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.

Hormonal Regulation of Behavior @ Rutgers the State Univ of Nj Newark
The objective of this project is to understand the interactions between gonadal steroids and monoamine neurotransmitters in brain tissue. Relatively simple and stereotyped behavioral patterns (e.g. lordosis in guinea pigs) that are known to be affected in predictable ways by the steroids estradiol and progesterone and by noradrenergic and serotonergic transmission, are used as indicators of steroid-transmitter interactions in particular brain regions. To pursue this objective the following specific aims are proposed: 1) Establish that norepinephrine facilitates steroid-dependent lordosis by acting on Alpha1-adrenoceptors. Attempt to show that noradrenergic action on Alpha1-adrenoceptors influences lordosis in mature females by regulating the concentration of estrogen and/or progestin receptors in particular brain regions or discrete nuclei. The important implication of this work is that certain types of neural activity selectively and acutely alter brain sensitivity to steroids. 2) Describe the ontogeny of noradrenergic transmission through Alpha-receptors (a system that facilitates steroid-dependent lordosis). Attempt to understand mechanisms of regulation of Alpha-adrenoceptors by studying a neuroblastoma cell line. 3) Trace the ontogeny of serotonin transimission (which inhibits steroid-dependent lordosis behavior). These analyses should give the most complete picture avilable of how steroids form behaviorally relevant interactive relationships with a monoamine transmitter that facilitates lordosis (norepinephrine) and a monoamine transmitter that inhibits lordosis (serotonin) in mature females. The unraveling of these processes may provide insights into the biological roots of steroid-sensitive complex behaviors and mood states in humans.

Bridges to the Baccalaureate Degree @ Rutgers the State Univ of Nj Newark
DESCRIPTION (Adapted from the applicant's abstract): The Bridges to the Baccalaureate Degree Program is designed to build upon the established and recently developed institutional and programmatic relationships between Essex County College (ECC) and the Newark campus of Rutgers, The State University. In order to increase significantly the number of underrepresented minority students at Essex who choose to enter and succeed in pursuing careers in biomedical research, a number of new initiatives between the two institutions will be implemented that will have a direct and salutatory impact on currently enrolled ECC students and will ensure that the future cohorts of ECC students will benefit from the long-term faculty and institutional developments incorporated in this project. Specifically, the bridges program will: (1) increase the awareness of current ECC students, both science majors and undeclared majors, of the career opportunities in academia and in industry for researchers in the biomedical fields by establishing a series of lectures, seminars, and career day opportunities drawing noted Rutgers and industry scientists to ECC; (2) establish science clubs at ECC, drawing upon and modeling on the successful undergraduate science clubs at Rutgers, Newark; (3) invite ECC students and their faculty to attend the regularly scheduled seminar programs at Rutgers, which are designed especially for undeclared but potential science majors and minority students under the auspices of Rutgers, Newark's MBRS Program and its recently established Howard Hughes Medical Institute Initiative for Undergraduate Science; and (4) provide summer laboratory research experiences at Rutgers for selected Essex biology and chemistry majors.
