Infrastructure Funding Opportunities from the NSF BIO Directorate’s Division of Biological Infrastructure
The UofM invites UT Health Science Center researchers and students to a presentation by Dr. Jennifer Weller, a program officer in the Division of Biological Infrastructure for the National Science Foundation (NSF).
NSF and the BIO directorate are increasingly funding infrastructure to support coordinated large-scale interdisciplinary projects, ranging from major building projects like NEON to large- and mid-scale Institutes, Biology Innovation Institutes, MRIs, and Research Coordination Networks. There are also a number of initiatives examining artificial intelligence approaches to solving biological research challenges. In addition, there are a number of relevant, new cross-cutting programs with the CISE directorate and the new TIP Directorate, supporting translational applications of basic science
