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.

Hypothalamic Thermosensitivity in Genetic Obesity @ University of California Santa Barbara
Genetically obese rodents, widely used as animal models of early-onset obesity and diabetes, have a large number of metabolic and endocrine deficiencies. This proposal deals with deficiencies in the regulation of energy balance. Obese animals tend to have a low body temperature and low metabolic rate, and they produce less heat than lean animals during a meal and during cold exposure. The energy saved in thermogenesis is stored as fat. These deficits have been attributed to faulty brown fat metabolism. The hypothesis of the present work is that central control mechanisms of temperature regulation may contribute to energy balance disequilibrium. Many observations regarding obese animals are consistent with the idea that the regulatory has been re-set to a lower level. Hypothalamic thermosensitivity will be examined by measuring oxygen consumption and dry and evaporative heat loss during hypothalamic heating and cooling at different ambient temperatures in lean and obese Zucker rats. Inferences can be drawn from these measurements regarding the thermoregulatory set point and the gain of the regulator.

Laboratory Training in the Behavioral and Neural Sciences @ University of California-Santa Barbara
This project provides funds for expanding and improving undergraduate biopsychology teaching laboratory curriculum. Two upgraded versions of current courses (Laboratories in Neuroanatomy and Animal Learning) and two new ones (Laboratories in Hormones and Behavior and Human Psychophysiology) are being offered to approximately 200 biopsychology majors. A laboratory complement is provided to lecture course material and emphasizes the dynamic, i.e., ever-changing, nature of scientific discovery. Other goals of the laboratory curriculum are as follows: (1) to provide undergraduates with hands on experience in state-of-the-art neuroscience research methodologies through small group instruction in the laboratory, preparing them for careers in the health sciences; (2) to teach undergraduates the scientific method, by having them design and conduct independent experiments to test specific, self-generated scientific hypotheses; (3) to improve scientific literacy (including critical thinking) and communication, by requiring students to read the original scientific literature and present their own data in written and/or oral form; (4) to enhance our students' computer usage skills. Achievement of these goals enables graduates: (1) to be cognizant of their own physiology; (2) to evaluate critically the enormous amount of information (scientific or otherwise) presented by the media; (3) to compete successfully in the markeplace for jobs or additional postgraduate education; (4) to succeed in the increasingly technology-driven workplace of current and future society.
