Agriculture and Food Research Initiative - Arthropod and Nematode Biology and Management: Suborganismal Biology

The Suborganismal Biology element of the Arthropod and Nematode Biology and Management program supports hypothesis-driven research at the cellular and molecular levels to address the problem of managing arthropod and nematode pests and the Nation's over-dependence on harmful pesticide applications. Advances in the molecular genetics, physiology, biochemistry, and genomics of arthropods and nematodes are poised to provide novel solutions to these problems that threaten the Nation's food supply and natural resources. This program makes single function research awards.
