DESCRIPTION
This opportunity seeks proposals focused on symbiosis in aquatic systems. The effort is intended to catalyze new collaborations that combine disciplinary expertise in aquatic symbiosis with leading-edge techniques from other areas of science and complementary disciplines to accelerate discovery and address fundamental, often long-standing questions about the origin, function, and evolution of symbiotic relationships in aquatic organisms.
Proposals are expected to develop new tools, methods, and data resources, as well as create and test new theoretical frameworks. The initiative encourages integration of perspectives and approaches from other scientific and engineering fields, including areas such as biomedicine and synthetic biology, to open new pathways for discovery and support novel system design and technologies that further decode symbiotic associations.
The scope emphasizes addressing major unresolved questions in the ecology, evolution, and mechanisms of symbiotic interactions through ambitious and high-risk approaches with potential for significant impact. Submissions should align closely with the initiative’s scope and scientific priorities.
