Life innovates, biology integrates
Biology Rules of Life Track: • Integrative research on questions linking levels of biological organization• Understanding general principles governing key properties of living systems
NSF 20-502 Rules of Life Track
• To be responsive to the RoL track, proposed activities must• Engage or enable innovative approaches to fundamental questions in biology;• Promise results or approaches that are generalizable beyond particular study
systems;• Seek to discover, enable and/or test foundational principles (rules, theory)
that explain or predict the emergence of complex phenomena in biology; and• Apply integrative approaches that span levels of biological organization
beyond the funding programs within a single BIO division.

NSF 20-502 Rules of Life Track
• Additional priorities for Rules of Life proposals include research projects that:
• Emphasize scaling and feedback mechanisms across hierarchical levels of biological organization, including research spanning spatial and temporal scales;
• Use or develop novel approaches or tools to fill significant gaps in understanding structure and function of biological systems;
• Leverage existing infrastructure, data products, and other resources to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of research and training activities;
• Effectively integrate research and cross-disciplinary training throughout the duration of the project; and
• Build research capacity among traditionally underrepresented groups.
