The Office of Biological and Environmental Research
(BER) of the Office of
Science (SC), U. S. Department of Energy (DOE) advances world-class
biological
and environmental research and provides scientific facilities to support

missions in scientific discovery and innovation, energy security, and
environmental responsibility.
BER hereby announces its interest in
receiving
applications for potential funding of computational biology and
bioinformatic
methods and analytics to enable the planned Systems Biology Knowledgebase.
The
goal of systems biology is to understand living systems, a simple microbe
or a
complex ecosystem, so well that we can develop predictive, computational
models
of the systems that ?behave? the same way as the living system.
Such
predictive
models would enable scientists to accurately predict an organism?s or a
more
complex system?s behavior.
