Dear Colleagues:

The rapid environmental changes currently underway create unprecedented challenges for nearly all life on earth, underscoring an imminent need for understanding organismal resilience in the face of those challenges. The Division of Integrative Organismal Systems’ (IOS) Organismal Response to Climate Change (ORCC) solicitation supports interdisciplinary research on mechanisms of organismal response to climate change that are contextualized through both an eco-evolutionary lens and a plan for use-inspired applications to better predict and mitigate the effects of a rapidly changing climate on earth’s living systems. Critical to those efforts are microorganisms, including bacteria, archaea, fungi, protists, and viruses. Whether free-living, or through partnerships with a diversity of hosts (e.g. other microorganisms, plants, or animals), microorganisms are ubiquitous, diverse, and functionally significant, persisting in spaces that undergo extreme

Dear Colleagues:

This Dear Colleague Letter (DCL) invites submissions responsive to the Industry-University Cooperative Research Center (IUCRC) program solicitation in the broad topic area of tissue-mimicking phantoms for optical medical devices.

The U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) Industry-University Cooperative Research Centers (IUCRC) program strives to build long-term partnerships among industry, academia, and government. Leveraging the IUCRC Program the NSF, in partnership with the National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering (NIBIB) at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH) at the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), is encouraging efforts to promote productive research, development and dissemination of novel tissue-mimicking phantoms for potential use in the development of future medical devices.

Research and development of tissue-mimicking phantoms as tools that can

Important Information And Revision Notes

This solicitation continues to accept full proposals that propose mechanistic studies of organismal response to climate change (ORCC) as a foundation that, when integrated with research at other levels of organization, will lead to a deeper understanding and better predictions of the integrity, the resilience, and the adaptation of biological systems to climate change.

REVISION NOTES

This revision contains an additional track for submission of proposals during FY2025, the Microorganism-mediated Organismal Resilience to Climate Change track (MMORCC track), to address significant knowledge gaps in our understanding of the molecular drivers and dynamics of microbial resilience to environmental change
