NSF Solicitation for Molecular and Cellular Biosciences Research Proposals

The U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) is inviting research proposals for its Division of Molecular and Cellular Biosciences (MCB) Core Programs. - Government Buyer: - U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF), Division of Molecular and Cellular Biosciences - Scope of Solicitation: - Supports research projects to uncover fundamental properties of living systems at atomic, molecular, subcellular, and cellular scales - Emphasizes interdisciplinary approaches, integrating chemistry, computer science, engineering, mathematics, and physics - Research areas include: - Molecular biophysics - Genetic mechanisms - Cellular dynamics and function - Systems and synthetic biology - Projects bridging these areas or integrating with other biology subdisciplines are encouraged - Unique/Notable Requirements: - Excludes research focused solely on human diseases unless it advances other scientific fields - Open to U.S.-based non-profit, non-academic organizations and institutions of higher education - No specific OEMs, vendors, or product part numbers are mentioned, as this is a grant opportunity for research proposals, not a procurement of products or equipment.

Description

The solicitation supports research aimed at uncovering fundamental properties of living systems at molecular and cellular scales. It prioritizes projects that advance mechanistic understanding of molecular, subcellular, and cellular systems, encouraging interdisciplinary approaches and transformative ideas. Research areas include molecular biophysics, genetic mechanisms, cellular dynamics and function, and systems and synthetic biology. The program supports basic biological sciences research with potential impacts on health, environment, energy, and food production, but excludes research focused exclusively on human diseases unless it advances other scientific fields.
