Description
This
solicitation invites submission of collaborative proposals that tackle bold
questions in biology and require an integrated approach to make substantive
progress. Integrative biological research spans subdisciplines and incorporates cutting-edge methods,
tools, and concepts from each to produce groundbreaking biological discovery.
The research should be synergistic and produce novel, holistic understanding of
how biological systems function and interact across different scales of
organization, e.g., from molecules to cells, tissues to organisms, species to
ecosystems and the entire Earth. Such knowledge is critical to inform solutions
to societal challenges, including natural resource management, resilience to
environmental change, and global food security. Outcomes from integrative
research will also inform and guide the development of new technologies that
drive the nation’s bioeconomy.
Integrative
biological research depends on researchers who work in dynamic, diverse, and
collaborative interdisciplinary teams. These teams should be fully engaged in
the training and education of the next generation of scientists who will be
future leaders in integrative research. A vibrant, inclusive, and integrative
training environment will therefore produce a new generation of researchers who
can navigate across subdisciplines and engage in
integrative thinking.
