Grants

Society significantly benefits from scientific research, but it wouldn’t be possible without generous contributions from public and private sources.

This page is a testament to that support. With it, Northeastern’s College of Science has cultivated a dynamic landscape of research activity. Through a culture that emphasizes entrepreneurship, our exceptional faculty, staff, and student researchers are able to maximize the impact of their work.

The grants listed below are a preview of the science and scientists of tomorrow, who probe single cells, the outer limit of particle physics, and everything in between.

    Sponsor: Longevity Impetus grant (A-241530)
    Engineering C. elegans worms to live more than a year Can a worm that normally lives 15 days live a year? How much can we extend lifespan if we combine multiple interventions that extend lifespan on their own? We are excited to find out how plastic is the lifespan of C. elegans worms.Read More

    CIF: Small: Projective limits of sparse graphs This project aims to analyze and identify well-behaved graph limits for sparse random graph models, specifically focusing on influential models developed in the investigator’s previous NSF-funded research related to real-world networks. The goal is to ensure that conclusions drawn from these models are realistic by verifying that their…Read More

    Reconsidering context: Theory and Measurement Self-reports of experience are most often quantified via anchored, Likert-type rating scales (e.g., using a scale from 0-5, where 0 is no fatigue and 5 is maximal fatigue). Raters change how they use such scales when their internal bodily state changes, making such scales poorly reliable and invalid under such…Read More

    Modeling the mucosal glycopeptide mesh for improved disease understanding and mucin-inspired biomaterial design Mucins and other densely glycosylated proteins play critical roles in a number of biological processes, disease conditions, and therapeutics. The functioning of these sugar-coated molecular machines depends on their structure, dynamics, and conformational transitions. Experimental techniques for capturing such structural dynamics, however,…Read More
