The Interdisciplinary Molecular Sciences & Training [IMST] IRG reviews crosscutting molecular science applications that focus either on the application of emerging technologies to molecular problems or on training in molecular sciences. The scientific areas are broad and include: biochemistry, biophysics, cancer biology, cell biology, chemistry, and genetics.

IMST reviews all fellowship applications (F30, F31, F32, F33, etc.) and all small business (SBIR/STTR) grant applications (R41, R42, R43, R44, etc.) that have a scientific/technological focus appropriate for one of the current molecular science IRGs, specifically 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 are also reviewed in IMST, including program project (P01), research resource (P41), and shared instrumentation (S10).

The following review panels are included within the IMST IRG:
