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.

Invites proposals that apply new, integrative approaches to understand molecular, biophysical, cellular, and circuit-level neural processes underlying adaptation and resilience in response to changing environments organisms face due to anthropogenic activity.

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.

Dear Colleagues: Scope The US National Science Foundation (NSF) and UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) on Research Cooperation. The MOU provides an overarching framework to encourage collaboration between US and UK research communities...

Invites workshop and planning proposals that address national research infrastructure gaps relevant to the biological sciences community.

Invites collaborative U.S.–U.K. proposals in several priority areas shared by NSF’s Directorate for Biological Sciences and the UKRI Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council.

Encourages research proposals using comparative approaches to identify evolutionary convergent adaptations to life’s challenges and the mechanisms that underlie them.

Invites proposals focused on plant genetic transformation to certain existing programs at NSF and USDA. Proposals can involve basic research, long-term studies, tool development, or applications emphasizing potential outcomes with societal benefit.

Encourages new, integrative approaches to understanding the spatial and temporal dynamics and nature of host-infectious agent interactions in different contexts, across different scales, with alternative outcomes, and in non-model or under-studied systems.

Encourages proposals or supplemental funding requests from current awardees of the Directorate for Biological Sciences to include participation of K-12 science educators in their projects.
