The National Science Foundation awarded a $514,999 Project Grant to the President and Fellows of Harvard College from February 15, 2021 through January 31, 2024 under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074). The grant funds collaborative research to design a minimized genome cyanobacterial chassis for efficient bioproduction. The Biological Sciences program aims to promote advancement in the biological sciences and strengthen the national scientific enterprise through increasing knowledge and understanding of major problems facing the nation. Most research supported by this program is basic science. Under this award, the President and Fellows of Harvard College will work to develop a simplified cyanobacterial genome and cell structure to efficiently produce biomolecules, advancing both basic scientific knowledge of biological systems and applied research relevant to biomanufacturing goals.
