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.

K99Activity Code Description:
To support the initial phase of a Career/Research Transition award program that provides 1-2 years of mentored support for highly motivated, advanced postdoctoral research scientists. R00Activity Code Description:
To support the second phase of a Career/Research Transition award program that provides 1 -3 years of independent research support (R00) contingent on securing an independent research position. Award recipients will be expected to compete successfully for independent R01 support from the NIH during the R00 research transition award period. |
Regulation of the Dlk-1 Pathway in Axon Regeneration @ University of California San Diego
DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Axonal injuries, such as spinal cord injury, are common health issues. To find a way to cure axonal injuries we need to know the mechanisms of axon regeneration. My previous studies showed that regulation of cebp-1 mRNA stabilization and local protein translation by the DLK-1 pathway is required for successfully axon regeneration. However, how axonal injury activates the DLK signaling pathway, how DLK-1 regulates multiple downstream pathways, and what are CEBP-1 downstream targets are still unclear. In this study, I propose experiments to address these questions. Ultimately, I want to find a way to modulate the DLK-1 pathway to promote functional recovery after axonal injury in C .elegans and the mouse. The emphasis in the mentored phase of the award will be on the activation mechanisms of DLK-1 and uncovering DLK-1 negatively regulated genes. In the independent phase, I will further study the regulatory mechanisms of DLK-1 negatively regulated genes, and systematically analyze CEBP-1 transcriptional targets and axonal functions. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: This project will address the regulatory mechanisms of the DLK-1 signaling pathway in axon regeneration. Because the DLK-1 signaling pathway is essential for axon regeneration, my studies will likely provide new clues for curing axonal injuries. This signaling pathway is also important for many other processes, such as synapse formation, axon growth and axon degeneration. Therefore my studies may also shed light on neuronal development and learning memory mechanisms.
