- The National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) awarded a $387,500 Project Grant under the Biomedical Research and Research Training (CFDA 93.859) program to The Johns Hopkins University. The award, effective May 1, 2025 through February 28, 2030, supports research to understand the roles of microRNAs in animal development. The project aims to systematically investigate the functions of highly conserved microRNAs during development using the C. elegans model organism. The research...
- This federal Project Grant award of $351,000.00 from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), under the Medical Library Assistance (CFDA 93.879) program, supports research to develop computational, data, and network science tools integrated with a social scientific framework. The goal is to analyze discovery and innovation dynamics in biomedical research and identify emerging opportunities for groundbreaking research, in order to accelerate transformative breakthroughs in...
- The National Science Foundation awarded a $900,000 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) federal grant program to The Johns Hopkins University. The 3-year award, effective September 1, 2025, will fund research to investigate the mechanistic roles of hyper-divergent regions in genomes and their impact on environmental adaptation. The project aims to use cutting-edge genomics, genetic crosses, and high-throughput experiments with nematode species to discover molecular details...
- This $456,500 Project Grant was awarded by the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) under the Environmental Health (CFDA 93.113) Federal Grant Program. The grant aims to identify and characterize the Drosophila (fruit fly) NSE5/6 protein complex, which is a key regulator of the SMC5/6 complex that plays a critical role in the repair of DNA double-strand breaks in heterochromatin regions of the genome. The research will elucidate the mechanisms by which NSE5/6 coordinates...
- The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), through the Medical Library Assistance federal grant program (CFDA 93.879), has awarded a $1,396,731 Project Grant to the University of Pittsburgh. The grant funding will be used to develop a computational framework for quality assessment and curation of models at scale, with a focus on automating the iterative process of assembly, documentation, verification, and validation of models of cell signaling. This project aims to...
The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) awarded a $155,000 Project Grant under the Environmental Health (CFDA 93.113) program to The Johns Hopkins University. The grant will support Michael Sauria, Ph.D., as a Research Software Engineer in the Andersen Lab to oversee the Caenorhabditis Natural Diversity Resource (CaeNDR) project. The key products and services to be delivered include: Overhauling the underlying CaeNDR infrastructure, including rebuilding analysis pipelines to improve robustness, flexibility, and quality assurance, as well as migrating the project from Google Cloud Platform to Amazon Web Services. Developing additional tools and resources for CaeNDR users to better leverage the hosted variation data, such as strain-specific CRISPR-Cas9 guide RNA design, genome-wide association mapping tools for two Caenorhabditis sister species, and evolutionary statistics. Improving the user experience and interface of CaeNDR by creating interactive data exploration tools, guided site/tool walkthroughs, and extensive documentation to support the analysis workflow for this natural diversity resource. The project period runs from Aug 22, 2025 to Jul 31, 2028.
