About this opportunity
NSF BIO supports fundamental research focused on elucidating the structure, dynamics, and function of biomolecules and supramolecular assemblies. Proposals that define the underlying physical and chemical principles governing biomolecular interactions, the regulation of biological function across atomic and molecular scales, and the emergence of biological at the cellular level are encouraged. Priority is given to studies that employ rigorous and complementary experimental and computational methodologies in a synergistic manner, as well as those that are conducted under physiological conditions or in environments that closely mimic native biological contexts. Proposals that integrate innovative concepts, techniques, or theoretical frameworks from other scientific disciplines, including art...
