This article provides a brief overview of 18 projects funded in Track D—Data and Model Sharing to Enable AI Innovation—of the 2020 Cohort National Science Foundation's (NSF) Convergence Accelerator (CA) program. The NSF CA is focused on transitioning research practice for societal impact. described here were one year phase I program, beginning September 2020. Their focus delivering tools, techn...

N-Ethylmaleimide-sensitive fusion protein (NSF) is an ATPase required in multiple stages of the secretory and endocytic pathways. NSF requires other proteins for its action in vesicular transport including the soluble NSF attachment proteins (SNAPs), which act to bind NSF to integral membrane proteins. We have investigated the ATPase activity of NSF and its modulation by alpha- and gamma-SNAPs ...

Peptides that inhibit the SNAP-stimulated ATPase activity of NSF (NSF-2, NSF-3) were injected intra-axonally to study the role of this protein in the release of glutamate at the crayfish neuromuscular junction. Macropatch recording was used to establish the quantal content and to construct synaptic delay histograms. NSF-2 or NSF-3 injection reduced the quantal content, evoked by either direct d...

During the past five years, the PI has received funding from individual grants from the National Science Foundation and the National Security Agency, as follows: DMS 9500936 (Random Tilings, 1995-1998); DMS 9803249 (Research on Tilings, 1999-2003). He also received funding from the National Security Agency, the most recent of which was MDA904-00-1-0060. As part of these grants, the PI has also ...
