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.

    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

    mCDR 2023: Developing a coupled benthic-pelagic biogeochemical model to evaluate the effectiveness of mCDR interventions Deep cuts to emissions across all sectors are needed in order to limit global warming to 1.5˚C to 2˚C above preindustrial values. If zero emission is ever to be achieved, further implementation of carbon dioxide removal (CDR) strategies are also…Read More

    Integrative biophysical modeling for collective tissue mechanics Organ surfaces, made of epithelial or endothelial cells, serve as physical barriers. These cells are generally static but can transition to a dynamic, migratory state during physiological processes like development and repair. Traditional studies focus on these cells in 2D flat surfaces, which doesn’t translate well to natural…Read More

    Behavioral and neurocognitive mechanisms linking peer victimization to adolescent psychopathology Adolescence is a period of heightened vulnerability for many forms of psychopathology. This vulnerability comes at a time when emotional and physiological responses to peer rejection are elevated, rendering peer victimization particularly damaging. Despite the strong links between peer victimization and internalizing problems during adolescence,…Read More

    Empirical Power Analysis Tool for fMRI Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) research has transformed our understanding of human brain function and disease, but recent work has exposed an endemic lack of statistical power (i.e., ability to detect effects of interest) and a need for power analysis tools that meet the demands of the typical user….Read More
