- This Project Grant, awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Integrative Activities program (CFDA #47.083), provides $226,840 to Xavier University of Louisiana to understand how a class of enzymes called lysine deacetylases regulate cellular processes. The key activities involve: Identifying the molecular interactions of these enzymes that determine their selectivity for specific protein substrates. Determining the specific enzymes responsible for deacetylating particular acetylated...
The National Science Foundation Division of Undergraduate Education awarded Xavier University of Louisiana $399,750 on September 1, 2026, under the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) to develop and implement a course-based undergraduate research experience (CURE) in genetics that characterizes MSH6 missense variants associated with Lynch syndrome. The project enhances Xavier's existing genetics laboratory course to expand access to meaningful research experiences for undergraduate biology students. Students will work in smaller teams to formulate research questions, conduct laboratory experiments, analyze results, and communicate findings through written reports and oral presentations. The initiative aims to strengthen STEM preparation and success for undergraduate students, particularly in view of pursuing science, technology, engineering, or mathematics graduate programs and careers. The project has the potential to generate new data on genetic variants linked to Lynch syndrome, support student presentations and publications, and provide a scalable, transferable model for other institutions seeking to integrate authentic research into required biology courses and broaden participation in research-based science education and the biotechnology workforce. Period of performance runs September 1, 2026, through August 31, 2029. Work is performed in New Orleans, Louisiana. This award is part of the Historically Black Colleges and Universities Undergraduate Program (HBCU-UP), which supports evidence-based, innovative models and approaches for improving the preparation and success of HBCU undergraduate students in STEM fields.
