Grant Description

The Biological Sciences Directorate invites submission of proposals that advance our conceptual and theoretical understanding of living systems. The Advancing Theory in Biology (ATB) announcement supports the development of new theoretical approaches that will improve our understanding of general biological principles that account for phenomena that occur independently across levels of biological organization. Proposals may vary in size and duration, in the number of investigators involved, and in the nature of collaborations. Awards will not exceed a total of $750,000 over a three year period. This total includes all participants in collaborative projects.
