This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Molecular and Cellular Biosciences, under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), provides $300,000 to the University of Kansas Center for Research Inc. from February 1, 2023 to January 31, 2025. The award will support research investigating delivery and trafficking of DNA introduced to cells from environmental sources using the genetically tractable organism Caenorhabditis elegans. The project aims to gain new knowledge on genetic manipulation strategies and DNA delivery, with potential outcomes of overcoming barriers to transformation and germline expression. Undergraduate students, including those from underrepresented groups in STEM and small colleges, will gain broader benefits through hands-on experimentation reserved for them under this award.
