Description
The
Office of Biological and Environmental Research (BER) of the Office of Science (SC),
U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), hereby announces its
interest in receiving applications for research that supports the Genomic
Science research program (http://genomicscience.energy.gov).
In this FOA, applications are requested for: i) Systems-level research to
better understand the molecular and physiological mechanisms that control
bioenergy crop vigor, resource use efficiency, and resilience/adaptability to
abiotic stress, as well as interactions with the surrounding environment, in
order to increase biomass productivity under changing and at times suboptimal
conditions; ii) Systems biology-enabled investigations into the role(s) of
microbial and microbial communities in the complex and multi-scaled
interactions of the plant-soil-environment: contribution(s) to bioenergy
feedstock plant performance, adaptation, and resilience in the face of a broad
range of changing environmental conditions and abiotic stressors (e.g.,
climate), and the impacts of introducing bioenergy cropping systems on the
local ecosystem.
