Opportunity Information: Apply for 20 575
The Joint DMS/NIGMS Initiative to Support Research at the Interface of the Biological and Mathematical Sciences is a discretionary grant opportunity led by the National Science Foundation (NSF), specifically the Division of Mathematical Sciences (DMS) within the Directorate for Mathematical and Physical Sciences (MPS), in partnership with the National Institutes of Health (NIH) through the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS). The core aim is to fund fundamental research in mathematics and statistics that is directly motivated by, and necessary for, answering important questions in the biological and biomedical sciences. In practice, this means supporting projects where new mathematical theory, statistical methodology, or computational approaches are developed because current tools are not sufficient to explain, predict, or analyze complex biological systems.
A major emphasis of the program is strengthening the research bridge between mathematical sciences and life sciences. The opportunity is explicitly designed to both spark new collaborations (for example, mathematicians partnering with biologists or biomedical researchers for the first time) and to accelerate innovative work by teams that already operate at this interface. The intention is not simply to apply existing math to biology, but to advance the underlying mathematics and statistics in ways that enable deeper biological insight, stronger inference from data, and more predictive or mechanistic understanding of biological processes.
The initiative is structured around two submission tracks, which differ mainly by budget size and project duration. Track 1 supports projects requesting a total budget of up to $600,000 over a 3-year period. Track 2 supports larger efforts with a total budget of up to $1,200,000, with an award duration of 3 to 4 years. Across both tracks, the program is positioned to support a portfolio of approximately 25 awards, with an overall award ceiling set at $1,200,000, aligning with the maximum Track 2 budget.
Administratively, the opportunity is listed under Funding Opportunity Number 20-575 and uses the grant funding instrument. It falls under the broad funding activity category of Science and Technology and other Research and Development, and is associated with CFDA numbers 47.049 and 93.859, reflecting the NSF and NIH/NIGMS partnership. Eligibility is described as unrestricted, meaning it is open to any type of entity, subject to any additional eligibility clarifications that may be provided in the full solicitation text. The opportunity record indicates a creation date of May 14, 2020, and an original closing date of September 18, 2020.Apply for 20 575
