The goal of the conference is to disseminate information about fungal biology among an interdisciplinary group of researchers, and to increase our collective understanding of basic fungal biology and its application to socially important problems. Fungi are essential parts of the terrestrial nutrient cycle, play a central role in the development of biofuels, and produce many critically important chemicals. These diverse applications of fungi require the interdisciplinary acquisition and application of fundamental fungal biology. This project will support the convergence and exchange of new findings amongst an interdisciplinary group of scientists dedicated to the study of fungi. \n\nThe intellectual merit of the project is rooted in the meeting's highly interdisciplinary and interactive format. The meeting will feature topics that integrate multiple time and space scales for different questions in fungal biology to promote interactions amongst researchers with diverse perspectives within the community. There is a specific emphasis on integrating mathematical modeling and biophysics as a new addition to this meeting and an entire session is dedicated to the interface of fungal biology with the physical sciences. The meeting enables cross-fertilization of ideas, from cell biology to evolution, that occurs in and outside of the sessions and especially between junior and senior scientists. Young investigators emphasize from previous meetings how interactive the conference is and how responsive it is to the presentation of their work.\n\nThis conference has broad impacts on training and is dedicated to extending the research community by emphasizing women and members of underrepresented groups in inviting speakers. The current invited speakers are approximately 50% women, including several Latinas. The small size of the meeting and the emphasis on discussion (40% of meeting time is dedicated to discussions) encourages active participation. Poster sessions are featured without competing events to focus attention on the most junior scientists, who often have the newest data. The GRC on Cell and Molecular Fungal Biology also is dedicated to research that applies basic knowledge to socially important questions involving filamentous fungi, particularly mutualisms with plants (mycorrhizae), parasitism with plants (plant pathology) and animals (animal pathology), and industrial mycology (enzyme production). The interactions among researchers focused on both basic and socially important research speeds research aimed at solving societal problems caused by or that can be improved by fungi.", "keywords": [], "approved": true } }, { "type": "Grant", "id": "9472", "attributes": { "award_id": "6U48DP006382-02M002", "title": "Connecting Behavioral Science to COVID-19 Vaccine Demand (CBS-CVD) Network Supplement for PRC - Increasing Effective Mental Health Care for LGBT Clients", "funder": { "id": 4, "ror": "https://ror.org/01cwqze88", "name": "National Institutes of Health", "approved": true }, "funder_divisions": [], "program_reference_codes": [], "program_officials": [], "start_date": "2019-09-30", "end_date": "2024-09-29", "award_amount": 500000, "principal_investigator": { "id": 25187, "first_name": "BRADLEY O", "last_name": "BOEKELOO", "orcid": null, "emails": "", "private_emails": "", "keywords": null, "approved": true, "websites": null, "desired_collaboration": null, "comments": null, "affiliations": [ { "id": 1021, "ror": "", "name": "UNIV OF MARYLAND, COLLEGE PARK", "address": "", "city": "", "state": "MD", "zip": "", "country": "United States", "approved": true } ] }, "other_investigators": [], "awardee_organization": { "id": 1021, "ror": "", "name": "UNIV OF MARYLAND, COLLEGE PARK", "address": "", "city": "", "state": "MD", "zip": "", "country": "United States", "approved": true }, "abstract": null, "keywords": [], "approved": true } }, { "type": "Grant", "id": "1280", "attributes": { "award_id": "2032016", "title": "RAPID: Interaction of the Coronavirus M protein with a Myosin V motor protein", "funder": { "id": 3, "ror": "https://ror.org/021nxhr62", "name": "National Science Foundation", "approved": true }, "funder_divisions": [ "Biological Sciences (BIO)" ], "program_reference_codes": [ "096Z", "7465", "7914" ], "program_officials": [ { "id": 3294, "first_name": "Matt", "last_name": "Buechner", "orcid": null, "emails": "", "private_emails": "", "keywords": null, "approved": true, "websites": null, "desired_collaboration": null, "comments": null, "affiliations": [] } ], "start_date": "2020-08-01", "end_date": "2021-07-31", "award_amount": 200000, "principal_investigator": { "id": 3295, "first_name": "James", "last_name": "Goldenring", "orcid": null, "emails": "[email protected]", "private_emails": "", "keywords": null, "approved": true, "websites": null, "desired_collaboration": null, "comments": null, "affiliations": [ { "id": 456, "ror": "https://ror.org/05dq2gs74", "name": "Vanderbilt University Medical Center", "address": "", "city": "", "state": "TN", "zip": "", "country": "United States", "approved": true } ] }, "other_investigators": [], "awardee_organization": { "id": 456, "ror": "https://ror.org/05dq2gs74", "name": "Vanderbilt University Medical Center", "address": "", "city": "", "state": "TN", "zip": "", "country": "United States", "approved": true }, "abstract": "The COVID-19 coronavirus represents one of the most acute and dangerous threat to global health in a century. The present COVID-19 outbreak is caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus and is exacerbated by our present inability to inhibit the assembly of virus inside cells, which affects the spread of coronavirus within human patients. SARS-Cov-2 is a member of a family of related coronaviruses that includes SARS, MERS, and Mouse Hepatitis Virus (MHV). These are RNA viruses wrapped in a lipid membrane, which has a number of different proteins embedded in it. In general however, relatively little is known about how viral proteins are packaged together inside human cells to assemble coronavirus particles. This lack of knowledge impedes the development of strategies that could target the assembly of virus particles inside human cells. However, one membrane protein encoded by the virus, designated the M protein because of its membrane association, serves as the starting seed for the assembly of all the other coronavirus proteins. It has recently been discovered that the tail of the MHV version of the M protein can interact with a motor protein used for trafficking inside human cells. Because the sequence of the M-protein tails in this class of coronaviruses is very conserved, this project seeks to determine if this interaction is generalizable among SARS-CoV-2, and other related coronaviruses. If this interaction is present in SARS-CoV-2, then this project will identify the parts of the M protein that interact with the myosin motor. This would allow future research to evaluate drugs that can interrupt this interaction, which may alter the ability of the SARS-CoV-2 and other coronaviruses to assemble and spread. As a Broader Impact, the Project will provide critically needed information for fight the Covid-19 pandemic. Relatively little is known about the processes required for the assembly of coronavirus virions in human cells. The family of beta-coronaviruses, including SARS-CoV-2, SARS, MERS and MHV all utilize a similar compendium of proteins, including a membrane glycoprotein protein, termed the M protein. M protein serves as the nidus for assembly of other coronavirus proteins into the mature virus particle. This project seeks to expand on the recent finding that the M-protein of MHV interacts with a specific 26 amino acid alternatively spliced exon of Myosin Vb (MYO5B), termed exon D. This observation is the first to identify a key intracellular trafficking protein that interacts with the M protein. This project seeks to identify whether this interaction is preserved in the M proteins of other beta-coronavirus family members, including the SARS-CoV-2 virus. The Project will also determine the molecular basis of the interaction between M protein and Exon D of MYO5B. The Project will first utilize yeast 2-hybrid assays to evaluate the binding of the internal tails of SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19), SARS and MERS and other related coronaviruses. Second, random mutagenesis of the coronavirus tails will be utilized to determine the common amino acid motifs used for interaction with MYO5B Exon D. Third, wild type and mutant coronavirus proteins will be expressed in HeLa cells, and mutations that block interactions with MYO5B on M protein will be evaluated for their effects on trafficking through the endoplasmic reticulum, the Golgi apparatus and to the plasma membrane. If verified with the SARS-CoV-2 M protein, the site of interaction with MYO5b Exon D could be utilized as a target for disruption of the assembly of coronavirus virions. This RAPID Project is expected to provide insights for the future development of molecular strategies to disrupt virion assembly in host cells, which could lead to new therapeutics for the treatment of Covid-19.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.", "keywords": [], "approved": true } }, { "type": "Grant", "id": "10752", "attributes": { "award_id": "2235455", "title": "DREAM Sentinels: Selection of aptamers that target viral variants with high specificity", "funder": { "id": 3, "ror": "https://ror.org/021nxhr62", "name": "National Science Foundation", "approved": true }, "funder_divisions": [ "Engineering (ENG)", "BIOSENS-Biosensing" ], "program_reference_codes": [], "program_officials": [ { "id": 961, "first_name": "Aleksandr", "last_name": "Simonian", "orcid": null, "emails": "", "private_emails": "", "keywords": null, "approved": true, "websites": null, "desired_collaboration": null, "comments": null, "affiliations": [] } ], "start_date": "2023-01-01", "end_date": "2025-12-31", "award_amount": 640000, "principal_investigator": { "id": 1593, "first_name": "Hsin-Chih", "last_name": "Yeh", "orcid": null, "emails": "[email protected]", "private_emails": "", "keywords": null, "approved": true, "websites": null, "desired_collaboration": null, "comments": null, "affiliations": [ { "id": 156, "ror": "", "name": "University of Texas at Austin", "address": "", "city": "", "state": "TX", "zip": "", "country": "United States", "approved": true } ] }, "other_investigators": [ { "id": 26813, "first_name": "Yi", "last_name": "Lu", "orcid": null, "emails": "", "private_emails": "", "keywords": null, "approved": true, "websites": null, "desired_collaboration": null, "comments": null, "affiliations": [] } ], "awardee_organization": { "id": 156, "ror": "", "name": "University of Texas at Austin", "address": "", "city": "", "state": "TX", "zip": "", "country": "United States", "approved": true }, "abstract": "To combat infectious diseases, this project will develop a versatile platform that has a much shorter turn-around time in generating a new capture molecule that specifically binds a new viral variant with high affinity. The investigators will further convert the captured molecule into a sensor for virus detection, and also turn it into a blocking molecule to neutralize the virus. The current selection process is time-consuming and labor intensive. The goal of this project is to develop a streamlined process that can rapidly target emerging viral variants with high affinity and specificity. The proposed work will advance our knowledge in virus sensing and therapeutics, establishing a quick-responsive biosensing/actuating All-In-One platform that can be easily adapted to address future infectious diseases. To increase impact, the investigators will work with local K-12 students in several outreach programs, with the goal of training the students to develop novel tools and encouraging them into a career path in science, technology, engineering and mathematics.\n\nDevelopment of aptamer sensors and therapeutics is hampered by the bottleneck in the workflow of current gold standard SELEX (systematic evolution of ligands by exponential enrichment), especially the counterselection process, which aims to eliminate the candidates that bind structurally similar relatives of the target. While the counterselection is key to selecting highly specific aptamers against a specific target, it is a time-consuming, labor-intensive process that often fails. To address this issue, this project will combine SELEX workflow with a complementary high-throughput chip selection approach that can fully characterize the binding affinity, kinetics and specificity of each aptamer variant in the library against a number of structurally similar viral targets. This total-analysis approach not only bypasses the need to perform counterselections but also allows selection of aptamers that can differentiate structurally similar viral targets. The virus-binding aptamers will then be integrated with novel fluorogenic aptamer design to create new sensors that light up upon binding the target viruses and can be turned into virus inhibitors that bind and block the receptor-binding domain (RBD) of the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein from interacting with the angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) receptors on human host cells. The proposed research thus has both biosensing and bioactuation components that address new biological threats.\n\nThis award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.", "keywords": [], "approved": true } }, { "type": "Grant", "id": "3840", "attributes": { "award_id": "1707069", "title": "WERF: Determining the fate and major removal mechanisms of microplastics in water and resource recovery facilities", "funder": { "id": 3, "ror": "https://ror.org/021nxhr62", "name": "National Science Foundation", "approved": true }, "funder_divisions": [ "Engineering (ENG)", "EnvE-Environmental Engineering" ], "program_reference_codes": [], "program_officials": [ { "id": 12614, "first_name": "Mamadou", "last_name": "Diallo", "orcid": null, "emails": "", "private_emails": "", "keywords": null, "approved": true, "websites": null, "desired_collaboration": null, "comments": null, "affiliations": [] } ], "start_date": "2017-08-01", "end_date": "2021-07-31", "award_amount": 304892, "principal_investigator": { "id": 12616, "first_name": "Belinda", "last_name": "Sturm", "orcid": null, "emails": "", "private_emails": "", "keywords": null, "approved": true, "websites": null, "desired_collaboration": null, "comments": null, "affiliations": [ { "id": 415, "ror": "", "name": "University of Kansas Center for Research Inc", "address": "", "city": "", "state": "KS", "zip": "", "country": "United States", "approved": true } ] }, "other_investigators": [ { "id": 12615, "first_name": "Edward", "last_name": "Peltier", "orcid": null, "emails": "", "private_emails": "", "keywords": null, "approved": true, "websites": null, "desired_collaboration": null, "comments": null, "affiliations": [] } ], "awardee_organization": { "id": 415, "ror": "", "name": "University of Kansas Center for Research Inc", "address": "", "city": "", "state": "KS", "zip": "", "country": "United States", "approved": true }, "abstract": "Proposal: 1707069\nPI: Belinda Sturm\n\nThe focus of this project is the fate of microplastics (plastics < 5mm) in the liquid and biosolids discharged from water resource and recovery facilities (WRRFs). Microplastics are typically entrained within activated sludge and ultimately released to the environment through biosolids. The detrimental effects of plastics on marine vertebrates is well-documented and a major environmental concern. In this project the transport pathways for plastics will be identified. The results of this study will help reduce harmful marine ecosystem impacts. The PIs will engage municipalities through a full-scale sampling campaign and will disseminate the data in a web-based database that is publically accessible. They will continue to collaborate with high school teachers to refine teaching modules dealing with topics focused on microplastics and emerging contaminants.\n\nMicroplastics are likely to be removed when they are adsorbed or entrained within the activated sludge floc structure. The main hypothesis is that the sludge structure and extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) content are controlling variables to microplastic removal. In particular, the assumption is that microbial aggregates with high surface areas and high EPS content can capture more microplastics. To test this hypothesis the PIs will conduct a survey of select WRRFs with different primary and secondary treatment processes. To further quantify microplastics capture efficiencies, the PIs will determine the effect of EPS on microplastic adsorption and retention efficiency within lab-scale and pilot-scale reactors and compare conventional and aerobic granular sludge processes for microplastic adsorption. The activated sludge process, and particularly gravity sedimentation, was not designed to remove low density microplastic particles. Microplastics are likely to be removed when they are adsorbed or entrained within the activated sludge floc structure. As microplastic loads to WRRFs increase, it is important to study the effect of niche separation of microplastic-associated microorganisms on activated sludge process performance. One outcome of the research will be a better understanding the fate of microplastics in WRRFs. Results of this project will provide a framework for comprehensive management of microplastics contamination in WRRFs.", "keywords": [], "approved": true } }, { "type": "Grant", "id": "1792", "attributes": { "award_id": "2028981", "title": "RAPID: Procedural Changes in State Courts During COVID-19", "funder": { "id": 3, "ror": "https://ror.org/021nxhr62", "name": "National Science Foundation", "approved": true }, "funder_divisions": [ "Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (SBE)" ], "program_reference_codes": [ "096Z", "7914", "9178" ], "program_officials": [ { "id": 4728, "first_name": "Naomi", "last_name": "Hall-Byers", "orcid": null, "emails": "", "private_emails": "", "keywords": null, "approved": true, "websites": null, "desired_collaboration": null, "comments": null, "affiliations": [] } ], "start_date": "2020-04-15", "end_date": "2021-03-31", "award_amount": 34712, "principal_investigator": { "id": 4729, "first_name": "Alyx", "last_name": "Mark", "orcid": null, "emails": "[email protected]", "private_emails": "", "keywords": null, "approved": true, "websites": null, "desired_collaboration": null, "comments": null, "affiliations": [ { "id": 677, "ror": "https://ror.org/05h7xva58", "name": "Wesleyan University", "address": "", "city": "", "state": "CT", "zip": "", "country": "United States", "approved": true } ] }, "other_investigators": [], "awardee_organization": { "id": 677, "ror": "https://ror.org/05h7xva58", "name": "Wesleyan University", "address": "", "city": "", "state": "CT", "zip": "", "country": "United States", "approved": true }, "abstract": "State courts are rapidly changing their operating procedures in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. As courthouses close their doors to the public, judges, administrators, and staff are developing and implementing policies that are responsive to the needs of people who otherwise would rely on in-person court processes for remedies to their civil legal problems. The COVID-19 pandemic provides a unique opportunity to study the generation and consequences of massive change and innovation to court policies and procedures across the United States. This RAPID project will investigate the processes underlying the development of these major institutional changes as state courts respond to the challenges of remote operations during COVID-19, how the various changes are implemented, and the effect of these changes on access to justice for state court consumer populations.By taking advantage of the unique circumstance of forced innovation during COVID-19, the project will examine the procedural changes state courts craft in their move to remote operations. Employing a mixed-method approach, the research will catalogue the rapidly evolving COVID-19 responses in the states. The project will include surveys and interviews of court administrators, judges, and staff about their involvement in the changes and their attitudes about institutional design and implementation. Further, the project will analyze how these changes influence outcomes and processes on state court staff and consumers. By testing theories of institutional arrangements and design, findings from the project will provide an understanding of the external and internal forces that drive institutional change, how policies disperse and replicate across states, and the consequences of institutional design and changes thereto for access to justice during COVID-19.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.", "keywords": [], "approved": true } }, { "type": "Grant", "id": "12544", "attributes": { "award_id": "2229975", "title": "Collaborative Research: CyberTraining: Pilot: Operationalizing AI/Machine Learning for Cybersecurity Training", "funder": { "id": 3, "ror": "https://ror.org/021nxhr62", "name": "National Science Foundation", "approved": true }, "funder_divisions": [ "Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE)", "CyberTraining - Training-based" ], "program_reference_codes": [], "program_officials": [], "start_date": "2023-01-01", "end_date": null, "award_amount": 0, "principal_investigator": { "id": 28473, "first_name": "Houbing", "last_name": "Song", "orcid": null, "emails": "", "private_emails": "", "keywords": null, "approved": true, "websites": null, "desired_collaboration": null, "comments": null, "affiliations": [] }, "other_investigators": [], "awardee_organization": { "id": 315, "ror": "", "name": "Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University", "address": "", "city": "", "state": "FL", "zip": "", "country": "United States", "approved": true }, "abstract": "The interplay between AI and cybersecurity introduces new opportunities and challenges in the cybersecurity of AI as well as AI for cybersecurity.

The project team will also develop a website with videos of all presentations, conference documentation, resources, and links to social media communities; and a post-conference publication mapping the state of the field, key findings, and promising technologies. \n\nThe initiative also has a goal to broaden participation, as the attendees will include a diverse cadre of professionals in the field who contribute to data visualization work.\n\nThis award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.", "keywords": [], "approved": true } }, { "type": "Grant", "id": "4608", "attributes": { "award_id": "1439327", "title": "CISE/CCF: 2014 Summer School on Formal Techniques", "funder": { "id": 3, "ror": "https://ror.org/021nxhr62", "name": "National Science Foundation", "approved": true }, "funder_divisions": [ "Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE)", "Software & Hardware Foundation" ], "program_reference_codes": [], "program_officials": [ { "id": 15901, "first_name": "Nina", "last_name": "Amla", "orcid": null, "emails": "", "private_emails": "", "keywords": null, "approved": true, "websites": null, "desired_collaboration": null, "comments": null, "affiliations": [] } ], "start_date": "2014-04-01", "end_date": "2015-03-31", "award_amount": 85000, "principal_investigator": { "id": 15902, "first_name": "Natarajan", "last_name": "Shankar", "orcid": null, "emails": "", "private_emails": "", "keywords": null, "approved": true, "websites": null, "desired_collaboration": null, "comments": null, "affiliations": [ { "id": 325, "ror": "https://ror.org/05s570m15", "name": "SRI International", "address": "", "city": "", "state": "CA", "zip": "", "country": "United States", "approved": true } ] }, "other_investigators": [], "awardee_organization": { "id": 325, "ror": "https://ror.org/05s570m15", "name": "SRI International", "address": "", "city": "", "state": "CA", "zip": "", "country": "United States", "approved": true }, "abstract": "Formal verification techniques such as model checking, satisfiability solving, theorem proving, and static analysis have matured rapidly in recent years. These techniques have a number of important applications ranging from the modeling and analysis of biological and cyber-physical systems to the verification of the safety and security of complex software systems. The Summer School on Formal Techniques trains students in the principles and practice of formal verification, with a strong emphasis on the hands-on use and development of this technology. It primarily targets graduate students and young researchers who are interested in using verification technology in their own research in fields such as computing, engineering, biology, and mathematics. Students at the school are given the opportunity to experiment with the tools and techniques presented in the lectures.\n\nThe 2014 edition of the Summer School is the fourth in the series takes place during May 19-23, 2014. Topics covered in this school include logic, formalization, interactive theorem proving, SAT and SMT solving, model checking, program semantics, modeling and verification of security protocols, and software reliability.
