The National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) awarded a $399,227 Project Grant under CFDA 93.859 (Biomedical Research and Research Training) to the University of Oregon. The 5-year award, effective August 1, 2025, supports research investigating the mechanisms and consequences of host-pathogen evolution, with a focus on bacterial pathogens of humans. Key objectives include studying how rapid evolution of animal and bacterial cell surface receptors impacts colonization and immune...
The National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) awarded a $422,931 Project Grant (CFDA 93.859 - Biomedical Research and Research Training) to the University of Colorado-Denver on July 1, 2025. The goal of this 5-year research project is to characterize how specialized microbial metabolites mediate interactions within the human microbiome, and how these metabolite-driven community dynamics influence susceptibility to antimicrobial treatments. The research will integrate cheminformatics...
The National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) awarded a $1,338,750 Project Grant to Yale University to conduct research on how gut bacteria can influence host feeding behavior and microbiome assembly using the roundworm Caenorhabditis elegans as a model system. The project aims to develop tools and assays to study the molecular mechanisms by which gut microbes can manipulate host feeding decisions, with the goal of gaining insights that may apply to other host-microbe systems. Key...
This Project Grant award of $463,157 from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) Biomedical Research and Research Training Program (CFDA 93.859) supports a research project to study the interplay between self-organization and the evolution of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in bacterial populations. The project aims to: 1) advance a synthetic mutagenesis system to engineer Vibrio cholerae strains that enable tracking evolutionary processes in space and time, 2) use advanced...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS), under the Biomedical Research and Research Training (CFDA 93.859) federal grant program, provides $395,701 to the University of Texas at Austin over a 5-year period from June 1, 2025 to May 31, 2030. The funding supports research to better understand the interactions between microbes and their animal hosts, with a focus on how microbial communities are shaped and how they affect the health of their hosts,...
The National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) awarded a $1,140,912 Project Grant under the Biomedical Research and Research Training (CFDA 93.859) program to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. The 5-year grant, effective from August 1, 2024 to July 31, 2029, will support research to understand host-microbiome coevolution and genetic variation in immunity using an insect model system. The research program takes advantage of the pea aphid, an insect that reproduces...
This NSF Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Project Grant award of $600,000 to Emory University will investigate how microbiome communities, which are communities of bacteria and other microbes that live in and on organisms, can resist change and transition to alternate states. The project will use the nematode worm Caenorhabditis elegans as a model host to better define the stability and properties of alternate microbiome states, as well as how factors like antibiotic treatment and host...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS), under the Biomedical Research and Research Training (CFDA 93.859) program, provides $550,108 to the University of California, Merced to conduct research on the genetic regulation of microbial community formation, with a focus on biofilms. The project aims to investigate the molecular and mechanistic bases of biofilm development, including how transcriptional networks underlie gene expression during...
This Project Grant award, valued at $133,246, was provided by the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) under the Biomedical Research and Research Training program (CFDA 93.859). The funding will support the development of flexible Bayesian statistical methods to gain a comprehensive understanding of microbial community dynamics using high-throughput sequencing data. The key objectives are to create a general method for inferring microbial community dynamics that vary with...
