The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a Project Grant under the Integrative Activities (IA) program (CFDA 47.083) to the Board of Regents of the University of Nebraska, doing business as the University of Nebraska, in the amount of $145,150 on April 15, 2024. This 2-year project will provide a fellowship to an Assistant Research Professor at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln to conduct collaborative research with the University of Washington. The project aims to determine how host-microbiota co-adaptations affect the assembly of gut microbial communities and alter host development, particularly in mouse species closely related to the widely-used laboratory mouse strain. It will generate new germ-free mouse models and critical data on host-microbe interactions, immune responses, and the potential for therapeutic applications. The project will enhance the University of Nebraska's gnotobiotic mouse program capabilities and expand research capacity in Nebraska and the Midwest region.
