The National Science Foundation Division of Molecular and Cellular Biosciences awarded a $288,550 Project Grant to the University of Rhode Island for research titled "EAGER: MECHANISM OF TOXIN ACTIVATION AND FUNCTION IN BACTERIA." The two-year award running from July 1, 2021 to June 30, 2023 is being conducted under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074).
This grant aims to advance understanding of major problems confronting the nation by supporting basic research into the mechanisms by which toxins are activated and function within bacteria. The University of Rhode Island will investigate these processes as the primary awardee, leveraging the $288,550 in NSF funding. Insights gained from this research could enhance scientific knowledge of toxin-mediated bacterial pathogenesis.
