- This NSF Biological Sciences program award in the amount of $497,509 to the Regents of the University of Minnesota will support collaborative research on how prophages (viruses that infect bacteria) influence the structure and function of animal microbiomes. The project will utilize the invertebrate chordate Ciona robusta and the vertebrate zebrafish Danio rerio as model systems. The research will integrate genetic, predictive modeling, and experimental approaches to study the biology and...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $802,161 Project Grant to the University of Massachusetts Medical School (UMass Medical) to study the structural mechanisms of bacteriophage (phage) infection and assembly. This 3-year grant, effective June 1, 2024, aims to advance the understanding of virus-host interactions, promote the development of effective antiviral strategies, and leverage phage-related applications. The research will focus on three aspects of the phage life cycle: virus...
- This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $880,632 supports research into drivers and effects of latent phage activation in marine SAR11 bacteria. Funded under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), this three-year award to the University of California, Los Angeles will fill critical knowledge gaps about host-virus interactions in the global oceans. Through field surveys, laboratory experiments, and mathematical modeling, the grantee will quantify the frequency of prophage infections...
- The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) awarded The Washington University a Project Grant of $142,492 under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.855) for research spanning from November 1, 2025, through December 31, 2027. The project focuses on developing a high-throughput, single-cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-seq) methodology to identify bacteriophage-host pairs within complex microbial communities. This research addresses a critical gap in...
- The University of South Florida (USF) received a $681,876 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Integrative Organismal Systems under the Biological Sciences grant program (CFDA 47.074). The grant will fund a collaborative research project to investigate how prophages (viruses that infect bacteria) influence the structure and function of animal microbiomes, specifically in Ciona robusta (an invertebrate chordate) and Danio rerio (zebrafish). The project will...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Federal Grant Program provides $987,566 to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) to conduct research on viral self-assembly, from test tube to cell cytoplasm. The award period runs from December 15, 2024 to November 30, 2028. The key objectives of this project are to elucidate the differences between in vitro and in cellulo viral processes by progressively adding molecules...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Molecular and Cellular Biosciences, under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), provides $833,999.00 to Georgia Tech Research Corporation (Georgia TECH) to investigate how defined microbiomes respond to viruses over short and long timescales.
