The University of Michigan received a $862,279 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Molecular and Cellular Biosciences under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), effective June 1, 2026 through May 31, 2029. This award funds fundamental research investigating RNA-RNA interactions that regulate virulence gene expression in Listeria monocytogenes, a foodborne bacterial pathogen of significant public health concern. The research will develop novel structural approaches to characterize RNA conformational dynamics and molecular recognition mechanisms, yielding new methodologies for studying RNA structure-function relationships. Research deliverables will advance understanding of how noncoding RNAs coordinate the expression of bacterial virulence genes and generate data suitable for artificial intelligence-enabled structural modeling and engineering of RNA-based biosensors for biotechnology applications. In addition to research outputs, the award integrates education and workforce development activities, with deliverables including research training and mentoring for high school, undergraduate, and graduate students at the University of Michigan's Ann Arbor campus. The project will provide full-time research opportunities for high school students preparing for science, technology, engineering, and mathematics careers, while graduate students will receive training in science communication and develop inquiry-based educational activities to communicate research findings to the general public.Federal Grant Award Summary
