Description
The
Division of Integrative Organismal Systems (IOS) Core Programs Track supports
research aimed at understanding why organisms are structured the way they are
and function as they do. Proposals are welcomed in all of the core scientific
program areas supported by the Division of Integrative Organismal Systems
(IOS). Areas of inquiry include, but are not limited to, developmental biology
and the evolution of developmental processes, nervous system development,
structure, modification, function, and evolution; biomechanics and functional
morphology, physiological processes, symbioses and microbial interactions,
interactions of organisms with biotic and abiotic environments, plant and
animal genomics, and animal behavior. Proposals should focus on organisms as a
fundamental unit of biological organization. Principal Investigators (PIs) are
encouraged to apply systems approaches that will lead to conceptual and
theoretical insights and predictions about emergent organismal
properties.
The
Rules of Life Track supports integrative proposals that span the subcellular
and cellular scales normally funded by MCB to the organ, tissue, organismal,
and group scale typically funded by IOS, to population, species, community and
ecosystem scales typically funded by DEB. Rules of Life proposals may also
include enabling infrastructure through joint submission with DBI. Discovery of
fundamental principles and enabling infrastructure will advance understanding
and further predict how key properties of living systems emerge from the
interaction of genomes, phenotypes, and developmental, social and environmental
context across space and time. This track provides opportunities to advance
understanding of the Rules of Life by new mechanisms for review and funding of
proposals that span two or more divisions in the Biological Sciences
Directorate.
