The National Science Foundation (NSF) Office of Integrative Activities awarded $300,000 under the Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083) to the University of Nebraska-Lincoln through an EPSCOR (Experimental Program to Stimulate Competitive Research) Research Fellows project grant, effective May 1, 2026 through April 30, 2028. This award supports the development of an artificial intelligence test platform designed to analyze single-cell protein data in plants, addressing a critical gap in accessibility and usability of emerging proteomics research. The project is conducted in collaboration with Iowa State University. The primary deliverable is a user-friendly AI platform that integrates plant single-cell proteomics and transcriptomics data into a unified analytical framework. Key technical components include plant-specific data standards, scalable computational pipelines, cross-modal embedding methods, machine learning-based imputation, protein-protein interaction network integration, and a web-accessible chatbot-guided interface that translates natural language queries into validated analytical workflows. By reducing the technical barriers to protein data analysis, the platform enables plant scientists without advanced computational training to conduct complex biological investigations. The fellowship also provides targeted workforce development through graduate student training and strengthens research infrastructure and digital agriculture innovation capacity in Nebraska.Federal Grant Award Summary
