I'm stuck with ideas what I could do in genetics with this sponsorship. Can anyone give extreme interesting ideas?
I will start screening of new genes from unlimited biodiversity of microorganisms from which only about 3% studied yet. To construct autotroph microorganism with inductible biodegradation activity against synthetic polymers.
What are the restrictions on the funds, the timeline, and what are you interested in?
Off the top of my head, I'd hire a great postdoc, buy out of my teaching for a year or two, and upgrade my computers.

Katie A Burnette What an interesting, and honest answer. There are no timeline, or restrictions on the project. But it's my first, so I have to rock it. I'm thinking using CRISPR in editing cancer gene (not sure what to focus on).
Phuong Pham Using CRISPR to knock out selected genes while also adding DNA, it was hoped, might make T cells even more powerful and persistent. But CRISPR brought its own uncertainties. Lab studies have revealed “off-target” effects, in which unintended DNA gets modified. No one knew whether T cells with sliced and diced genes could even survive in the human body. Last year, Vertex Pharmaceuticals and CRISPR Therapeutics announced that two patients treated for inherited blood diseases with CRISPR-edited cells were doing well. But details were sparses
