This Project Grant award from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) Biomedical Research and Research Training Program (CFDA 93.859) provides $370,190 to San Diego State University Foundation to conduct direct measurements of RNA virus nucleocapsid self-assembly and disassembly. The research aims to uncover potentially universal mechanisms of these essential viral processes across multiple RNA-packaging virus types, with a focus on the role of RNA sequence and structure....
This $299,999 National Science Foundation project grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will support research exploring the RNA world and RNA-peptide world hypotheses using a novel dynamic combinatorial chemistry system at the University of Houston, a minority-serving institution. The two-year project beginning August 1, 2022 aims to advance understanding of the role of RNA and peptides in the origins of life. Investigators will employ a system using benzonuclease to cleave...
This $987,566 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will support research on virus self-assembly, from test tube to cell cytoplasm. The research aims to elucidate the fundamental differences between in vitro and in cellulo viral processes by progressively adding molecules that play key roles in the viral life cycle. This will be accomplished through a collaborative project between US and French research groups, who will...
This $360,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) supports collaborative research by professors Eriks Rozners of SUNY at Binghamton and James A. Mackay of Elizabethtown College. The project aims to develop new peptide nucleic acid (PNA) molecules capable of selectively recognizing and binding to double-stranded non-coding RNA. This research addresses an important challenge in RNA biochemistry and could enable...
This $372,210 Project Grant awarded by the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) under CFDA 93.859 Biomedical Research and Research Training program aims to develop synthetic, fluorescent nucleoside analogues and apply them to advance RNA-centered therapeutics. The key products and services to be delivered include: Creating modified antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs) and small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) incorporating fluorescent ribonucleosides to enable live-cell imaging of RNA...
This $469,407 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Molecular and Cellular Biosciences, under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074), will fund research to discover novel functional RNA classes through computational integration of massively parallel RNA-binding protein binding and structure data. The awardee, Georgia Tech Research Corporation, will conduct this research from March 2023 through February 2028. Specifically, the organization will...

The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $919,999 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to the Regents of the University of California at Riverside. This 3-year grant, beginning September 1, 2023, supports research to investigate the evolution and functional role of small regulatory RNAs (sRNAs) in diverse bacterial lineages, particularly those living symbiotically within pest insect hosts. The project aims to determine how sRNA sequence divergence and...
This $750,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program supports the development of a novel platform to enable rapid and robust identification of functional RNA molecules directly within mammalian cellular environments. The research aims to solve the challenge of RNA structure sensitivity to local environments that has hindered progress in the field of functional RNA discovery. The project will deliver a customized...
This $300,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Molecular and Cellular Biosciences will support research into the structural biology of RNA and RNA-protein interactions through May 2024. Funded under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), this award to Vanderbilt University will utilize joint cryo neutron/x-ray crystallography techniques to better understand the importance of the 2'-hydroxyl group in RNA's expanded three-dimensional structure compared to DNA....
