During FY 1977, 247 Regular Research, Program Project, and Research Career Development Award applications were reviewed, a slight decrease from FY 1976. Awards were made to 102 noncompeting and 120 competing projects from FY 1977 appropriations, for a total of $18.4 million. In addition, 17 projects for a total of $1.5 million were supported from energy related pass-through funds provided under...

This disease varies from an acute to chronic illness. The aim of this study was to determine the level of anti-HBs Ag (hepati...

Microorganisms play a crucial role in mediating global biogeochemical cycles in the marine environment. By reconstructing the genomes of environmental organisms through metagenomics, researchers are able to study the metabolic potential of Bacteria and Archaea that are resistant to isolation in the laboratory. Utilizing the large metagenomic dataset generated from 234 samples collected during t...
