The National Science Foundation awarded a $992,485 project grant to The Washington University under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) for work beginning August 1, 2021 through July 31, 2025. The grant funds collaborative research on the functional synergy between disordered proteins and their environment in desiccation protection. The Biological Sciences program aims to advance biological knowledge and understanding of major problems through basic research. This award will support research examining how disordered proteins interact with their surroundings to protect organisms during drying, with results deepening insight into molecular mechanisms of desiccation tolerance.
