Delaware State University

Awards Issued Prior to January 20, 2025, Were Funded Under Previous Administrations and May Not Reflect the Priorities and Policies of the Current Administration. Delaware State University (DSU) Has Established the Dna Core to Support Faculty and Students Because of the Increase in Funding for New Genomics Research and Teaching Projects. We Will Meet and Exceed PIS' Demands for Research, Training, and Service Genomics Activities. Currently, Due to Space Constraints, Core Instruments Are Located in Multiple Buildings, Which Is Inefficient and Difficult to Manage. Delaware State University Recently Acquired Additional Space at the Dsu Downtown Campus in Which We Will Consolidate Our Dna Core. However, Some Constructions and Instrument Acquisitions Are Still Necessary and Must Be Addressed to Ensure the Facility Meets the Highest Standards of Academia and Industry.in This Project, the Goals and Activities Are to 1) Remodel the Teaching Room and Old Lab to the Dna Core Labs, 2) Relocate Major Core Equipment to the New Core Location, 3) Acquire Additional Equipment to Enhance the Core, 4) Develop Educational and Outreach Programs for Faculty, Students, Research Staff, and External Stakeholders, and 5) Earnngs Accreditation Lab and Provide Dna Sequencing and Related Services to Internal and External Users in Genomics Research. by Consolidating the Dna Core, We Can Better Serve Pis and Graduate Students, Ensuring Effective Use of the Core Facility. We Will Provide New Opportunities to Adopt Innovative Technology for Enhancing Teaching and Research for Students and Faculty. This Project Satisfies the Facility Grant Program by Increasing Access to Shared Facilities for Broad Research for Use in the Food, Agricultural Sciences, and Biology Programs at Dsu.
