NSF Funding Opportunity - Biomaterials

The focus of the Biomaterials Program is the study of biologically related materials and phenomena, including biological pathways to new materials. The materials and systems of interest include biomolecules, biomolecular assemblies (systems of strongly interacting biomolecules), biomolecular systems (vesicles, membranes, and various other assemblies and networks of biomolecules), and biomimetic, bioinspired, or biocompatible materials. The methods of materials research may be applied to biological systems to discover or understand phenomena and to create or optimize materials. Consistent with DMR’s mission, awards will be in the general areas of biological condensed matter physics and chemistry, and biologically related materials science. Materials-focused proposals for research and education in these areas are encouraged. Read more
