Synopsis

The Division of Integrative Organismal Systems (IOS) supports research aimed at understanding why organisms are structured the way they are and function as they do. Proposals should focus on organisms as a fundamental unit of biological organization. PIs are encouraged to apply systems approaches that will lead to conceptual and theoretical insights and predictions about emergent organismal properties.  Areas of inquiry include, but are not limited to, developmental biology and the evolution of developmental processes, nervous system development, structure, and function, physiological processes, functional morphology, symbioses, interactions of organisms with biotic and abiotic environments, and animal behavior.

Proposals are welcomed in all areas of science supported by the Division of Integrative Organismal Systems.  However, effective July 13, 2011, all investigator-initiated proposals to the core programs in the Division of Integrative Organismal Systems will be invited/not invited via preliminary proposals. There will be a single window of submission limit of 2 preliminary proposals per investigator per year as PI/Co-PI/Lead Senior Investigator of a subaward in response to this Solicitation. Unsolicited full research proposals will no longer be accepted into the IOS Core Programs. This limit does not include proposals submitted in response to other NSF Solicitations.
