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.

The Molecular Basis of Gustatory Coding in Drosophila
DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Animals use chemical cues from the environment to seek out high quality food sources, while at the same time avoiding poisonous compounds. Despite the importance of the gustatory system, little is known about the basic principles of taste reception. The goal of this project is to elucidate basic principles of taste system function and organization. The experimental plan takes advantage of the fruit fly Drosophila as a model system for the study of taste. Drosophila has relatively simple taste organs, containing several hundred receptor neurons. A number of powerful molecular genetic tools can be utilized in Drosophila, and Drosophila taste neurons can be examined electrophysiologically, enabling us to examine electrical impulses in individual taste hairs to a particular stimulus, the first aim is to provide a functional map of the labellum, the primary Drosophila taste organ, using a diverse panel of taste compounds. This analysis should determine the number of functionally distinguishable taste sensilla. The second aim is to identify ligands for selected gustatory receptor genes. This aim is designed to address the tuning breadth of taste receptors, a critical issue in taste coding.

Impulsivity and Drug Abuse: Sex and Hormonal Effects @ University of Minnesota Twin Cities
[unreadable] DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Impulsivity, sex, gonadal hormones, and dietary excesses have been shown to influence drug abuse. The purpose of the proposed experiments is to determine whether sex, gonadal hormones and excessive sweet intake influence impulsive choices for food and cocaine rewards in rats. A delay discounting procedure will be used in which responding on one lever will result in a small, immediate reward, while responses on the other lever will result in a larger reward after a response-dependent delay. The adjusting delay will be used as a quantitative measure of impulsivity. Experiment 1 will examine sex differences in performance of this task, and Experiment 2 will examine gonadal hormone effects. In Experiment 3, male and female rats bred for high and low saccharin consumption will be compared to study the relationship between sweet preference and impulsivity. It is hypothesized that female rats will be more impulsive than males, estrogen in female rats will correspond with higher levels of impulsivity, and rats with high saccharin intake will be more impulsive than low saccharin rats. Clarifying the relationship between impulsivity and other factors that influence drug abuse will aid in developing prevention and treatment strategies. [unreadable] [unreadable] [unreadable]
