INTEGRATED RESEARCH EDUCATION GRANTS WERE AWARDED TO DEVELOP NEW APPROACHES THAT COULD EXPLAIN HOW TO CONTROL WHAT IS PRODUCED IN A CHEMICAL REACTION USING EXTERNALLY APPLIED ELECTRIC FIELDS; AND TO INVESTIGATE HOW A COMMONLY MUTATED GENE ENCODING THAT BECOMES HYPERACTIVE IN HIGH MORTALITY CANCER CAN BE SHUT DOWN BY GENETICALLY ALTERING THE LEUKEMIC PROGRAM OF GENE EXPRESSION.NEW INVESTIGATOR GRANTS PROVIDE RESEARCH SUPPORT FOR INNOVATIVE BASIC SCIENTISTS AS THEY TRANSITION INTO AN ACADEMIC POSITION AS A NEW INDEPENDENT INVESTIGATOR. THE FOUNDATION AWARDED NEW INVESTIGATOR GRANTS THAT ADDRESS CORE PRINCIPLES IN BIOLOGY, PHYSICS AND CHEMISTRY. GRANTS WERE AWARDED TO ENABLE UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS TO:1) EXPLORE AND DETERMINE HOW BACTERIA MAKE LIFESTYLE DECISIONS IN REALISTIC CONDITIONS THAT APPROXIMATE THE ENVIRONMENTS IN WHICH THEY NATURALLY GROW, WHERE NUTRIENTS AND CELL-TO-CELL SIGNALS ARE IN FLUX AND OTHER ORGANISMS ARE PRESENT; 2) ADDRESS KEY KNOWLEDGE GAPS REGARDING THE CAUSES AND CONSEQUENCES OF BEHAVIORAL PLASTICITY IN LONG-LIVED SPECIES, PROVIDING INSIGHT INTO THEIR CAPACITY FOR ADAPTATION AND RESILIENCE TO CLIMATE CHANGE; 3) DIRECTLY QUANTIFY THE IMPACT OF CATION IDENTITY ON CRITICAL PERFORMANCE PARAMETERS UNDER REACTION CONDITIONS FOR THE FIRST TIME TO DESIGN ELECTROCATALYTIC SYSTEMS WITH SUPERIOR ENERGY CONVERSION EFFICIENCY, FACILITATING THE COMMERCIAL IMPLEMENTATION OF ELECTROCATALYTIC TECHNOLOGIES AND EASING THE ENVIRONMENTAL BURDEN OF THE CHEMICAL INDUSTRY; AND 4) FURTHER STUDIES IN THE FIELD OF AGING RESEARCH THAT WILL ENABLE US TO DETERMINE HOW DENTATE GYRUS (DG) SYNAPSES COMPENSATE FOR STEM CELL EXHAUSTION AND THE OTHER HALLMARKS OF BIOLOGICAL AGING AND TO IDENTIFY THE DISTINCT SET OF PRINCIPLES THAT GOVERN SYNAPTIC AGING TO UNDERSTAND COGNITIVE DYSREGULATION DUE TO DISORDERS OF AGING.NEW INITIATIVE RESEARCH GRANTS STIMULATE EXISTING INVESTIGATORS WITH STRONG RECORDS OF RESEARCH ACCOMPLISHMENTS TO ESTABLISH COLLABORATIONS THAT FACILITATE INNOVATIVE INTERDISCIPLINARY APPROACHES TOWARD A COMMON RESEARCH QUESTION AND THAT REQUIRE EXPERTISE BEYOND THAT OF ANY SINGLE RESEARCHER.
