The University of South Carolina received a $395,000 Project Grant from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) under the Biomedical Research and Research Training program (CFDA 93.859), effective July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027. The award funds the acquisition and deployment of an Element Biosciences AVITI24 next-generation sequencing (NGS) system for the University of South Carolina Functional Genomics Core (FGC). This system replaces an aging Illumina NextSeq 500 platform and provides comprehensive genomics, transcriptomics, and epigenomics services to a diverse research community, including NIH- and NSF-funded investigators across the USC Columbia campus, regional campuses, and out-of-state collaborators. The AVITI24 system delivers enhanced next-generation sequencing capabilities with improved data quality, operational efficiency, and cost-effectiveness at both small and large project scales. Uniquely among NGS platforms, the system integrates spatial transcriptomics and proteomics capabilities, enabling simultaneous spatial and sequence-based molecular analyses within a single instrument. This integration broadens access to advanced spatial multiomics technologies for early-stage investigators and underrepresented researchers while significantly enhancing the throughput, precision, and affordability of genomic services to support interdisciplinary biomedical research programs and improve competitiveness of the USC research community and regional partners.Federal Project Grant Award Summary
