About this opportunity
The Bioinformatics Programmatic Area supports the design of novel and innovative bioinformatics approaches that have the potential to become part of the cyberinfrastructure that will advance or transform biological understanding and that has the potential to be broadly applicable in biology. Proposed projects may be focused on any biological process that will be better understood through the development of computational tools and approaches to acquire, model, or analyze biological information. The scope of the proposed project should include one discrete or several tightly coupled problems in biological informatics or data science that addresses a biological research problem that can include but is not limited to: novel databases, including standards, ontologies, architectures, and interop...
