Emerging Mathematics in Biology
The National Science Foundation seeks to stimulate interdisciplinary and transformative research pertaining to the development of mathematical/statistical/computational theories, tools, and modeling approaches to investigate challenging questions of interest to biologists and public health policymakers. It supports research projects in mathematical biology that address biological questions through novel applications of traditional mathematical tools and methods or the development of new theories particularly from foundational mathematics and/or computational/statistical tools. All proposals should describe the research challenges associated with the proposed mathematical and modeling approaches, and explain why the biological
question is important to be addressed and why applying mathematics/modeling to the biological problem is needed to advance the biological understanding.
