- The National Institute of General Medical Sciences awarded Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai $420,000 on August 1, 2026, under the Biomedical Research and Research Training program (CFDA 93.859) to develop and deploy genetic interaction mapping tools in bacteria. The project will construct a comprehensive genetic interaction network in Escherichia coli by developing a barcoded CRISPR strategy to systematically profile all pairwise genetic interactions (approximately 10 million) and...
- The National Science Foundation Division of Molecular and Cellular Biosciences awarded the University of Massachusetts Medical School $1.261 million on August 1, 2026, under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to conduct collaborative research on the molecular and neural mechanisms controlling circatidal rhythms in the crustacean Parhyale hawaiensis. The research identifies genes that encode the circatidal clock—an internal ~12.4-hour biological timekeeper that enables marine animals...
- The National Science Foundation Division of Molecular and Cellular Biosciences awarded Arizona State University $799,995 on August 1, 2026, under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to establish a quantitative framework for understanding reciprocal interactions between biomolecular condensates and cellular growth. The project will use integrated experimental and computational approaches to determine how cellular growth regulates condensate formation, dissolution, and phase-separation...
- The National Institute of General Medical Sciences awarded Arizona State University $300,000 on August 10, 2026, under the Biomedical Research and Research Training program (CFDA 93.859) to investigate synthetic microbial communities and their ecosystem dynamics. The project develops and characterizes synthetic two-component and higher-order E. coli microbial communities with diverse inter-strain interaction topologies, coupling bacterial toxin-antitoxin systems with quorum sensing to create...
- The National Institute of General Medical Sciences awarded the Board of Regents of the University of Nebraska $1,173,748 on July 10, 2026, under the Biomedical Research and Research Training program (CFDA 93.859) to support Phase 3 of the Nebraska Center for Integrated Biomolecular Communication (NCIBC).

The National Institute of General Medical Sciences awarded Mount Desert Island Biological Laboratory $345,113 on August 1, 2026, under the Biomedical Research and Research Training program (CFDA 93.859) to develop and deliver the Advancing Communication and Engagement in the Sciences (ACES) program. ACES is a nationally accessible, multi-domain science communication training program designed to equip undergraduates, graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and early-career scientists across all biomedical disciplines with communication skills beyond technical writing. The program trains participants in four communication domains: public communication, scientific communication with peer researchers, public outreach, and entrepreneurial communication. ACES integrates instruction in reproducibility, research ethics, responsible artificial intelligence use, and advanced data visualization. The program will be delivered through an annual online science communication course featuring interactive modules and an optional in-person capstone week where participants refine presentations, engage with subject-matter experts, and practice communication strategies in applied settings. The recipient will also build and maintain a publicly accessible resource library supporting ongoing training access. The award obligates $345,113 for performance at Salsbury Cove, Maine, with an ultimate completion date of March 31, 2031.
