The U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Office of Biological and Environmental Research (BER) is offering this grant to advance the Genomic Science research program. This grant is for supporting innovative research focusing on the critical role of microbial communities in carbon cycling within terrestrial ecosystems. Specifically, BER seeks applications for systems biology studies exploring regulatory and metabolic networks of microbes, microbial consortia, and their interactions with plants. Additionally, proposals should focus on developing advanced ‘omics approaches to investigate microbial community functional processes, and ‘omics-enabled methods for imaging and analyzing microbially-mediated carbon cycling. This initiative aims to deepen our understanding of fundamental biological processes influencing global carbon dynamics.
