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
research applications for novel imaging and measurement technologies for
biological systems science. This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) will
consider applications for the development of novel imaging instrumentation and
measurement technologies that support the integrative analysis of communication
among subcellular compartments, between individual microbial cells and within
multicellular communities/plant tissues. The goal is to develop in situ,
dynamic and nondestructive approaches to enable multifunctional imaging,
quantitative flux measurements, and multiscale
integrative analysis of bioenergy-relevant plant and microbial systems.
Ideally, these imaging approaches will pave the way for predictive
understanding of the spatial and temporal relationships, physical connections,
and chemical exchanges that facilitate the flow of materials and information
across membranes and between intracellular sp aces.
The anticipated outcome of this FOA is the development of in situ imaging and
measurement technologies that can (1) resolve multiple key metabolic processes
over time within or among cells and (2) bridge the critical gap in linking
molecular-scale information to whole-cell, systems-level understanding.
