The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $240,000 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to fund an NSF Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Biology for FY 2023. The fellowship supports research and training that will contribute to the NSF's "Rules of Life" initiative, focusing on the physiological implications of long-term hypoxia (low oxygen) exposure on marine fish, particularly the stickleback. The research will investigate the plastic response of...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a Project Grant under the Integrative Activities (CFDA 47.083) program to the University of Delaware, with a total funding amount of $400,000 and a project duration from March 15, 2025, to February 28, 2030. The project, titled "CAREER: Bacterial Cytochrome C Biogenesis Synthase Function, Specificity and Evolution," aims to obtain a detailed, mechanistic understanding of the bacterial System II cytochrome C biogenesis pathway through...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) Project Grant award of $352,969 to Hofstra University will investigate the relationships between microbial plankton communities and coastal hypoxia (low dissolved oxygen) in Long Island Sound, New York. The project aims to quantify changes in the structure and functioning of bacterial, archaeal, and microbial eukaryotic communities across periods of hypoxia and normoxia. The research will combine field work,...
This federal Project Grant award for $1,188,381.00, made by the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) under the Biomedical Research and Research Training program (CFDA 93.859), aims to harness evolutionary adaptation to identify novel molecular mechanisms modulating the environmental stress response. The research will focus on studying protein-level mechanisms regulating cytoprotective programs in animal specialists, such as fishes, whales, and birds, that have evolved to...
This $899,894 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Integrative Activities (IA) program, CFDA 47.083, will support research to characterize the structure, membrane topology, substrate specificity, and biochemical properties of a unique mitochondrial HAD phosphatase enzyme in a divergent unicellular organism. The project aims to elucidate the dual functional roles of this enzyme, which may provide insights into the broader cellular functions of the related TIM50 protein...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $510,011 was awarded to the University of Houston under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) to support research on the oligomeric stoichiometry of superoxide dismutase 1 and its role in neuronal antioxidant defense. Specifically, the grantee will develop a quantitative single-molecule approach to quantify changes in superoxide dismutase 1 oligomerization in the cell nucleus, cytosol, and mitochondria under various...
This $900,052 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Molecular and Cellular Biosciences will fund research into the molecular mechanisms governing cytoskeleton-mediated motility and distribution of peroxisomes and mitochondria in plants. The grant supports three years of collaborative research between Michigan State University and its sub-awardee to advance understanding of how these organelles recruit cytoskeletal motor proteins for directional transport along...
The National Science Foundation awarded Oregon State University a three-year $598,439 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) from August 1, 2021 to July 31, 2024. The grant funds research into the evolutionary genetics of an alternative molecular mechanism of hypoxia response in metazoans. The Biological Sciences program aims to promote progress in the biological sciences and strengthen the nation's scientific enterprise through increasing scientific...
This $999,996 Project Grant award, provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), supports fundamental research aimed at generating "designer mitochondria" for biotechnology, healthcare, and basic research applications. The key objectives are to identify the factors required for human mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) replication and characterize the mechanisms underlying the species-specificity of this process. This work represents a critical step...
This $1,000,000 four-year Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will fund research at Northeastern University exploring the role of mitochondria in regulating cell fate decisions during early mammalian development. Specifically, the researchers will test the hypothesis that differential allocation of mitochondrial subtypes, which vary in biochemical properties and protein content including levels of the transcription factor TEAD4,...
