The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke awarded The General Hospital Corporation (doing business as Massachusetts General Hospital) $1.854 million on September 1, 2026, under the Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders program (CFDA 93.853). The award funds research into compartmentalized reactive oxygen species (ROS) sensing in the brain, specifically investigating how neurons balance mitochondrial energy production with ROS control. The project uses chemical proteomics, genome-wide CRISPR screens, and untargeted metabolomics to characterize how neurotransmission regulates VPS35—a component of the retromer trafficking complex that senses cytosolic ROS—and how mitochondrial translation is controlled across the soma, axon, and bouton of highly compartmentalized neurons. The research explores mitochondrial translation as a critical mechanism for reducing mitochondrial ROS generation in neurons. Performance runs from September 1, 2026, through August 31, 2029, at Massachusetts General Hospital's Research Management Division in Boston, Massachusetts. The assistance type is a Project Grant.
