Florida State University received a $864,959 CAREER (Faculty Early Career Development) Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Environmental Biology under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) effective July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2031. The award supports fundamental research investigating causal relationships between epigenetic regulation, gene expression, and phenotypic diversity in Caenorhabditis elegans nematodes. The project will examine why genetically identical individuals exhibit substantial differences in traits such as fertility and lifespan despite identical genetics and environmental conditions, and how non-genetic differences that arise in one generation propagate to subsequent generations. The research deliverables will advance understanding of how DNA and other factors interact to control variation among genetically identical organisms through a comprehensive experimental program. Outputs will include scientific data, novel methodologies, and findings addressing three key research questions: (1) what drives phenotypic variability across isogenic individuals in controlled environments; (2) how isogenic but epigenetically distinct populations differentially evolve; and (3) how phenotypes are inherited across generations. This research contributes to national scientific progress in biotechnology and artificial intelligence while advancing understanding of disease mechanisms that depend on interactions between genetic and non-genetic factors.Federal Grant Award Summary
