Description

The Biomechanics and Mechanobiology (BMMB) program supports fundamental and transformative research to advance understanding of engineering biomechanics and mechanobiology, focusing on biological mechanics from sub-cellular to whole organism levels. Projects must include a clear biological and mechanics component and aim to improve understanding of mechanical behavior in living systems. The program encourages theoretical, computational, or experimental approaches and does not support clinical trials but may support feasibility studies involving human or animal subjects. Proposals should highlight novelty, transformative potential, and societal or industrial impact. The program is part of the Division of Civil, Mechanical, and Manufacturing Innovation and offers awards generally up to three years with budgets typically supporting one graduate student and PI time.
