The National Science Foundation Division of Chemistry awarded the University of Washington $479,403 on August 15, 2026, under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to develop and optimize mass spectrometry methods for characterizing complex glycoproteins and their heterogeneous glycosylation states. The project will advance ion-ion reactions and tandem mass spectrometry instrumentation through combinations of collision-, electron-, and photon-based gas-phase activation, paired with new informatic strategies to interpret high-dimensional spectral data and extract molecular signatures from complex samples. These methodological advances aim to improve identification of chemical changes across differing glycosylation states, with potential applications to biological discovery, glycoprotein-based pharmaceutical production, and therapeutic development across cancer, infection, and immune function domains. The University of Washington will expand access to science education by growing the Chemistry Frontiers outreach program and creating openly accessible teaching materials on bioanalytical mass spectrometry with hands-on demonstrations for national distribution to students and educators. These efforts target advancement of scientific literacy and broadened participation in STEM, with emphasis on training the next generation of scientists in advanced biotechnology approaches for academic and industrial research careers. Place of performance is Seattle, Washington. The period of performance runs from the award date through July 31, 2031.
