Utah State University received a $249,955 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Emerging Frontiers under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) on June 1, 2026, with a completion date of May 31, 2028. The award funds the development of standardized computational workflows for modeling and inference of RNA strand-exchange circuits, with the primary deliverable being a machine-readable computational workflow that improves mechanistic models of engineered biological systems using experimental data and artificial intelligence techniques. The project will deliver reusable computational tools and methodologies that systematically connect experimental measurements to biological mechanisms, with a specific focus on genetically encoded RNA strand-exchange circuits as a case study. The work combines experimental measurements from the National Institute of Standards and Technology with computational modeling to refine predictive models when predictions diverge from observations. In addition to the technical deliverables, the award supports education and outreach activities, including training of graduate and undergraduate students through research, coursework, and public engagement, while advancing the reliability and predictability of engineered biological systems for biotechnology, biomanufacturing, and environmental sensing applications within the emerging U.S. bioeconomy.Grant Award Summary
