Annual report dates come from the budget period on your award notice. That date is not public, so it is not shown here.

How we got this date

NSF lists this award's end date as 31 May 2029.
NSF rules say the final report is due no later than 120 days after that.
So the final report is due by 28 September 2029.

Abstract

Currently, our ideas about biopolymers are linked to their degree of rigidity. For example, the high flexibility of DNA enables looping to regulate gene expression. By contrast, rigid microtubules, built from closely packed αβ-tubulin proteins into a hollow cylinder, are considered structural elements and highways for traffic inside cells. Recent discoveries suggest that microtubules undergo conformational changes…
