Mathematical Biology

The Mathematical Biology Program supports research in all areas of mathematical sciences with relevance to the biological sciences. Successful proposals must demonstrate mathematical innovation, biological relevance and significance, and strong integration between mathematics and biology. Some key points of interest to the Mathematical Biology Program may include development of mathematical theories, methodologies, and tools traditionally seen in other disciplinary programs within the Division of Mathematical Sciences. The program regularly seeks joint reviews of proposals with programs in the Directorates of Biological Sciences and other relevant programs. • Proposals for conferences, workshops, etc., to be held in the US must be submitted 8 months in advance of the conference date • Proposals to support group travel to meetings outside the US must be submitted 12 months in advance of the meeting date • Investigators submitting an RUI proposal should read the RUI solicitation, as the rules for proposal format may deviate from the Proposal & Award Policies & Procedures Guide (PAPPG) • Prior to submitting proposals for EArly-concept Grants for Exploratory Research (EAGER) or Rapid Response Research (RAPID), Investigators must contact the cognizant program directors
