The National Science Foundation's Division of Molecular and Cellular Biosciences awarded a CAREER grant totaling $886,687 to the Stowers Institute for Medical Research on July 15, 2026, under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074). This five-year project, with completion targeted for June 30, 2031, focuses on elucidating the molecular mechanisms of the Ribosome Assembly Surveillance Pathway (RASP), through which cells detect and eliminate defective ribosome assembly intermediates. The research will examine the selective recognition of faulty ribosomes and their targeted destruction, with emphasis on characterizing a scaffold protein hypothesized to recruit degradation machinery to aberrant pre-ribosomes. Understanding these quality control mechanisms has potential applications in explaining complex diseases such as cancer and improving human health outcomes. In addition to advancing fundamental scientific discovery, the project includes significant educational and outreach components that support NSF's biotechnology priorities. The award will fund hands-on research training for undergraduate students in biotechnology and medicine, while also supporting a public engagement initiative bringing science education to Kansas City public schools through zebrafish-based learning activities. This integrated approach combines basic research with workforce development and science education, addressing gaps in understanding ribosome biogenesis while building the pipeline of future scientists in the Kansas City region.Federal Project Grant Award Summary
