We are testing a new system for linking grants to scientists.
The funding information displayed below comes from the
NIH Research Portfolio Online Reporting Tools and the
NSF Award Database.
The grant data on this page is limited to grants awarded in the United States and is thus partial. It can nonetheless be used to understand how funding patterns influence mentorship networks and vice-versa, which has deep implications on how research is done.

Effects of Nmda Antagonists On Conditioned Reinforcement @ Virginia Commonwealth University
DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Cocaine abuse and dependence disorders comprise a highly prevalent public health concern. Exposure to environmental cues associated with drug taking can elicit self-reports of drug craving and potentially relapse in abstinent human drug users. These behaviors develop as learned responses to drug-related stimuli, and there is evidence implicating the importance of glutamatergic neurotransmission in associative learning and the neurobiological processes that mediate drug-conditioned behaviors. Understanding drug-conditioned behaviors could provide insight to the neuro-behavioral processes underlying drug abuse and could lead to effective treatments for addictive disorders. The objectives of the proposed study are to establish conditions in which drug-seeking behavior will be maintained by conditioned reinforcers associated with cocaine, and to evaluate the effects of site selective NMDA receptor related agents on behavior maintained by cocaine-associated conditioned reinforcers in rats. To this aim, NMDA agents that bind to specific sites on the NMDA receptor complex, specifically the polyamine, glycine, competitive, and non-competitive binding sites will be evaluated. Examining the various site-selective modulators is important as some may have advantages over others. The results of this study could provide information relevant to medication development for treating cocaine abuse, as well as heightened understanding of the contributory roles of the modulatory site on the NMDA receptor complex.

An Integrated System For Monitoring Operant Conditioned Behavior in Mice. @ Tufts University Boston
DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Tufts Animal Behavioral Core (ABC) facility is a valued resource that serves neuroscientists within Tufts University and the greater Boston scientific community. Investigators from 44 different laboratories across 11 institutions have taken advantage of the ABC, illustrating its significance as a regional resource. The ABC is supported by a NINDS center core grant to the Tufts Center for Neuroscience Research (CNR; P30 NS047243). The ABC's mission is to provide investigators the resources for evaluating the behavioral consequences of molecular, genetic, and neuropharmacological manipulations with the intention of identifying therapeutic targets for treating central nervous system disorders. The ABC provides local scientists with the equipment, training, and expertise not otherwise available for behavioral testing. In order to ensure the continuation of innovative research among NIH-funded neuroscience investigators, we are requesting one-time equipment funding to purchase a state-of-the-art behavior analysis system for the study of cognition, motivation, anxiety and affect, and drug abuse in mice. The ABC does not currently have the equipment to make operant conditioning methodology available to the research community. Implementing this technique is a logical extension of existing resources and would considerably strengthen the capabilities of investigators using mouse behavior as a scientific endpoint. At present, there are eight neuroscience investigators who will use the operant behavior system. The requested funds would allow for the purchase of an operant conditioning system complete with computers, software, and 16 test chambers equipped with touchscreen response panels designed to assess mouse behaviors relevant to all domains within the neuropsychiatric spectrum, ranging from cognitive deficits and affective disorders to motivation and addiction. Importantly, many of the operant behavior tasks used in animals have analogous versions in the clinical laboratory, exemplifying its high translational value. Data collection is fully automated, thus allowing quantitative and objective behavioral measurements while eliminating observer bias and handling stress. The new equipment will be maintained by the CNR, which provides administrative and financial support for the ABC.
