Grant Description

The Office of Biological and Environmental Research (BER) of the Office of Science (SC), U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) hereby announces its interest in receiving applications for research that supports the Genomic Science research program (http://genomicscience.energy.gov). In this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA), applications are solicited for: i.) systems biology studies on regulatory and metabolic networks of microbes, microbial consortia, and microbe-plant interactions involved in biogeochemical cycling of carbon, ii.) development of ?omics approaches to investigate microbial community functional processes involved in carbon cycling in terrestrial ecosystems, and iii.) development of ?omics enabled methods and technologies for imaging and analysis of microbially-mediated carbon cycling processes in terrestrial ecosystems.
