Emerging Mathematics in Biology (eMB) | NSF - U.S. National Science Foundation Emerging Mathematics in Biology (eMB) Important information for proposers and award recipients All proposals must be submitted in accordance with the requirements specified in the funding opportunity and in the Proposal & Award Policies & Procedures Guide (PAPPG) and its supplements .
All NSF grants and cooperative agreements are subject to the applicable set of NSF award terms and conditions . NSF has updated its research security policies for NSF funded projects. Supports integrative research that develops advanced mathematical theories and methods to address complex biological challenges, thereby enhancing our understanding of diverse biological systems and informing public health policy.
Supports integrative research that develops advanced mathematical theories and methods to address complex biological challenges, thereby enhancing our understanding of diverse biological systems and informing public health policy.
The Emerging Mathematics in Biology (eMB) program seeks to stimulate the development of innovative mathematical theories, techniques, and approaches to investigate challenging questions of great interest to biologists and public health policymakers.
It supports truly integrative research projects in mathematical biology that address challenging and significant biological questions through novel applications of traditional, but nontrivial, mathematical tools and methods or the development of new mathematical theories particularly from foundational mathematics, including the mathematical foundation of Artificial Intelligence/Deep Learning/Machine Learning (AI/DL/ML) enabling explainable AI or mechanistic insight.
The program emphasizes the uses of mathematical methodologies to advance our understanding of complex, dynamic, and heterogenous biological systems at all scales (molecular, cellular, organismal, population, ecosystems, evolutionary, etc.).

NSF 26-517 replaces the core solicitations of Environmental Biology, Integrative Organismal Systems and Molecular and Cellular Biosciences with a single directorate-wide opportunity. Proposals are accepted anytime, sorted centrally by NSF rather than targeted by the PI, and reorganized under three inquiry areas. Here is what the $280 million actually buys, why the loss of program targeting cuts both ways, and what to do before the September 16 webinar.
Read articleNSF obligated $6.4 billion across 6,218 awards in FY2026, down from $8.3 billion and 8,647. An August OMB apportionment carried $1.7 billion into FY2027, roughly $1 billion of it reserved for the White House Grand Research Challenges initiative. NIH, by contrast, spent its full $34 billion. Here is what the carryover mechanism actually means for your FY2027 proposal — and why the directorate you submit to now matters more than the score you get.
Read articleNSF 26-504 collapses PRFB's three competitive areas into a single AI-and-biotechnology focus area, raises the stipend to $85,000, and cuts the fellowship from 36 months to 24. The total award value fell 18.5 percent. The next deadline is September 28, 2027.
