The National Science Foundation Office of Integrative Activities awarded Southern University and A & M College $893,779 on September 1, 2026, under the Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083) to investigate how 6-PPD quinone, a tire-wear environmental contaminant, disrupts molecular processes in human lung epithelial cells, specifically examining the interaction between polycomb repressive complexes and RNA-regulating cellular structures such as stress granules and processing bodies. The project runs through August 31, 2029, with performance at the Scotlandville, Louisiana campus. The collaborative work involves Grambling State University as a research partner. Beyond the primary research objective, the award funds development of research infrastructure, interdisciplinary research training for undergraduate and graduate students, establishment of a pathway from undergraduate education at Grambling State University to doctoral training in environmental toxicology at Southern University, and K-12 STEM outreach activities. The project advances fundamental understanding of how environmental contaminants influence RNA regulation and epigenetic control, providing a scientific foundation for predicting biological effects of emerging contaminants and supporting capacity building in environmental molecular science at an HBCU and 1890 land-grant institution.
