This program funds fundamental and transformative research that advances understanding of engineering biomechanics and mechanobiology, emphasizing biological mechanics from sub-cellular to whole organism levels. Projects must integrate biological and mechanics components and improve knowledge of living systems' mechanical behavior. The program supports theoretical, computational, and experimental approaches, excluding clinical trials but allowing feasibility studies with human or animal subjects. Proposals should highlight novelty, transformative potential, and societal impact.
Eligibility is unrestricted and open to any type of entity, subject to additional clarifications if provided. Researchers from various organizations are encouraged to apply.
