Description

The Engineering Biological and Biomedical Systems (EBBS) program by the U.S. National Science Foundation aims to expand understanding of biological and physiological systems to improve human health. It supports fundamental mechanistic studies combined with experimental and computational techniques to develop platforms, devices, organisms, tissues, and processes for new understanding and control of biological functions. The program encourages research on microbial populations, therapeutic cells and tissues, biosensing platforms, optical imaging, tissue changes, rehabilitation engineering, and biomanufacturing. It does not support proposals focused on drug design, drug delivery, animal disease models, clinical trials, or commercialization.
