The Division of Integrative Organismal Systems (IOS) offers grants for research focusing on understanding the structure and function of organisms. Proposals should use a systems approach to gain insights into organismal properties, including developmental biology, nervous system development, physiological processes, symbioses, and animal behavior. Researchers are encouraged to submit preliminary proposals for merit review, focusing on integrative organismal systems. The closing date for submissions is Aug 02, 2013, with a limit of 2 preliminary proposals per investigator per year. Collaborators and senior personnel are not subject to these limits, and unsolicited full research proposals are no longer accepted.

| Description:: | The Division of Integrative Organismal Systems (IOS) supports research aimed at understanding why organisms are structured the way they are and function as they do. Proposals should focus on organisms as a fundamental unit of biological organization. Principal Investigators (PIs) are encouraged to apply systems approaches that will lead to conceptual and theoretical insights and predictions about emergent organismal properties. Areas of inquiry include, but are not limited to, developmental biology and the evolution of developmental processes, nervous system development, structure, and function, physiological processes, functional morphology, symbioses, interactions of organisms with biotic and abiotic environments, and animal behavior. Proposals are welcomed in all areas of science supported by the Division of Integrative Organismal Systems. All investigator-initiated proposals to the core programs in the Division of Integrative Organismal Systems must now be invited based on merit review of preliminary proposals. There is a single submission deadline with a limit of 2 preliminary proposals per investigator per year as PI or co-PI in response to this solicitation. There are no limits on the number of proposals submitted as collaborator or senior personnel. These limits do not pertain to proposals submitted in response to other NSF solicitations. Unsolicited full research proposals are no longer accepted into the IOS Core Programs. |
