We are testing a new system for linking grants to scientists.
The funding information displayed below comes from the
NIH Research Portfolio Online Reporting Tools and the
NSF Award Database.
The grant data on this page is limited to grants awarded in the United States and is thus partial. It can nonetheless be used to understand how funding patterns influence mentorship networks and vice-versa, which has deep implications on how research is done.

Problems in Membrane Biophysics
9316256 McConnell This research explores the use of lipid/protein monolayers at the air-water interface to study specific cell membrane-monolayer membrane interactions. Fluorescence microscopy is the principle technique used to carry out these studies. Membrane proteins of special interest are the class II molecules of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC). These proteins are incorporated in lipid monolayers. The interaction between MHC- peptide complexes and peptide specific, MHC restricted T-cell hybridomas is studied by fluorescence microscopic observations of suitably labeled protein/peptide/lipid, taking advantage of recently developed knowledge concerning physical properties of lipid monolayers. Apposition of T-cells to the monolayers is carefully controlled using cell suspension methods. Detection of the binding of specific MHC-peptide complexes in monolayers to a population of T-cells is a potential novel technique leading to the identification of reactive T-cells clones, and to the eventual sequencing of T-cell receptor genes. %%% The surface of the earth is approximately 75% air-water interface. In spite of the potential ecological and environmental significance of this interface, remarkably little is known about physical and chemical events that are interfacial. This is simply because so few molecules are present at this interface at any one time. Research in the laboratory of Harden McConnell at Stanford has brought about a breakthrough in technique for observing chemical, physical and biological events at this interface. This technique has involved the application of fluorescent molecular probes that bind only to the interface--they are not soluble in water, nor do they vaporize into the air. These probes permit the observation of events at the interface using a simple fluorescence optical microscope. Many phenomena (phase transitions, chemical reactions, and bacterial motion) can be observed at the air-water interface by their eff ects on the spatial distribution of these fluorescent molecules. Literally dozens of new observations have been reported in the scientific literature using these techniques. A study currently being initiated in this laboratory concerns the effects of electrical fields on biological cells. ***

Arfmp: Renovation of Stauffer Chemistry, Chemical Engineering Complex
This Academic Research Facilities Modernization Program (ARFMP) award from the Research Facilities Office provides funds to Stanford University for the renovation and repair of the Stauffer building complex which houses a portion of the research and research training activities in Chemistry and Chemical Engineering. This building was constructed in 1961 and last renovated in 1989. The ARFMP grant of $1,500,000 and $4,375,000 provided by the grantee as cost sharing will be used to modernize these research and research training facilities so as to meet the significant new demands placed on them by research in these fields and the requirements for the safe practice of that research. This project will address the need to improve the current research infrastructure by systematically upgrading major building systems and by selectively renovating individual laboratories to conform to recent building and fire codes. Top priority will be given to the renovation of the intake/exhaust systems including the replacement of all existing fume hoods for safety, economic, and research quality considerations. This award contributes to the infrastructure of science and engineering by providing an improved environment for the conduct of research and for the training of quality undergraduate and graduate students. This project will enable two leading research and research training departments to continue to provide not only an outstanding environment but one with an increased capacity for training the excellent students it attracts. Students trained in these laboratories are in demand in both basic and applied research fields.
