This funding opportunity

is designed to accelerate advances in the biological sciences, chemical biology, biotechnology, and bioengineering via access to modern infrastructure, technology, and capacity. BioFoundries will provide the intellectual, technical, digital, and physical frameworks needed for tight integration of technology innovations and applications with foundational interdisciplinary research and training, by:

1. Serving as access points for new biological technologies, workflows, processes, automations, and knowledge bases to enable transformative discoveries;

2. Catalyzing new innovations and transformative discoveries by supporting in-house and external user-initiated research programs that take full advantage of technological and methodological advances;

3. Continuing to develop novel technologies, workflows, processes, automations, and knowledge bases that are both forward-looking and user-responsive;

4. Increasing the reproducibility of life science discoveries and data and knowledge sharing capabilities;

5. Training the next generation of the scientific workforce; and

6. Facilitating pathways to translation.
