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...
This $573,937 five-year Project Grant was awarded on February 1, 2024 by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Molecular and Cellular Biosciences under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074). The grant will fund research at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) to understand how changes in DNA structure impact the behavior of synthetic gene circuits and gene expression more broadly. The project aims to develop a better understanding of supercoiling-mediated...
The Trustees of Boston University will use a $638,578 project grant from the National Science Foundation to develop deep learning models for microbial image analysis and time-series predictions under the Biological Sciences program. The three-year award, issued on January 1, 2022 and set to conclude December 31, 2024, will support efforts to promote progress in the biological sciences through increased understanding of major problems confronting the nation. Specifically, the university will...
This $719,884 National Science Foundation project grant supports research to decipher the regulatory DNA logic of the Drosophila innate immune response. Specifically, the grantee will use allele-specific RNA sequencing to characterize natural variation in the transcriptional response to infection between Drosophila melanogaster lines. This will allow identification of genes with expression variation driven by changes in regulatory DNA. In vivo and in vitro functional genomics assays will...
This $196,472 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) supports research by Northwestern University to develop a systematic framework for predicting how biological fitness in eukaryotic model systems is influenced by combinations of mutations and environmental factors, including genetic, chemical-genetic, and drug-drug interactions. The overarching goal is to break down barriers in understanding higher-order...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $367,636 Project Grant to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology from March 1, 2021 through February 29, 2024 under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074). The grant funds collaborative research on multidimensional single-cell phenotyping to elucidate relationships between genomes and phenotypes. The Biological Sciences program aims to advance biological knowledge and understanding of major problems through basic research. This award supports...
This $120,227 project grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program supports research at Northeastern University to develop a new theoretical approach for studying the three-dimensional architecture and conformational ensembles of genes and gene clusters. The project aims to: (i) model the mechanics of chromatin at the gene scale, (ii) investigate how genomic conformations are affected by factors like supercoiling and...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) awarded a $457,300 Project Grant to Virginia Polytechnic Institute & State University (Virginia Tech) to identify mRNA dynamics and cis-regulatory elements that support low-noise gene expression in cells. The key objectives of this 3-year grant are to: 1) develop an adequate expression model for genes exhibiting ultra-low noise levels, and 2) survey hundreds of mammalian genes to determine the prevalence of genes...
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....
The National Science Foundation awarded a two-year Project Grant of $138,000 to Quincy, Massachusetts from July 1, 2021 to June 30, 2023 under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074). The grant will support modeling of the singular and additive effects of various anthropogenic disturbances on genetics using genomics. Most research funded under the Biological Sciences program aims to advance the fundamental biological sciences and enhance understanding of major problems to strengthen the...
