- The National Cancer Institute awarded The Broad Institute, Inc. $694,642 on August 1, 2026, under the Cancer Biology Research program (CFDA 93.396) to develop live-cell RNA sequencing with single-cell resolution. The project addresses a fundamental limitation in molecular omics measurement: current approaches require cell destruction through lysis, extraction, or fixation to detect molecular contents at high multiplexity, preventing serial measurement of living cells to monitor dynamic processes...
- The National Institute of General Medical Sciences awarded Northeastern University $440,000 on September 1, 2026, under the Biomedical Research and Research Training program (CFDA 93.859) to develop IMAGE-SEQ, a platform integrating high-resolution in vivo optical imaging with spatially resolved single-cell transcriptomics. The award funds three major expansions of the technology: integration with single-cell proteomics to capture protein-level signaling events and define how proliferative...
- The National Institute of General Medical Sciences, a component of the Department of Health and Human Services, awarded $440,465 to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology on July 1, 2026, under the Biomedical Research and Research Training program (CFDA 93.859) to develop biophysical models of genome folding and function. Over the five-year performance period ending February 28, 2031, the award funds research into chromosome architecture and the mechanisms that shape it—motor-driven loop...
- The National Institute of General Medical Sciences awarded Boston Children's Hospital $2.563 million on September 1, 2026, under the Biomedical Research and Research Training program (CFDA 93.859) to expand the biological capabilities of image-based transcriptomics by targeting short, homologous, and synthetic transcripts.

- The National Institute of General Medical Sciences awarded the University of Massachusetts Boston $425,333 on March 1, 2026, under the Biomedical Research and Research Training program (CFDA 93.859) to support research on cellular and molecular mechanisms of stem and progenitor cell development during tissue homeostasis and after injury. The research uses the Drosophila melanogaster blood system as a model to examine how multiple cell types within stem and progenitor cell niches use inflammatory...
- The National Institute of General Medical Sciences awarded the Trustees of Boston University $899,250 on September 15, 2025, under the Biomedical Research and Research Training program (CFDA 93.859) to develop new computational-experimental approaches for measuring and modeling gene expression trajectories at the single-cell level. The research integrates experimental systems biology and genomics with machine learning and data science to track RNA production, processing, and degradation rates....
The National Institute of General Medical Sciences awarded The Broad Institute, Inc. $464,032 on August 1, 2026, under the Biomedical Research and Research Training program (CFDA 93.859) to develop computational methods for mapping intercellular circuits governing complex tissues, specifically mucosal epithelia in the intestine, airway, nose, urogenital tract, and related barrier surfaces. The project addresses two key analytical challenges: uncovering intercellular regulatory signals that govern shifts in mucosal epithelial cell composition, and resolving technical artifacts that hinder analysis of single-cell RNA-sequencing and spatial transcriptomics data. The work builds on recent discoveries of rare mucosal cell types—ionocytes and tuft cells—and recognizes that intercellular signaling networks tightly regulate the dynamic cellular composition of mucosal tissues across organ systems. The research will generate computational tools to understand how cell type abundance and specialization are tuned, reconfigure in response to environmental challenges, and shift in disease states. Work is performed at the Broad Institute's Cambridge, Massachusetts location. The period of performance runs from August 1, 2026, through July 31, 2031. The award is structured as a project grant, the standard assistance type for investigator-initiated research under NIGMS's portfolio.
