Supports interdisciplinary research on how living systems process information as 'information engines,' integrating physics, information theory, and biology through collaborative, early career-led pilot projects.
Seed funding for early career researchers to form new interdisciplinary teams and pursue innovative, high-impact projects in quantum science and technology.
Life Sciences supports researchers studying biological mechanisms, genetics, and intelligence in living and synthetic systems to deepen fundamental understanding and advance crop resilience and sustainability.
Supporting novel research tools and methods for biological sciences, the Infrastructure Innovation for Biological Research Program advances Bioinformatics, Instrumentation, and Research Methods to enhance researchers' abilities in manipulating, controlling, analyzing, and measuring biological systems.
The Sloan Foundation's Matter-to-Life program funds research on the physical principles and mechanisms that distinguish living systems from non-living matter, focusing on building, understanding, and detecting life.
Advancing Research at the intersection of Biology and Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning (AI/ML) supports researchers using AI/ML for biological discovery and biology-informed methods to advance both fields.
