This Project Grant award from the Department of Defense's Basic, Applied, and Advanced Research in Science and Engineering program (CFDA 12.630) provides $999,068.00 to Nova Southeastern University, Inc. to research "Quorum Sensing as a Regulator of Metabolism in Pseudomonas aeruginosa to Facilitate Growth and Survival in Challenging Environments." The award period runs from May 1, 2025 through April 30, 2029.

The project aims to investigate how the bacterial species Pseudomonas aeruginosa utilizes quorum sensing, a communication mechanism, to regulate its metabolism and improve survival in demanding environmental conditions. This research has potential defense and civilian applications in areas like environmental biotechnology and resilience. As a private, non-profit Hispanic-serving institution, Nova Southeastern University has a strong track record of federal grant awards and contracts supporting scientific research, particularly in marine sciences, public health, and interdisciplinary fields.
