This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), under the Environmental Health (CFDA 93.113) federal grant program, provides $535,316.00 to the University of Southern California (USC) to conduct research on the role of a pathogen-encoded DNA polymerase, RUM POL, in driving rapid acquisition of antibiotic resistance in diverse bacterial species. The key objectives of this 5-year research project are to: 1) investigate how RUM POL generates a broad...
This $495,166 Project Grant awarded by the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) under the Biomedical Research and Research Training program (CFDA 93.859) supports a research project at Fordham University titled "Molecular Mechanisms of Y-Family Translesion Polymerase Activity in Bacillus subtilis". The project aims to provide a comprehensive picture of the spatial organization, dynamics, and molecular coordination of the translesion DNA synthesis polymerases Pol Y1...
This $150,000 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program funds research at Vanderbilt University to elucidate the molecular mechanisms of DNA repair by a newly discovered bacterial enzyme. The project aims to understand how this enzyme protects microbes against toxic natural products, with the long-term goals of elucidating bacterial interstrand DNA crosslink repair pathways and discovering new genotoxic agents with...
This $930,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) is focused on advancing the understanding of transcription fidelity mechanisms in eukaryotic RNA polymerases. The project at the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) will employ transient state kinetic approaches to quantify the differences in transcription and error correction mechanisms across the three eukaryotic RNA polymerases (I, II, and III). This research aims...
This Project Grant award of $749,901, funded by the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) under the Environmental Health (CFDA 93.113) program, aims to elucidate the origins of the mutational landscape in cancer. The research project will integrate cellular DNA adductomics, nanopore sequencing, and single-molecule duplex sequencing to investigate how exposure to environmental mutagens, such as 1,2,3-trichloropropane, bromochloroacetic acid, and furan, contributes to the...
This Project Grant award of $541,574 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports a collaborative research project between the University of Massachusetts Medical School (UMass Medical) and the Israeli Binational Science Foundation. The project aims to investigate the effects of transcription factor binding on the accumulation of UV-induced DNA lesions and mutations within the human genome. Key aspects of the project include developing...
This Project Grant award, provided by the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) under the Biomedical Research and Research Training program (CFDA 93.859), supports research into the physiology of oxidative stress in bacteria. The total funding amount is $761,271.00, awarded from July 1, 2025 through June 30, 2030. The research aims to detail the threats that oxygen poses to bacteria, the defensive mechanisms they have evolved, and the situations in which oxidative stress...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.855) will support research to clarify the specialized roles of two DNA polymerase enzymes (PolIB and PolID) in maintaining the essential kinetoplast DNA (kDNA) network of African trypanosomes. The $412,581 award, effective August 1, 2025 through July 31, 2027, will enable researchers at the University of Massachusetts to investigate...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) Biomedical Research and Research Training Program (CFDA 93.859) is providing $420,000 over 3 years (7/2/2024 - 6/30/2027) to Baylor University to characterize the molecular and structural mechanisms that regulate translesion DNA synthesis (TLS) in order to maintain genomic fidelity. The key objectives are to: 1) validate preliminary data showing that specific "kinetic trigger" residues in...
The National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) awarded a Project Grant (CFDA 93.859 - Biomedical Research and Research Training) to The Pennsylvania State University (Penn State) in the amount of $451,802.00, effective February 1, 2025 through January 31, 2030. The grant supports research focused on understanding the structural basis of DNA transcription by cellular and multi-subunit RNA polymerase, which plays a central role in gene expression. Specifically, the research will use...
