OpportunityTitle: Systems Biology Enabled Research on the Roles of Microbiomes in Nutrient Cycling Processes
AdditionalInformationOnEligibility: All types of institutions are eligible to apply as the prime applicant (lead institution), except DOE/NNSA National Laboratories, other non-DOE Federal Agencies, Federally Funded Research and Development Center (FFRDC) Contractors, and nonprofit organizations described in section 501(c)(4) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 that engaged in lobbying activities after December 31, 1995.Individual applicants or applicants that are not domestic organizations should be advised that:&#8226; Individual applicants are unlikely to possess the skills, abilities, and resources to successfully accomplish the objectives of this FOA. Individual applicants are encouraged to address this concern in their applications and to demonstrate how they will accomplish the objectives of this FOA.&#8226; Non-domestic applicants are advised that successful applications from non-domestic applicants include a detailed demonstration of how the applicant possesses skills, resources, and abilities that do not exist among potential domestic applicants.
Description: The DOE SC program in Biological and Environmental Research (BER) hereby announces its interest in receiving applications for research within the Genomic Science Program (GSP) (http://genomicscience.energy.gov) mission-space. This FOA solicits applications for: i.) systems biology studies on regulatory, metabolic, and signaling networks of microbes, microbial consortia, and microbe-plant interactions involved in biogeochemical cycling of nutrients; and ii.) development and application of &#8211;omics approaches to investigate microbial community processes involved in biogeochemical nutrient cycling in terrestrial ecosystems. All research supported from awards under this FOA is intended to benefit the public through increasing our understanding of the physical universe.
