Empowering schools to identify fundamental movement skill difficulties: reducing inequalities and improving outcomes for children
The acquisition of motor skills is an essential component of childhood development. A child's ability to use sensory information to guide their movements enables learning about the...
Contributions of cell behaviours to dorsal closure in Drosophila abdomen
Despite recent progress, the regulation and coordination of cell behaviours during tissue development remain poorly understood. I seek to address this issue by using agent-based co...
MICA: Identifying risks for severe life-threatening allergic reactions to foods (IRIS-Allergy)
Food allergy affects up to 3% of adults and 6% of children in the UK, and causes serious reactions (anaphylaxis) which can be fatal. Key to management is dietary avoidance; despite...
The Making of Scheduling Standards in the USA
This award was provided as part of NSF’s Social, Behavioral and Economic Sciences (SBE)Postdoctoral Research Fellowships (SPRF) program and SBE's Sociology program. The goal of the...
Functions of a novel chitinase-like effector family unique to aphids
Aphids are intrinsically fascinating insects, but they are also damaging pests in global agriculture, causing losses through feeding on plant sap and through spreading many viruses...
Identifying Safe Stimulant Prescribing Practices to Protect Patients, Inform Key Program Initiatives, and Assist Providers
Background: VA use of prescribed stimulants (PS) has been skyrocketing. PS are beneficial for many Veterans but can also cause serious risks ranging from cardiac problems, psychos...
Home foot-temperature monitoring through smart mat technology to improve access, equity, and outcomes in high-risk patients with diabetes
Background: Diabetic foot ulcers (DFU) are common, debilitating, and costly complications of diabetes. Those with a history of ulceration are at high risk of future ulcerations --...

NSF Postdoctoral Fellowship in Biology
This action funds an NSF Plant Genome Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Biology for FY 2022. The fellowship supports a research and training plan in a host laboratory for the Fel...
Collaborative Research: ERASE-PFAS: Thermal Regeneration of PFAS-laden Granular Activated Carbon presents an Opportunity to Break the Forever PFAS Cycle
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are fluorinated organic chemicals that have emerged as priority pollutants during the last two decades due to increasing concerns about t...

RUI: Combinatorial Synthesis of Protein-Polymer Conjugates by Post-Polymerization Modification of Side-Chain Reactive Polymers
Non-technical description Life as we know it would not exist without proteins. Proteins perform functions as wide-ranging as transporting oxygen through the body to recognizing...
Influence of Fracture Heterogeneity on Rock Deformation and Failure (INFORM): A Mechanics-based Multi-scale Framework for Radioactive Waste Disposal
Nuclear power is low-carbon and green energy. It presently provides about 10% of the world's electricity and 20% of the UK's electricity, contributing enormously to global Net Zero...
Collaborative Research: The interplay of nitrogen loading and ecosystem sustainability in threatened wetlands: an extension of the WETFEET project
Over the last decade, pollution in Florida estuaries has had dire consequences such as red tides and massive die-offs of fish and marine mammals. This team of researchers has worke...
Challenging the dogma: is PABP-mediated post-transcriptional control essential in mammals?
The proteins that make up our body are encoded in DNA as genes that serve as a genetic blueprint. The information in genes is decoded to produce proteins by a multi-step process kn...
Modulation of antibiotic resistance and protein synthesis by disrupting Elongation Factor G dynamics
Antibiotic resistance is a serious public health concern; the Chief Medical Officer for England warned it poses a 'catastrophic threat' on a par with climate change or terrorism an...
Developing and Implementing a Modern Slavery Core Outcome Set (MS-COS)
This research aims to help survivors of modern slavery to recover from their experiences, by improving how we collect and analyse data from programmes that work to support survivor...
Balancing emotions and behaviour - environmental factors, individual differences and the brain
Our emotions fluctuate as we go through our day, in response to what we encounter - for example, seeing someone cough might make us feel worried or stressed about getting ill. Thes...
Robust and Efficient Statistical Inference in Large Scale Semi-Supervised Settings
This project will develop methods for robust statistical inference in semi-supervised settings. Unlike more traditional data settings, semi-supervised settings are characterized by...
