- This $299,882 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (CFDA 47.076 STEM Education) to Tougaloo College aims to advance the field of genomics through innovative research and education initiatives. The overarching goal is to utilize high-throughput genomic and transcriptome data, primarily from nanopore long-read sequencing, to investigate the influence of DNA methylation on RNA velocity trajectories in diverse biological systems and diseases. The project will develop...
- The National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) awarded a $484,764 Cooperative Agreement to El Paso Community College (EPCC) under the Human Genome Research federal grant program (CFDA 93.172). The award will fund the development and implementation of three curriculum modules on computational genomics and cloud computing to be integrated into 8 biology, anatomy and physiology, and microbiology courses per semester at EPCC. The goal is to expose EPCC's diverse student body, which includes...
- The National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) awarded a $579,698 Project Grant (CFDA 93.172 - Human Genome Research) to the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center in Seattle, Washington to develop the "FACETING GEMS (Genomic Education Modules) for the Entry-Level Workforce" program. The program aims to address the gap in genomics education at under-resourced community colleges by: 1) Providing accessible, research-focused genomics training modules; 2) Training and motivating partner site...
- The Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory was awarded a $359,148 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Undergraduate Education under the STEM Education (47.076) federal grant program. The award will support the development of course-based undergraduate research experiences integrating advanced DNA sequencing technologies at minority-serving institutions from June 2022 to May 2024. Specifically, the Laboratory will partner with New York City College of Technology, Spelman...
- The National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) awarded a $541,629 Project Grant under CFDA 93.859, Biomedical Research and Research Training, to the University of Alabama to enhance the Genomics Education Partnership (GEP). The GEP is a nationwide consortium of 265 faculty at 213 institutions that annually engages over 2,400 undergraduates in genomics training and research through course-based undergraduate research experiences (CUREs). The grant funding will be used to 1) develop...
- This $1,069,764 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Integrative Activities (IA) program supports research into the genome complexity and evolution of the Amoebozoa, a diverse group of single-cell eukaryotes. The project, conducted by Spelman College, aims to investigate the genetic innovations and genomic features that have contributed to the remarkable morphological and behavioral diversity observed within the Amoebozoa. The research will integrate comparative...
The U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH), under the Trans-NIH Research Support program (CFDA 93.310), awarded a $160,186 Cooperative Agreement grant to Spelman College to build a genomic data science educational program in the Biology department. The goal is to develop curricular modules on genomic data science concepts, tools, and resources across several biology courses, from introductory to upper-level research-based classes. This will expose students to the applications of genomic data science in areas like cancer and microbiomes, and provide hands-on experiences to prepare them for graduate studies and careers in this interdisciplinary field. The 3-year project aims to create a pathway for Spelman's students, particularly women of color, to enter the growing field of genomic data science.
