Description
This forecasted opportunity provides pilot grant funding for research projects that bridge biological scales to address key gaps in the mechanistic understanding of immune-related health and disease. The program is especially interested in supporting the development of in silico laboratories and computational models for evaluating both prophylactic and therapeutic interventions. Projects are encouraged to foster new approaches and ideas within immune systems modeling, particularly those that are transdisciplinary and collaborative in nature. Early-stage investigators, new collaborations, and proposals advancing multiscale modeling are strongly prioritized.
