The University of Florida (UF) received a $400,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences Program (CFDA 47.049). The grant aims to elucidate the underlying "specificity code" that directs the transport of RNA molecules to appropriate locations within cells, a process critical for efficient protein production and biological function. Specifically, the project seeks to 1) identify the interactions between kinesin molecular motors and RNA-binding proteins, and 2) integrate this knowledge with the RNA targets themselves. Success of this research is expected to provide a new field of study, training and outreach opportunities, and publicly shared data and analysis pipelines that will broadly benefit scientific understanding and biotechnology applications. The project will be conducted at UF in Gainesville, FL and is scheduled for completion by July 31, 2028.
