The Biological Sciences Directorate is offering the Advancing Theory in Biology (ATB) grant to foster a deeper conceptual and theoretical understanding of living systems. This grant specifically supports the development of innovative theoretical approaches aimed at improving our grasp of general biological principles that manifest independently across various levels of biological organization. Individual or collaborative projects can receive awards not exceeding $750,000 over a three-year period. Please note that this marks the final year a distinct competition will be held for the ATB initiative. Subsequent support for novel theoretical work in biology will be integrated into the Directorate’s existing core programs.

| 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) solicitation 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. Awards will not exceed a total of $750,000 over a three year period. This total includes all participants in collaborative projects. This is the final year that a separate competition will be held for Advancing Theory in Biology. After this year, the Biological Sciences Directorate will continue to support the development of new theoretical approaches to account for phenomena at different levels of biological organization through proposals submitted to existing core programs in the Directorate. |
