Grants applied for since arriving at ISU (for complete grant, please see appendix)
2002 NIH-BRIN Faculty Development grant. ($8,000) -- Funded
The aim of this proposal is to develop the necessary data for resubmittal of NIH and/or Whitehall Foundation proposal
2002 The Whitehall Foundation. 'The evolution of sensorimotor convergence in a feeding pattern generator ($30,000) -- Not funded -- resubmittal due late Spring 2002
This proposal was designed to investigate where the brain ‘filters’ multiple forms of incoming sensory inputs before choosing the appropriate motor output. This research investigates where and how sensory inputs project into the brain to activate and regulate the motor neurons and thus the kinematic and muscular control of feeding.
2001 National Institutes of Health. 'Sensorimotor integration in a feeding pattern generator' ($186,726) -- Not funded -- resubmittal due 25 January 2002
This proposal investigates projections from somatosensory, olfactory, visual and tactile neurons into the brain and the sites of convergence onto the feeding motor pattern generator. The following specific aims are addressed:
Aim 1. To anatomically identify the pathways involved in coordinating the timing of feeding movements.
Aim 2. To anatomically identify other sensory inputs that project to, and may modulate the feeding motor pattern generator.
2001 Howard Hughes Medical Institute ($2,199,284) Co-PI with Cook, Rodnick, Brandon. -- Not funded
This proposal addressed the following aims:
Aim 1. Student Research and Broadening Access to Science
An integrated Biological and Pharmaceutical Sciences career development program for undergraduates in the biomedical sciences.
Aim 2. Current and Future Faculty Development
New seminar course and annual workshops for faculty and graduate students in mentoring and training precollege and undergraduate students.
Aim 3. Curriculum, Equipment and Laboratory Development
Develop new courses in Molecular Methods/Bioinformatics, and the History and Philosophy of Science.
Aim 4. Precollege and other outreach Programs
Initiate a Howard Hughes Summer Science Academy for precollege students interested in the biomedical sciences. An extended research experience for precollege students will be through a Howard Hughes Summer Science Research Fellowship program
2001 ISU Faculty Research Committee grant ($3,977.00) 'Neuronal circuitry underlying a goal-directed movement'. Funded May 2001 to May 2002
2000 National Science Foundation, Integrative and Behavioral NeuroscienceDivision ($209, 287.00) 'Brainstem circuits mediating feeding motor output' -- Not funded
