Opportunity Information: Apply for PD 15 1491
The Biotechnology and Biochemical Engineering (BBE) program focuses on fundamental engineering research that enhances our understanding of cellular and biomolecular processes related to engineering biology. The ultimate goal is to create technologies that support advanced manufacturing and applications in biopharmaceuticals, biotechnology, and bioenergy, as well as in health or environmental sectors.
Key areas of interest include:
- Metabolic engineering and synthetic biology for biomanufacturing - Quantitative systems biotechnology - Tissue engineering and stem cell technologies - Protein engineering and design - Single-cell dynamics and modeling - Development of novel omics tools for biotechnology
Proposals related to sustainable chemistry and engineering are encouraged, with specific submission guidelines. Awards typically last one to three years, with an average size of around $100,000 per year; up to $200,000 is available for collaborative projects. All proposals must clearly outline their novelty and potential societal or industry impact.
The program encourages participation in the Faculty Early Career Development (CAREER) program, with proposals due every July for five-year awards. Other proposal types, including conferences, workshops, and special grants like RAPID and EAGER, must be discussed with the Program Director prior to submission.
Compliance with the Proposal and Award Policies and Procedures Guide is mandatory, and unsolicited proposals outside designated submission windows will not be reviewed.Apply for PD 15 1491
