NSF Awards $20 million Genomics/Computational Biology Projects in Hawaii and Mississippi
Colleagues,
As reported in Genome Web News ... The National Science Foundation has given two grants each totaling $20 million over five years to support infrastructure and technologies for genomics and computational biology projects based in Hawaii and Mississippi.
Granted under the NSF's Experimental Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (EPSCoR) ... these awards are aimed at improving research competitiveness in the states and at enhancing their academic science infrastructure...
... The grant to Hawaii will support research programs into the effects of invasive species, human activity, and climate change on Hawaiian Island biodiversity, and it includes the University of Hawaii-Manoa, the University of Hawaii-Hilo, Kapiolani Community College, and Chaminade University...and, the development of high performance computing models and new 3-D visualization systems ...
... The Mississippi grant will focus on merging biology and chemistry by using computational investigation and simulation ... The computational biology efforts will focus on developing new methods for integrating functional genomics information from high-throughput sources such as microarrays and next-generation gene sequencers ... The biological simulation work will include using physiological modeling methods of problems, such as particle deposition in the lungs...
... These grants will support Mississippi State University, the University of Mississippi, Jackson State University, the University of Southern Mississippi, the University of Mississippi Medical Center, and Mississippi College...
