Dartmouth College received a $690,177 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Division of Molecular and Cellular Biosciences under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), effective May 1, 2026 through April 30, 2030. This collaborative research project delivers scientific research outputs investigating how cells measure and respond to changes in the nuclear-to-cytoplasmic ratio to control zygotic genome activation (ZGA) during early embryonic development. Using Drosophila fruit fly embryos as a model system, the research integrates live imaging technology, genetic analysis, and genomic approaches to identify molecular mechanisms governing the transition from maternally-supplied RNA to embryo-produced RNA. The project systematically identifies genes directly responding to nuclear-to-cytoplasmic ratio changes through analysis of existing RNA sequencing datasets and experimental validation across multiple aims. Beyond research outcomes, the award generates significant workforce development products through interdisciplinary training of graduate students in genomics, quantitative imaging, and computational biology, addressing biotechnology and biomedicine skill gaps. The project also produces educational outreach materials and programming that engage kindergarten through twelfth-grade students with fundamental concepts in biology and genetics. Research findings from this initiative advance understanding of cell size-dependent gene expression coordination, with broad implications for developmental biology and human health applications, particularly regarding developmental disorders and cancer mechanisms.Federal Grant Award Summary
