About this opportunity
The National Science Foundation's Division of Integrative Organismal Systems (IOS) Core Programs Track supports research aimed at understanding the structure, function, and evolution of organisms. This funding opportunity welcomes proposals in a wide range of scientific areas, including developmental biology, neuroscience, biomechanics, physiology, and microbial interactions. Principal Investigators are encouraged to apply systems-level approaches that lead to conceptual and theoretical insights about emergent organismal properties. The Rules of Life Track provides opportunities to advance the understanding of fundamental principles that govern living systems across multiple scales, from subcellular to ecosystem levels. Proposals should focus on organisms as the fundamental unit of biological organization.
This grant opportunity does not specify a fixed award value or budget range. However, recent awards under the broader Biological Sciences program have ranged from $240,000 to over $1.5 million, with project durations typically spanning 2-5 years. The research is expected to be primarily conducted at academic institutions and research facilities throughout the United States.
Synopsis
The Division of Integrative Organismal Systems (IOS) Core Programs Track supports research aimed at understanding why organisms are structured the way they are and function as they do. Proposals are welcomed in all of the core scientific program areas supported by the Division of Integrative Organismal Systems (IOS). Areas of inquiry include, but are not limited to, developmental biology and the evolution of developmental processes, nervous system development, structure, modification, function, and evolution; biomechanics and functional morphology, physiological processes, symbioses and microbial interactions, interactions of organisms with biotic and abiotic environments,plant and animal genomics, and animal behavior. Proposals should focus on organisms as a fundamental unit of biological organization. Principal Investigators (PIs) are encouraged to apply systems approaches that will lead to conceptual and theoretical insights and predictions about emergent organismal properties. TheRules of Life Tracksupports integrative proposals that span the subcellular and cellular scales normally funded by MCB to the organ, tissue, organismal, and group scale typically funded by IOS, to population, species, community and ecosystem scales typically funded by DEB. Rules of Life proposals may also include enabling infrastructure through joint submission with DBI. Discovery of fundamental principles and enabling infrastructure will advance understanding and further predict how key properties of living systems emerge from the interaction of genomes, phenotypes, and developmental, social and environmental context across space and time.This track provides opportunities to advance understanding of the Rules of Life by new mechanisms for review and funding of proposals that span two or more divisions in the Biological Sciences Directorate.
