The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $315,336 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) federal grant program to Western Michigan University. The grant, titled "Instrumentation for Quantum Biology (I-QUBIO) Research Coordination Network", aims to bring together a diverse community of scientists to collaborate on method development for the field of quantum biology. The project will utilize hybrid in-person/online workshops and training schools to provide the quantum biology research community with the infrastructure required to advance this frontier scientific effort. The goal is to enable better measurement of biological phenomena through the tools of quantum mechanics and develop quantum-enhanced probes compatible with biological imaging. This project addresses the experimental bottleneck in unambiguously proving or refuting hypotheses about quantum effects in living systems. The award period is from November 1, 2024 to February 28, 2026.
