- The University of Maine System (UMaine) received a $349,999 Project Grant award from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) under the Biomedical Research and Research Training program (CFDA 93.859). The grant, awarded on August 15, 2024, will be used to expand UMaine's zebrafish research facility, which is critical for the work of 12 NIH-funded faculty across multiple academic departments. The funding will support the purchase of a central filtration system, 11 double-sided...
- This Project Grant award, valued at $722,774 and provided by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Office of Research Infrastructure Programs (ORIP) under CFDA 93.351, aims to develop a new resource system to provide individual zebrafish research laboratories with decentralized capabilities for reproducible sperm cryopreservation and quality management. The project's goal is to address the urgent need to transition from the centralized sperm cryopreservation approach at the Zebrafish...
- This $778,241 Project Grant award from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Office of Research Infrastructure Programs (CFDA 93.351) will support the development, characterization, and validation of recombinant antibodies and antibody-based biosensors for the zebrafish research community. The project aims to address the lack of reliable, reproducible, and molecularly defined antibodies for zebrafish proteins, which has hindered mechanistic cell biological and biochemical studies using this...
- This Project Grant award of $863,982 from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Office of Research Infrastructure Programs (CFDA 93.351) will support the development of an integrative 3D microanatomical and gene expression atlas for the zebrafish model organism. The goal is to create a comprehensive resource that will facilitate the interpretation of multi-omic data in the context of whole-organism biology and developmental stages. Key deliverables include a 3D whole-animal lifespan atlas...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Project Grant award of $500,000.00 to the University of Mississippi aims to investigate the robustness mechanisms that enable normal organ formation, specifically focusing on the heart, despite genetic variations and environmental changes. The 5-year project from 9/15/2025 to 8/31/2030 will utilize the zebrafish embryonic model system to observe inter-tissue communication and organ development in real-time. The research...
- The U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA) National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) awarded a $485,000 Project Grant under the Research Facilities Act Program (CFDA 10.246) to Mississippi State University (MSU) to install two modular fish research laboratories with an automated chemical effluent decontamination system. This grant will facilitate the university's aquatic animal health research focused on understanding and mitigating infectious diseases impacting the $1.9 billion U.S....
- This federal Project Grant award of $779,657, funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Office of Research Infrastructure Programs (CFDA 93.351 - Research Infrastructure Programs), aims to establish and expand community-accessible resources for site-directed transgenesis in zebrafish. The University of Colorado-Denver will replace existing Tol2-based transgenes with engineered PhiC31 integrase genomic loci (PIGLET) to create the first universal landing site strains for zebrafish,...
- This federal Project Grant award of $500,000.00 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program supports research on the effects of elevated temperatures and pollutants on the reproductive success of zebrafish, which can serve as a model for many fish species. The study aims to investigate how environmental variables such as changes in temperature and exposure to the pollutant dioxin impact key aspects of fish reproduction, including sex ratios, gamete...
- This Project Grant award from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Office of Research Infrastructure Programs (CFDA 93.351 - Research Infrastructure Programs) provides $194,375 to the University of Wisconsin-Madison to develop robust genome editing tools for generating floxed alleles and editing amino acid changes in the zebrafish model system. The project aims to establish a synthetic exon-mediated integration approach to reliably introduce loxP sites into target genes, enabling...
The University of Mississippi was awarded a $132,062 Project Grant by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Office of Research Infrastructure Programs (CFDA 93.351) to acquire a state-of-the-art zebrafish housing and breeding system for the university's aquatics facility. The goal is to support the expanding use of zebrafish, a critical model organism, in biomedical research at the university. The award will fund the implementation of new zebrafish culture systems, including single-sided and double-sided racks, monitoring and control equipment, and an aquaspawner chamber to enable large-scale embryo production. This infrastructure upgrade will provide researchers with enhanced zebrafish culture capabilities, improve experimental reproducibility, and facilitate the recruitment of additional zebrafish researchers. The project is scheduled for completion by July 14, 2026.
