This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $950,000 to The Research Foundation For The State University Of New York from February 2023 through January 2026. The award supports research into regulating iron homeostasis by controlling the fate of intracellular ferritin. A multidisciplinary team will use structural biology, spectroscopy, microscopy, proteomics, and other analytical tools to delineate the mechanisms determining...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) project grant of $1,117,707 awarded to the University of South Carolina aims to better understand how organisms integrate the essential metal iron with core metabolic pathways. The project will use E. coli as a model organism to examine the molecular details of iron-sulfur (Fe-S) cluster formation and trafficking, including the role of monothiol glutaredoxins in this process and their interactions with proteins...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) Project Grant award of $240,000 will fund a 3-year postdoctoral fellowship to research the adaptive response of bacteria to bacteriophage infection and high hydrostatic pressure. The fellow will develop novel fluorescence microscopy techniques to quantify bacterial growth, cell size, and morphology under these environmental stressors using model organisms E. coli, P. aeruginosa, and S. piezotolerans. The project...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $934,613 project grant to Princeton University on July 1, 2021, with a completion date of June 30, 2024. The grant supports research under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to study quorum sensing control of bacterial biofilm formation and dispersal. The funding will allow Princeton University researchers to advance scientific understanding of how bacteria communicate to form biofilms and disperse, with the goal of gaining fundamental...
This $916,578 federal Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports fundamental research to expand understanding of iron adaptation in marine phytoplankton across global oceans. The key objectives are to: Characterize iron storage capacities and limitation thresholds for 20 Synechococcus phytoplankton strains from 11 ecotypes across a range of ocean iron niches. Analyze gene regulation responses to varying iron availability for the 20...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant under the CFDA program "Biological Sciences" (47.074) is awarded to Trustees of Boston University to develop and optimize optogenetic tools for selecting bacterial cells based on dynamic, time-varying traits. The $796,158 award, effective August 1, 2023 through July 31, 2026, supports the researchers in creating light-inducible genetic constructs that trigger antibiotic resistance, enabling the isolation of bacteria exhibiting...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $626,831 Project Grant under its Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee (UWM) to conduct collaborative research on the molecular mechanisms behind how certain bacteria use light-sensing proteins called phytochromes to regulate essential developmental processes. The project aims to use advanced structural biology techniques like cryo-electron microscopy and time-resolved X-ray crystallography to study...
This $824,656 Federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund a 3-year research project at the University of Washington to investigate how iron availability impacts the ability of heterotrophic bacteria in the ocean's "twilight zone" to consume organic carbon. The research team will use a combination of lab studies and field experiments to test three hypotheses on how iron co-limitation affects bacterial carbon...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $501,629 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to Stockton University to conduct a biogeochemical study of bog iron in the New Jersey Pine Barrens. The 3-year project, running from June 2024 to May 2027, will identify the bacterial communities that thrive on iron in the Pine Barrens' acidic bog iron seeps and examine how these bacteria chemically alter iron. The research will establish observatories at three historic...
The Trustees of Princeton University were awarded a $799,999 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Emerging Frontiers under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074). The grant will fund collaborative research from September 2021 to August 2026 titled "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: MIM: LEARNING HOW MUCUS SHAPES AND MAINTAINS MICROBIOMES." The Biological Sciences program aims to promote advancement in the biological sciences and strengthen the...
