Supports the establishment of a new Synthesis Center focused on organismal resilience and plasticity as well as training new generations of researchers in data-intensive, open, cross-disciplinary and collaborative science.
Supports research into synthetic microbial communities, including how they form and evolve, how to use them to address biological questions, and/or how to build them for biotechnology or bioengineering applications.
Supports design and implementation projects studying functional biodiversity in the context of unprecedented environmental change. Projects must integrate cellular, organismal, ecological, evolutionary, geological or paleontological approaches.
Supports research, research coordination networks and conferences that integrate ecological and evolutionary approaches with genomic, physiological, structural, developmental, neural or behavioral understanding of organismal responses to climate change.
Supports opportunities for scientists and engineers at the associate professor rank (or equivalent) to substantively enhance and advance their research program through synergistic partnerships.
Dear Colleagues: The National Science Foundation's (NSF) Directorate for Biological Sciences (BIO) seeks to highlight the importance of computational thinking in biology and STEM education. This activity is a part of NSF's contribution to the Office of Science and Technology...
Encourages collaborative U.S. –India research proposals to support knowledge, technologies and innovation that advance biotechnology and promote the bioeconomy.
Dear Colleagues: SCOPE The U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) and the US-Israel Binational Science Foundation (BSF) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) on Research Cooperation. The MOU provides an overarching framework to encourage collaboration between U.S. and Israeli research...
Introduction The National Science Foundation (NSF) and National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have shared interests in a variety of basic and applied scientific and engineering fields. This program is designed to facilitate collaborative research and educational activities among...
Supports collaborative research involving scientists from the United States, Germany and the United Kingdom in two focus areas: multi-scale crop physiology or programmable plants.
Supports partnerships that conduct research on organismal biology, ecology and evolution to develop and implement action plans and technologies that advance biodiversity conservation.
Encourages early-stage collaborations across the biological and engineering sciences and the translation of research findings into use-inspired projects that inform societal impact and future commercialization.
Invites conference proposals to initiate new collaborations that will advance clean energy technologies and increase their use to benefit the economy, to ensure social justice and to serve the public good.
Encourages submission of proposals for projects that use/reuse long-term environmental data to advance understanding of ecological and evolutionary questions.
Supports basic research, tool development and applications to advance the field of plant synthetic biology through ongoing programs in the Directorate for Biological Sciences and the Directorate for Engineering.
Encourages proposals that combine methods in agricultural, biological, and computer and information science and engineering to address pressing challenges in digital agriculture.
Encourages proposals that enhance our knowledge of pathogen transmission dynamics through novel technologies, such as remote sensing, precision treatment and mathematical or computational models, including artificial intelligence and machine learning.
Supports the development of genomic tools and research to uncover the relationships between genes and phenotypes across environmental, developmental, social and genomic contexts.
Invites transatlantic collaborative research proposals that address the priorities of both UK Research and Innovation Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council and participating Divisions in NSF’s Directorate for Biological Sciences.
Encourages proposals or supplemental funding requests from current NSF awardees for projects that foster interest in the biological sciences and broaden participation of high school students.
Encourages proposals or supplemental funding requests from current NSF awardees for projects that foster interest in the biological sciences and broaden participation of underrepresented high school students.
Encourages proposals on post-transcriptional RNA and post-translational protein modifications and how these modifications influence the properties, interactions, and/or regulation of these macromolecules and their role in cellular and organismal phenotype.
Supports integrative research on the behavior of individuals and groups of animals. Supports species-specific and comparative studies, as well as modeling and theoretical approaches.
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Divisions of Chemical, Bioengineering, Environmental and Transport Systems (CBET), Integrative and Organismal Systems (IOS), Molecular and Cellular Biosciences (MCB), and Civil, Mechanical, and Manufacturing Innovation (CMMI) seek proposals that elucidate mechanisms of, and develop strategies...
