The National Science Foundation awarded Colorado State University a $1,167,241 project grant under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) to support the acquisition of an ultrahigh resolution mass spectrometry system. The system will enable metaproteomics experiments to advance microbiome research. The three-year award period runs from October 1, 2021 through September 30, 2024. As the prime awardee, Colorado State University will utilize the funding to procure an advanced mass spectrometry device to identify and characterize proteins present in microbial communities. This will support the university's research exploring major problems in biology by strengthening understanding of the microbiome through proteomics analyses at unprecedented resolution levels. The acquisition is expected to enhance national scientific capabilities and knowledge of microbiome composition and function.
