The Interdisciplinary Molecular Sciences & Training [IMST] IRG reviews crosscutting molecular science applications that focus on either application of emerging technologies to molecular problems or on training in the molecular sciences. The scientific areas are broad and would include: biochemistry, biophysics, cancer biology, cell biology, chemistry, and genetics.
The intent is to cluster for better review small business and training applications presently reviewed in the molecular sciences IRGs: Biological Chemistry and Macromolecular Biophysics (BCMB), Bioengineering Sciences & Technologies (BST), Cell Biology (CB), Genes, Genomes & Genetics (GGG), and Oncology 1 – Basic & Translational (OBT). A significant proportion of other crosscutting applications would also be reviewed in IMST, e.g., program project (P01), research resource (P41), and shared instrumentation (S10) applications.
