Description
The
purpose of the NSF-Simons Research Centers for Mathematics of Complex Biological
Systems (MathBioSys) is to enable innovative
collaborative research at the intersection of mathematics and molecular,
cellular, and organismal biology, to establish new connections between these
two disciplines, and to promote interdisciplinary education and workforce
training. The National Science Foundation Directorates for Mathematical and
Physical Sciences (MPS) and for Biological Sciences (BIO) and the Simons
Foundation Division of Mathematics and the Physical Sciences (MPS) and Division
of Life Sciences shall jointly sponsor up to three new research centers to
facilitate collaborations among groups of mathematicians, statisticians, and
biologists. Research activities conducted at each center will be focused on a
particular set of topics at the interface of the mathematical sciences with
molecular, cellular, and organismal biology. Each center will conduct
interdisciplinary education and training through research involvement of recent
doctoral degree recipients and graduate students from across this
multi-disciplinary spectrum. Each center is also expected to conduct convening
activities, including short-term and/or long-term visitors programs, workshops,
and/or outreach activities. These centers will have annual meetings of the
Principal Investigators (PIs) and other principal researchers, held at the
Simons Foundation in New York City. All proposers intending to submit a full
proposal in response to this activity must first submit a Letter of Intent by
August 10, 2017.
