The National Science Foundation Division of Environmental Biology awarded a $358,777 Project Grant to the College of William and Mary under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) to fund collaborative research from July 2022 to June 2026. The research aims to advance understanding of how natural selection impacts prions, which are protein-based infectious agents that can cause diseases like mad cow disease, at multiple levels from molecules to biological communities....
The National Science Foundation Division of Molecular and Cellular Biosciences awarded a $293,514 Project Grant to The Trustees of Trinity College in Hartford, Connecticut. The grant supports research from September 1, 2021 to August 31, 2024 under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074). The grant funds development of microelectrophoretic and statistical tools to study kinase- and reactive oxygen species-based signaling pathways in the social amoeba Dictyostelium discoideum. The...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) project grant, awarded to Earlham College for $461,575, supports fundamental research investigating how the bacterial enzyme ProXP-X recognizes and prevents the use of toxic D-amino acids in protein synthesis. The project aims to characterize how ProXP-X distinguishes between L- and D-amino acid substrates, and determine if its activity protects bacterial cells from D-amino acid toxicity. This research will expand...
This $179,978 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083) supports research at South Dakota State University (SDSU) to understand the mechanisms that allow cells to respond to stress. The key objectives are to investigate: 1) how mRNA stability and decay contribute to dynamic gene expression patterns in response to stress, and 2) how the combinatorial regulation of genes by multiple transcription factors influences dynamic gene...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a 5-year, $520,000 CAREER grant to the University of Colorado-Denver under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to research mechanisms of nonsense-mediated RNA decay (NMD) evasion by endogenous and viral transcripts. The project aims to leverage evolutionary analysis, molecular biology, and genomics to identify signals that allow physiological RNAs resembling aberrant RNAs to escape NMD quality control. It will also engage 8th-9th grade...
This $795,135 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research at the University of Illinois on protein dynamics under extreme environmental conditions. The four-year award beginning June 1, 2022 will fund three related subprojects investigating how proteins adapt to enable organism survival in stressful environments like heat, pressure and dehydration. The research will study intrinsically disordered protein structure and...
This $120,681 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports collaborative research by Syracuse University to investigate how intrinsically disordered proteins and cellular environments work together to protect organisms from desiccation as the climate changes. The project will employ a multi-level, interdisciplinary approach, spanning experiments on individual molecules, cellular-level studies in yeast, and...
The National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) awarded a $403,750 Project Grant under the Biomedical Research and Research Training program (CFDA 93.859) to Duke University. The grant, effective June 1, 2025 through April 30, 2030, will support research to understand how stress response mechanisms evolved in archaea, the evolutionary progenitors of eukaryotes. The research aims to characterize the architecture and dynamic function of transcriptional regulatory networks (TRNs)...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Molecular and Cellular Biosciences awarded a $1,199,995 Project Grant to The Washington University in St. Louis to characterize the genetic and epigenetic determinants of the transition from unicellular to multicellular states in the slime mold Dictyostelium discoideum. The project, funded through the Biological Sciences CFDA Program (47.074), leverages this organism's ability to regularly shift between unicellular and multicellular forms to...
The Washington University Office of Sponsored Research Services Division has been awarded a $514,876 Project Grant by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074). The grant will fund a 5-year research project to develop new computational methods for studying the evolution of intrinsically disordered protein regions (IDRs), which play essential biological roles despite not adopting a defined 3D structure. The project aims to identify signatures of...
