The Ohio State University will train four students in integration and translation of omics data to support trans-omics-assisted plant breeding for enhanced nutrition, under a $262,500 Project Grant from the US Department of Agriculture National Institute of Food and Agriculture. The grant falls under the Higher Education National Needs Graduate Fellowship Grants program (CFDA 10.210), which aims to train students for advanced degrees to address national needs in food and agricultural sciences. Specifically, the grant will support three doctoral and one master's student at Ohio State over five years. The students will develop interdisciplinary skills at the intersection of plant and nutrition sciences to become flexible plant breeders capable of using multi-omics data to develop crop varieties with improved nutrition profiles. Upon completing their degrees, the trainees are expected to become leaders in industry, government, non-profit or academic sectors in plant breeding and food quality. The grant directly addresses national needs for plant scientists with expertise in applying systems biology and omics data to crop improvement.
