NSF RFP for Biotechnology, Biochemical, and Biomass Engineering (BBBE)

NATIONAL SCIENCE FOUNDATION

TITLE:  Biotechnology, Biochemical, and Biomass Engineering  (BBBE)
NSF PD 13-1491

URL: http://www.nsf.gov/funding/pgm_summ.jsp?pims_id=501024

DUE:  15 August  2013 – 17 September  2013

SCOPE:  The Biotechnology, Biochemical, and Biomass Engineering (BBBE) program supports fundamental engineering research that advances the understanding of cellular and biomolecular processes (in vivo, in vitro, and/or ex vivo) and eventually leads to the development of enabling technology and/or applications in support of the biopharmaceutical, biotechnology, and bioenergy industries, or with applications in health or the environment.  Quantitative assessments of bioprocesses are considered vital to successful research projects in the BBBE program.   Fundamental to many research projects in this area is the understanding of how biomolecules and cells interact in their environment, and how those molecular level interactions lead to changes in structure, function, phenotype, and/or behavior.  The program encourages proposals that address emerging research areas and technologies that effectively integrate knowledge and practices from different disciplines, and effectively incorporate ongoing research into educational activities.
