This program supports research uncovering fundamental properties of living systems at molecular and cellular levels. It funds projects in four core clusters: molecular biophysics, genetic mechanisms, cellular dynamics, and systems/synthetic biology. Emphasis is on mechanistic understanding, integration across scales, and interdisciplinary methods. Transformative and high-risk ideas are encouraged, with broad organismal scope and synergy between experimental and computational approaches.
Eligibility includes others as specified in additional information. Specific eligibility details are not fully detailed in the listing; contact the funding organization for clarification.
