- This federal Project Grant award, provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Federal Grant Program, supports research into the mechanisms that allow telomeres, the ends of chromosomes, to be protected from degradation and fusion that can lead to diseases like cancer. The $999,626 award to The Cleveland Clinic Foundation, commencing on Sep 1, 2025 and concluding on Aug 31, 2028, will investigate the role of the CCQ1 protein in shielding telomeres and...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Project Grant award of $1,000,000 to the University of Michigan provides funding from August 1, 2024 to July 31, 2028 to study the molecular mechanism of telomere maintenance in the model organism Caenorhabditis elegans. The research aims to leverage the simplicity of the worm's shelterin protein complex to answer fundamental questions about the structure and function of these proteins in chromosome end protection and...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $495,594.00 to the University of California, Santa Barbara to conduct research on the mechanisms underlying DNA double-strand break repair through homologous recombination. The objectives of this 5-year project are to 1) define the steps in recombination altered by DNA interstrand crosslinks, 2) explore how the DNA repair regulatory kinase ATR is activated during double-strand break...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $350,000 to the University of Iowa to support research on the mechanisms involved in the propagation of chromosome fragments in the germline. The 3-year project aims to investigate how DNA breaks that occur during the formation of egg and sperm cells are stabilized and passed on to the next generation. The research will be conducted using the model organism C. elegans and will...
