This federal Project Grant award of $597,573.00 was issued by the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) under the Biomedical Research and Research Training program (CFDA 93.859). The award supports advanced structural and dynamic studies of large protein and protein-nucleic acid complexes and assemblies that play key roles in human health and disease. The research aims to provide atomic-level insights into the structure, dynamics, interactions, and function of chromatin...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $955,876 Project Grant to Northwestern University to investigate the role of prion-mediated epigenetic regulation in the budding yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The project, funded through NSF's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), aims to examine how two different yeast prions, [SWI+] and [MOT3+], interact and impact global transcription and protein homeostasis. Using advanced multi-omics techniques, the research program will identify...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program is funding research at the Research Foundation of the City University of New York (RFCUNY), Brooklyn College, to elucidate the epigenetic mechanisms through which prions contribute to cellular adaptation in yeast. The $700,000 project, running from August 2024 to July 2027, aims to: (1) map changes in histone modifications associated with the [PIN+] prion; (2) determine the levels,...
The National Science Foundation Division of Environmental Biology awarded a $358,777 Project Grant to the College of William and Mary under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) to fund collaborative research from July 2022 to June 2026. The research aims to advance understanding of how natural selection impacts prions, which are protein-based infectious agents that can cause diseases like mad cow disease, at multiple levels from molecules to biological communities....
The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) awarded a $909,090 Project Grant under the Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders (CFDA 93.853) federal grant program to the Scripps Research Institute in La Jolla, CA. This grant will fund research focused on developing a therapeutic strategy to treat prion diseases, a rare class of neurodegenerative disorders. The research aims to activate macroautophagy, a cellular process that can...
This $515,504 Project Grant award from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) Biomedical Research and Research Training Program (CFDA 93.859) supports research to investigate the role of phase separation in yeast transcription. The project, titled "Dissecting the Contributions of Phase Separation to Yeast Transcription", aims to characterize how transcription factors, coactivators, and DNA undergo phase separation, and determine the impact of these condensates on...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $1,027,074 Project Grant to Stanford University under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) for work spanning July 15, 2022 to June 30, 2026. The award will support research examining how natural selection impacts prions, which are proteins that can replicate across generations and in some cases cause disease, at multiple levels from molecules to biological communities. Specifically, the grantee will conduct an experimental...
This $237,750 federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) will support research at the University of California, Merced to elucidate the role of the BAF chromatin remodeling complex in experience-induced neuronal gene transcription and synapse maturation, with implications for understanding autism spectrum disorders (ASD). The key objectives are to determine if the neuronal BAF (NBAF) complex, and...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) Biomedical Research and Research Training Program (CFDA 93.859) is supporting research on epigenetic regulation of transcriptional programming at Brigham & Women's Hospital. The $2,720,800 award from July 2024 to May 2029 will fund investigations into how chromatin regulators and transcription factors collaborate to enable the remarkable developmental transitions of a single fertilized egg into a...
This $780,000 Project Grant awarded by the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) under CFDA 93.859 Biomedical Research and Research Training Program will support research to develop new computational tools and methodologies for accurately predicting the functional effects of genetic mutations, with a focus on the chromatin remodeling enzyme SMARCA4. The goal is to improve the interpretation of human genetic variations and enhance the ability to diagnose and treat diseases,...
