Karen Cone (Genetic Mechanisms, Division of Molecular and Cellular Biosciences, National Science Foundation)

Abstract:
The National Science Foundation's Directorate for Biological Sciences (BIO) has a mission to fund research on fundamental, basic research questions to advance understanding of life processes across scales from molecules to ecosystems.

Awards are available to support research grants for faculty. These include opportunities through: 1) Core Programs in the divisions of Molecular and Cellular Biosciences, Integrative Organismal Systems, Environmental Biology, and Biological Infrastructure, 2) Faculty early career development (CAREER), and 3) Research in primarily undergraduate institutions (RUI).

Awards to support training for individuals who are US citizens or permanent residents include Graduate Research Fellowships and Postdoctoral Research Fellowships in Biology.

Information on these and other programs will be presented.
