associated with...
This $238,681 National Science Foundation project grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) funds research into the genetic architecture of exploration behavior in Drosophila at the University of Houston-Downtown. The researchers will use novel arena exploration assays and integrated genetic approaches to identify genes and neurons responsible for neophilia, or attraction to novel stimuli. Specifically, they will determine dopamine signaling requirements for exploratory...
Emory University will conduct research on the neural circuits that promote social cohesion in complex animal groups under a $1,265,579 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Integrative Organismal Systems. The grant falls under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), which supports basic research to advance understanding of biological systems. Specifically, Emory researchers will use chemogenetic and optogenetic techniques paired with social network analysis to...
This three-year, $750,000 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will fund research into the genetic architecture of exploration behavior in Drosophila. The grantee, University of Mississippi, will use novel arena exploration assays and integrated genetic approaches to identify genes and neurons responsible for neophilia, or attraction to novel stimuli. Researchers will determine dopamine signaling requirements for exploratory behavior...
