- This award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program provides $449,695 to Clark Atlanta University to support a research project titled "Deriving Gene Function from Three-Dimensional Gene Clustering". The project aims to identify functional gene clustering and coordinated gene expression in a green alga, A. protothecoides, by integrating multiple sequencing data to map the three-dimensional genome architecture. The research will explore...
- This $349,602 federal project grant award from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program supports research at Clark Atlanta University to evaluate the effectiveness of integrating scientific literacy curricula, peer mentoring, and supplemental instruction for first-year biology majors. The goal is to enhance retention, graduation rates, and gateway course pass rates for this student population. The 3-year project employs a randomized controlled trial design,...
- This federal Project Grant award from the Department of Defense's Office of the Secretary of Defense under the Basic, Applied, and Advanced Research in Science and Engineering program (CFDA 12.630) provides $194,302.00 to Clark Atlanta University for the acquisition of a chemi-/physi-sorption/micropore analytic system. This new research equipment will support materials science research, education, and capacity building at the university. The award has a performance period from Sep 1, 2024 to Aug...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $397,999 Project Grant under the STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program to Clark Atlanta University to develop and implement new undergraduate geospatial research courses in the political science curriculum, incorporate geospatial data systems and/or data analytics modules in existing political science courses, and increase geospatial research and data analytics through faculty-mentored undergraduate research projects. The goal of this 3-year project...
- This $452,947 project grant from the National Science Foundation will fund research at Clark University from September 2022 through August 2025 under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074). The research aims to examine transgenerational effects as a mechanism for partner choice in the legume-rhizobia mutualism. Specifically, the project will study whether previous exposure to specific rhizobia strains and their efficacy informs subsequent generations of bearded clover host plants'...
- This $970,384 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Integrative Activities (IA) program (CFDA 47.083) supports research at Winston-Salem State University (WSSU), a historically Black college and university, to investigate the role of mitochondrial damage-associated molecular patterns (mtDAMPs) in driving sterile inflammation following muscle contraction-induced injury. The key objectives are to elucidate the molecular mechanisms by which mtDAMPs mediate the...
- This $878,496 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083) supports a research project at the Morehouse School of Medicine (MSM) to investigate the role of STAT5 signaling in placental dysfunction, inflammation, and fetal immune activation. The project aims to expand scientific understanding of the molecular processes influencing reproductive biology and fetal immune development by leveraging innovative techniques and human...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Office of Integrative Activities (CFDA 47.083) provides $914,016 to Clark Atlanta University, a private historically Black university, to conduct research on the developmental regulation of the WDR77 protein and its role in coordinating prostate growth and differentiation during puberty and young adulthood. The research aims to determine how changing androgen (male hormone) levels affect prostate development, including investigating epigenetic modifications and gene expression that mediate the switch from proliferation to differentiation. The project will also support graduate and undergraduate student training and promote scientific research within the minority student population at this university. The award period runs from August 1, 2023 through July 31, 2027.
