Description: The DOE SC Biological and Environmental Research (BER) Bioimaging Research program seeks to create a versatile &#8220;tool box&#8221; for imaging biological processes occurring within and among cells in living plants and microorganisms that may advance understanding in DOE&#8217;s energy and environmental missions. The program hereby announces its interest in receiving applications to support fundamental research towards enabling new bioimaging instrumentation capabilities for the study of plant and microbial systems which may be used in bioenergy research or other disciplines supported by BER.
