- This National Science Foundation project grant award of $220,000 supports research into RNA-encoded molecular memory at The Trustees of Mount Holyoke College from May 1, 2023 through April 30, 2026. The research will explore the potential roles of non-coding RNAs in encoding memory, building on prior evidence that some forms of simple memory may be stored as changes in RNA molecules. The principal investigators and their team will conduct differential RNA sequencing on trained and untrained...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $208,090 Project Grant to Purdue University under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program. The grant is for a 3-year project from August 2024 to July 2027 focused on building a conceptual framework for understanding the "engram" - the neural mechanisms underlying memory retention and recall. The project will employ methods from biology, history, and philosophy of science to develop an updated, expanded...
- This $850,000 Project Grant award, funded jointly by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Integrative Organismal Systems and Division of Information and Intelligent Systems under CFDA 47.070 Computer and Information Science and Engineering, supports research to understand how sleep and memory are connected in the brain. The project will use long-duration, high-resolution recordings of neuronal activity to observe changes in synaptic connections during sleep and memory tasks,...
- Federal Grant Award Summary The National Science Foundation (NSF), Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences, awarded a Project Grant of $604,425 to the University of California, Berkeley under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075) beginning September 1, 2025, with a completion date of August 31, 2028. This research initiative investigates how the brain's memory systems, particularly the hippocampus, minimize interference between similar memories to enable...
- This $660,000 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research at the University of Southern California (USC) on how RNA editing regulates synaptic plasticity and behavioral adaptations in the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster. The project aims to investigate how RNA editing of glutamate-gated chloride and voltage-gated calcium channels impacts neural circuit function, synaptic plasticity, and organismal behaviors....
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences Program (CFDA 47.074) will provide $502,981 to the University of Richmond to explore the molecular mechanisms underlying the delivery of AMPA neurotransmitter receptors during the formation of memories. The project aims to identify novel proteins involved in this receptor trafficking process and describe key steps in the membrane fusion events that facilitate receptor insertion at neuronal synapses. This work...
- The National Science Foundation awarded $500,000 under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075) to the University of California, San Francisco for a project grant titled "Understanding Mechanisms of Semantic Memory through Intracranial Recording and Stimulation." The three-year project, running from September 1, 2022 to August 31, 2025, will utilize intracranial electroencephalography recordings from awake epilepsy patients to decipher how neural...
- Federal Grant Award Summary The University of California, San Diego received a $375,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Molecular and Cellular Biosciences under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074).
