- Division of Molecular and Cellular Biosciences: Investigator-Initiated
Research Projects (17-589); November 20, 2017
Agency
National
Science Foundation
Description
The
Division of Molecular and Cellular Biosciences (MCB) is soliciting proposals in
four core clusters: 1. Cellular Dynamics and Function; 2. Genetic Mechanisms; 3.
Molecular Biophysics; 4. Systems and Synthetic Biology. MCB gives high priority
to research projects that use theory, methods, and technologies from life and
physical sciences, mathematics, computational sciences, and engineering to
address major biological questions that elucidate the rules governing
subcellular and cellular processes. Research supported by MCB uses a range of
experimental and computational approaches--including in vivo, in vitro, and in
silico strategies--and a broad spectrum of model and
non-model organisms, including microbes and plants. Projects are particularly
welcome that address the emerging areas of: multi-scale integration;
transformative methods and resources (when driven by compelling biological
questions); molecular and cellular evolution; the synthesis of life-like
systems; and the quantitative prediction of the phenome from genomic
information.
