The...
- The University of Pittsburgh received a four-year, $855,989 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Molecular and Cellular Biosciences under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074). The grant will fund collaborative research between the University of Pittsburgh and other institutions to tackle functional protein states at atomic detail by integrating weighted ensemble simulations with magnetic resonance restraints. Over the period from July 2021 to June...
The University of Pittsburgh was awarded a $599,899 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Integrative Organismal Systems under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) to deliver an integrated research-education program called BIORETS from March 1, 2022 through February 28, 2025. The program will engage 24 middle and high school science teachers over three years in authentic microbiology research focused on observing and studying how bacteria adaptively evolve when producing biofilm. Teachers will conduct experiments during the summer to advance understanding of Pseudomonas population biology. They will then incorporate related research questions into an established classroom curriculum to empower their predominantly underrepresented minority students to develop skills in experimental design, data analysis, and understanding evolution as a foundational biological concept. The program aims to improve teacher and student attitudes and knowledge of core life science topics relevant to careers in medicine and applied sciences.
