Description

The DOE SC program in Biological and Environmental Research (BER) hereby announces its interest in receiving applications focused on genomics-based research and technical innovation that will lead to transformative approaches to determine and validate gene function. This FOA solicits applications for systems biology research on plant genomes, gene systems, and molecular processes within the DOE-BER mission-space of research in bioenergy and the environment. Innovative combinations of 'omics (e.g., genomics, epigenomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics, phenomics, etc.) and computational methodologies to deduce gene function that integrate multiple disciplines, including more traditional fields of plant biology, are strongly encouraged. DOE BER is interested in supporting research that will significantly move forward functional characterization and validation of the vast amounts of genomic information in plants studied by other BER-supported researchers. This FOA is intended to create a public benefit by increasing knowledge of our physical universe and widely disseminating that knowledge.
