Georgia TECH Research Corp received a $407,283 Project Grant from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) under the Biomedical Research and Research Training program (CFDA 93.859), effective June 1, 2026, with completion targeted for March 31, 2031. The award supports fundamental research investigating the cellular and genetic basis of complex social behavior in vertebrates, utilizing Lake Malawi cichlid fish as a model system to understand how natural genetic variation influences behavioral phenotypes with minimal genetic divergence. The research deliverables include the development of automated quantification methods for sex-specific social behaviors, single-cell transcriptomic and chromatin accessibility mapping (RNA-seq and ATAC-seq) of forebrain cell types recruited during courtship behavior, identification of cis-regulatory circuits controlling social behavior in specific brain regions, and construction of near-isogenic lines to link specific genomic regions to cell-type-specific and behaviorally divergent outcomes. These products will collectively advance understanding of how genome-encoded gene expression programs in specific cell populations regulate recently evolved social behaviors in outbred vertebrates, contributing to the broader scientific objective of tracing pathways from genotype to phenotype in complex behavioral systems.Federal Project Grant Award Summary
