Do you have a largescale integrative project idea?
BII Informational Webinar: December 2, 2021, 2:00-3:00 PM EST
The Biology Integration Institutes (BII) program supports collaborative teams of researchers investigating questions that span multiple disciplines within and beyond biology. Through integrative science, groundbreaking and sustainable interdisciplinary training programs, and adoption of practices and strategies that leverage cyberinfrastructure and other technologies to bridge and integrate across subdisciplines, BIIs focus on biological themes that enable the discoveries of life’s innovations. The outcomes from biological integration will inspire new biotechnologies and applications to drive our bioeconomy and provide solutions to societal challenges. While this solicitation focuses on the integration of biological subdisciplines, any field beyond biology may be included as needed to address the overarching biological theme.
The BII program team is hosting an informational webinar on December 2.

Is Enabling Discovery through Genomics (EDGE) the right program for you?
EDGE Informational Webinar: December 9, 2021, 2:00-3:00 PM EST
The Directorate for Biological Sciences (BIO) at the National Science Foundation (NSF) and the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) will host an informational webinar about the Enabling Discovery through GEnomics (EDGE) interagency program solicitation (21-546). Following a brief presentation, program directors from NSF and NIH will be available to answer questions from participants.
Through the EDGE program, the NSF and the NIH support genomic research that addresses the mechanistic basis of complex traits in diverse organisms within the context (environmental, developmental, social, and/or genomic) in which they function. The program also supports the development of innovative tools, technologies, resources, and infrastructure that advance biological research focused on the identification of the causal mechanisms connecting genes and phenotypes.
The slides and transcript of the webinar will be posted on the EDGE program website after the live event.
