MRNA is series of collegiate quizbowl sets aimed at 2-dot difficulty, started by members of the Vanderbilt quizbowl club in collaboration with others, including many Canadian writers. Its name is a jocular reference to the lifesaving vaccine which enabled in-person quizbowl to resume after its suspension by COVID-19.
The initial MRNA VACCINE (Medium RaNge Academic, a Vanderbilt and Company Collaboration vIa NEtwork) was a college set written for Spring 2022 by members of the Vanderbilt quiz bowl club, in collaboration with others, including many Canadian writers. The tournament was head-edited by Nashville resident Eric Mukherjee with logistics organized by Chandler West. It was aimed at 2 dots, which they compared to 2020 LIT and 2019 Terrapin.
A sequel to MRNA Vaccine, MRNA II, was played in Spring 2023, with some changes from the original editor lineup.
A spiritual successor to the MRNA sets, Booster Shot, was head edited by Erik Christensen and played in Spring 2024; it was retroactively dubbed MRNA III.
MRNA IV: Herd Immunity, recently announced by Christensen, will be played in the 2024-2025 competition year.
