SYNOPSIS

The Directorate for Biological Sciences (BIO) of the National Science Foundation (NSF) announces its intention to continue support of research to determine the functions of all genes in the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana by the year 2010. Individual investigators or groups of investigators will be supported to conduct creative and innovative, genome-wide or systems-level research designed to determine, using all available means, the functions of Arabidopsis genes. This year, as in FY 2007, the Program will focus on: (1) research on exemplary networks using high throughput methods and integrating modeling with experimental data to understand the gene circuitry underlying basic plant processes; (2) projects that will develop experimental and computational methods, tools, and resources for enabling a broad community of scientists to conduct functional genomics research on Arabidopsis; and (3) projects to perform genome-wide analyses of the gene function.
