The Johns Hopkins University received a $898,939 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Biological Infrastructure under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), effective August 1, 2026 through July 31, 2029. This award supports critical expansions and improvements to the Caenorhabditis Natural Strain Resource (CaeNSR), a centralized repository and research portal for wild nematode strains used in fundamental biological research. The project strengthens cloud-computing infrastructure through integration with Amazon Web Services' Open Data Initiative to achieve substantial cost savings and website robustness, updates genome-wide association (GWA) mapping tools for three Caenorhabditis species, and implements a simulation framework to support comparative genetic analysis across diverse natural strains. The award funds four user-requested analytical tools: genome-editing capabilities, an RNA-sequencing browser, an interface for user-supplied data integration, and linkage mapping functionality. These enhancements address computational and experimental challenges posed by high levels of genetic variation across wild strains and enable researchers to conduct comparative studies that advance understanding of human genetic diversity and evolutionary processes. By expanding beyond traditional reliance on a single laboratory strain, this initiative supports the broader NSF biotechnology priority area and facilitates population-level and evolutionary genetic research across the established CaeNSR user base.Federal Grant Award Summary
