This Project Grant award of $406,000.00 was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program. The grant will fund research at Michigan State University to investigate the molecular factors and mechanisms that regulate heterochromatin formation, which is crucial for proper cell development, adaptation, and survival in eukaryotes. The project aims to: (1) test the role of the Elongator complex in regulating heterochromatic small interfering RNAs...
This $1,220,400 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Molecular and Cellular Biosciences supports a collaborative research project between investigators in the U.S. and U.K. to better understand the regulatory mechanisms controlling mammalian gene expression. The project, funded through NSF's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), aims to define the roles of different DNA regulatory elements and how they work together to precisely control gene expression....
This two-year, $1,204,512 National Science Foundation project grant supports research into the robustness and adaptability of the dynamic epigenome through a multiscale approach. Funded under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), the award to Brandeis University involves investigating the fundamental rules that guide adaptive epigenetic changes in cells without alterations to the genetic blueprint. The research utilizes high-resolution imaging, microfluidics, and automated culture...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Molecular and Cellular Biosciences awarded a $221,474 Project Grant to the University of Vermont & State Agricultural College (UVM) for the period of August 1, 2023 to July 31, 2026 under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074). The primary objective of this grant is to enable the principal investigator to acquire expertise in utilizing single-particle cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) techniques to elucidate the molecular structures...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program supports research at The Pennsylvania State University to investigate structural changes in intrinsically disordered proteins associated with the regulation of gene expression. The $776,309 award, made on February 15, 2025, will fund experiments using advanced nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy techniques to characterize how post-translational modifications, such as...
This $804,525 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Molecular and Cellular Biosciences, under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), will fund research exploring the epigenetic mechanisms by which ultraviolet B radiation alters DNA methylation patterns in plants. Specifically, the University of Missouri-St. Louis will investigate how UVB exposure and its photoreceptor interact to change locus- and tissue-specific DNA methylation in Arabidopsis thaliana, and how...
This $452,399 federal Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research at Hofstra University to investigate the epigenetic regulation of transposable elements in maize. The research aims to study the RNA-directed DNA methylation (RDDM) induced by naturally occurring maize "killer" alleles and explore the dynamic regulation of transposable element silencing in response to developmental cues. The project will...
This three-year, $447,650 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will fund research at Emmanuel College analyzing the role of variant polycomb repressive complexes in developmental gene transcription in Drosophila. Undergraduate researchers will use genetic, molecular, and biochemical techniques to characterize a variant PRC1 complex and its role in coordinating cell-type specific transcription critical for normal development. Insights...
