NSF-Simons Collaboration on a National Institute for Theory and Mathematics in Biology (NITMB)

The NSF-Simons Collaboration on a National Institute for Theory and Mathematics in Biology (NITMB) is a joint funding program to establish an institute that fosters collaborations between mathematicians (including statisticians and computational scientists) and biologists. It aims to promote interdisciplinary education and workforce training and to develop biology-inspired mathematical theories and modeling approaches. The program provides multi-year funding to support institute leadership, staff, travel, equipment, and related activities.

Salaries and benefits for institute leadership and staff, travel for institute members, conferences and working meetings, visitor support, equipment and supplies, and other institute-related expenses.
