NSF-BSF Joint Program in Integrative and Organismal Systems (IOS-EDGE)

(BSF deadline 12.2.19)

Aim: to develop functional genomic tools and infrastructure for manipulating genes in diverse organisms.

Examples of relevant tools, approaches, and infrastructure include, but are not limited to: · Innovative approaches for establishing gene function; · Development and testing of transformation approaches; · Expansion of the use of gene editing, knock-out, and overexpression approaches in diverse organisms; · Development of approaches to test gene function in a variety of targeted, single cells in organisms; and · Development of approaches and establishment of conditions for routinely maintaining organisms and/or obtaining biological material to test gene function efficiently.

Funding: up to $70,000 / yr for 3 years to Israeli partner. U.S. partner should contact appropriate NSF program manager to discuss the research. Israeli scientist with pending or active BSF-NSF grants are not allowed to submit (regular BSF grant is OK).
