Funding-Advancing
Theory in Biology (ATB); April 13, 2011
Agency
National
Science Foundation
Description
The Biological Sciences Directorate invites
submission of proposals that advance our conceptual and theoretical understanding
of living systems. The Advancing Theory in Biology (ATB) solicitation
supports the development of new theoretical approaches that will improve
our understanding of general biological principles that account
for phenomena that occur independently across levels of biological
organization. Awards will not exceed a total of $750,000 over a three year
period. This total includes all participants in collaborative projects.
This is the final year that a separate
competition will be held for Advancing Theory in Biology. After this year, the
Biological Sciences Directorate will continue to support the development of new
theoretical approaches to account for phenomena at different levels of
biological organization through proposals submitted to existing core programs
in the Directorate.
