The Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) was awarded a $800,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) to conduct collaborative research titled "Learning How Mucus Shapes and Maintains Microbiomes" from September 1, 2021 through August 31, 2026.
Under the award, MIT researchers will work to advance understanding of the role that mucus plays in shaping and maintaining microbiomes. The research is funded through the NSF's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), which aims to promote progress in the biological sciences and strengthen the nation's scientific enterprise through increasing knowledge and enhancing comprehension of major problems facing the nation. Insights gained from MIT's mucus and microbiome research have the potential to contribute to solving important biological and health issues.
