Supports integrative, cross-disciplinary research that explores the mechanistic and eco-evolutionary responses of organisms to climate change, aiming to improve predictions, develop solutions for mitigating impacts and support the bioeconomy.

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 the development of genomic tools and research to uncover the relationships between genes and phenotypes across environmental, developmental, social and genomic contexts.

Supports integrative research that develops advanced mathematical theories and methods to address complex biological challenges, thereby enhancing our understanding of diverse biological systems and informing public health policy.

Supports opportunities for scientists and engineers at the associate professor rank (or equivalent) to substantively enhance and advance their research program through synergistic partnerships.

Supports partnerships between researchers and conservation practitioners to integrate science, action and evaluation, addressing urgent biodiversity challenges and advancing evidence-based conservation in the U.S.

Supports projects studying functional biodiversity in the context of environmental change. Projects should consider ecological and evolutionary approaches in response to the continual gain, loss and reorganization of biodiversity on a changing planet.

Supports interdisciplinary collaborative research to explore new computational technologies and accelerate scientific discovery.

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 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 integrative research on the behavior of individuals and groups of animals. Supports species-specific and comparative studies, as well as modeling and theoretical approaches.

Supports research on how the properties of organisms emerge from the interactions of developmental processes. Focus areas include plant, fungal and microbial development; animal development; and the evolution of developmental mechanisms

Supports research on whole-organism physiology and functional morphology, including mechanisms underlying interactions among viruses, prokaryotes and eukaryotes; organismal structural features; and organismal responses to abiotic/biotic environments.

Supports the establishment of an institute to facilitate research, education and training between mathematicians and biologists, with a goal of developing new mathematical methodologies inspired by biological problems.

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...
