The National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) awarded Georgia Southern University Research & Service Foundation Inc. a $280,170 Project Grant on July 15, 2026, under the Biomedical Research and Research Training program (CFDA 93.859) to support MYCO-ED: A National Platform Bringing Fungal Genomics to the Future Biomedical Workforce. The award funds the expansion and dissemination of the Mycological Curriculum for Education and Discovery (MYCO-ED) program through May 31, 2031. MYCO-ED delivers course-based undergraduate research experiences (CUREs) that provide hands-on training in fungal isolation, sequencing, phenotyping, and genomic analysis to biomedical science undergraduate students and instructors across the United States. The MYCO-ED program addresses a critical workforce gap by making freely available, widely accessible resources that expose students to mycology and multi-omics data analysis—areas substantially underrepresented in traditional biomedical science curricula. The curriculum has been piloted across 15 classrooms at 12 institutions, ranging from online e-campuses to R1 universities, reaching hundreds of students nationwide. By expanding this initiative, the project aims to build a mycologically-literate future biomedical workforce capable of advancing pharmaceutical discovery and addressing emerging fungal pathogens such as Aspergillosis, Mucormycosis, and Cryptococcosis that pose particular threats to immunocompromised populations.Federal Grant Award Summary
