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...
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 $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 objectives include: i) creating microfluidic hardware for non-destructive RNA extraction, ii) optimizing a low-input RNA-sequencing protocol for live cell transcriptomics, and iii) monitoring RNA changes, speciation, and spatiotemporal expression during habituation and memory transfer. The project offers a multidisciplinary learning opportunity for graduate students and plans to create bilingual outreach comics to share the research findings with a broader audience. The results could have significant implications for understanding molecular memory processing and potential applications in information storage and transfer.
