The National Science Foundation awarded a $1,027,074 Project Grant to Stanford University under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) for work spanning July 15, 2022 to June 30, 2026. The award will support research examining how natural selection impacts prions, which are proteins that can replicate across generations and in some cases cause disease, at multiple levels from molecules to biological communities. Specifically, the grantee will conduct an experimental...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $955,876 Project Grant to Northwestern University to investigate the role of prion-mediated epigenetic regulation in the budding yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The project, funded through NSF's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), aims to examine how two different yeast prions, [SWI+] and [MOT3+], interact and impact global transcription and protein homeostasis. Using advanced multi-omics techniques, the research program will identify...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program is funding research at the Research Foundation of the City University of New York (RFCUNY), Brooklyn College, to elucidate the epigenetic mechanisms through which prions contribute to cellular adaptation in yeast. The $700,000 project, running from August 2024 to July 2027, aims to: (1) map changes in histone modifications associated with the [PIN+] prion; (2) determine the levels,...
The National Science Foundation Division of Integrative Organismal Systems awarded Northern New Mexico College $111,813 under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) to conduct collaborative research from April 1, 2023 to March 31, 2027. The research aims to enhance understanding of plague resistance evolution in prairie dog populations. The award will support genomic and transcriptomic analysis of plague-infected prairie dogs to determine the genetic basis of resistance....
