The Division of Integrative Organismal Systems (IOS) offers a grant to support foundational research into why organisms are structured and function as they do. This funding opportunity welcomes proposals across all core scientific program areas, including developmental biology, nervous system function, biomechanics, physiological processes, and symbioses. It also covers organism-environment interactions, plant and animal genomics, and animal behavior. Proposals should focus on organisms as the fundamental unit of biological organization. Principal Investigators are encouraged to employ systems approaches, aiming to generate conceptual and theoretical insights and predictions about emergent organismal properties, thereby advancing our understanding of life’s intricate mechanisms.

| 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 are welcomed in all of the core scientific program areas supported by the Division of Integrative Organismal Systems (IOS). Areas of inquiry include, but are not limited to, developmental biology and the evolution of developmental processes, nervous system development, structure, modification, function, and evolution; biomechanics and functional morphology, physiological processes, symbioses and microbial interactions, interactions of organisms with biotic and abiotic environments,plant and animal genomics, and animal behavior. 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. |
