About this opportunity
Synopsis NSF BIO supports mechanistic research on how the properties of organisms emerge through developmental processes. Research is supported on the mechanisms by which properties of organisms emerge and change across space and time at all stages of an organism’s life cycle. Focus areas include plant, fungal and microbial development; animal development; and the evolution of developmental mechanisms. Holistic and interdisciplinary approaches to understanding developmental processes at the molecular, cellular, and organismal levels of organization are of interest. This could include using molecular, genetic, biochemical, and/or physiological techniques, as well as techniques from outside of biology. Studies that investigate fundamental developmental biology questions that could translate ...
