FUNDING-NSF
- Biomechanics and Mechanobiology (BMMB); no
deadline
Agency
National
Science Foundation
Description
The
BMMB program supports fundamental research in biomechanics and mechanobiology. The program emphasizes multiscale
mechanics approaches that integrate across molecular, cell, tissue and organ
domains in the study of organisms. Projects may include theoretical,
computational, and experimental approaches.
An
important concern is the influence of in vivo mechanical forces on cell and
matrix biology in the histomorphogenesis,
maintenance, regeneration and aging of tissues. The program also is interested in
efforts to translate recent mechanobiological
discoveries into engineering science.
The program encourages the consideration of diverse living tissues as
smart materials that are self-designing.
