This $495,000 National Science Foundation project grant supports collaborative research at the University of Colorado Denver to explore the potential role of non-coding RNAs in encoding molecular memory. Funded under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), the three-year award beginning May 1, 2023 will examine whether a simple form of memory known as behavioral sensitization can be stored by non-coding RNA. The principal investigators hypothesize that expression or post-transcriptional...
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...
This National Science Foundation project grant award of $600,000 supports research into the mechanisms underlying long-term memory storage at the University of California, Los Angeles from February 1, 2022 to January 31, 2025. The award is made under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to promote progress in the biological sciences. Specifically, the grant funds research investigating whether memories are stored through nuclear modifications in neurons rather than changes in...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $300,000 Project Grant under its Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to the Georgia TECH Research Corporation for the "TOOLS4CELLS: EAGER: A MOLECULAR PURSUIT FOR THE ENGRAM: MICROFLUIDIC TEMPORAL TRANSCRIPTOMICS FOR SINGLE CELL LEARNING" project. This 2-year effort aims to develop innovative microfluidic tools and workflows to investigate the role of non-coding RNA in learning and memory storage in single-celled organisms. Key...
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 (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $502,981 to the University of Richmond to conduct research on the molecular mechanisms underlying synaptic plasticity and memory formation. The key objectives of the project are to: Investigate the role of the SNARE protein SNAP-47 in regulating membrane fusion during the delivery of AMPA neurotransmitter receptors to the neuronal synapse. This will involve using in vitro fusion...
This $2.11 million project grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Emerging Frontiers, under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074), will fund research at Emory University and the University of Tennessee from March 2023 through February 2027 to rationally design long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) for epigenetic signal amplification. The researchers will define the minimal features required for large-scale silencing mediated by lncRNAs, building on the...
The National Science Foundation awarded $665,786 under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill from March 2023 through February 2027. The project aims to advance understanding of long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) and their potential for epigenetic regulation through rational design and engineering of synthetic lncRNAs. Researchers will define the minimal features required for large-scale silencing mediated by lncRNAs, building...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant award of $302,900 will fund research into higher-order neural processing in the peripheral nervous system of the nudibranch mollusk Berghia stephaniae from April 1, 2023 through March 31, 2026. The award was made under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), which aims to promote biological sciences research and enhance understanding of major problems. Specifically, the grant will support construction of a connectome of the rhinophore...
This Project Grant from the Department of Health and Human Services National Institutes of Health Office of the Director, under the Trans-NIH Research Support program (CFDA 93.310), provides $2,855,400 to Baylor College of Medicine for a research project titled "Uncovering Brain-Wide Molecular Determinants of Individual Memory Performance Across Lifespan." Over a three-year period from September 15, 2022 to August 31, 2025, the grantee will use the invertebrate model C. elegans to...
