COVID-19 19 We recognize that developments related to COVID-19 continue to cause havoc and disruption of research programs and lives. Please see NSF’s main page for information related to OMB Memorandum M -20-17 and NSF’s implementation of the memorandum, CDC guidance, Department of State travel information, and research-related information: https://www.nsf.gov/news/special_reports/coronavirus/ Please note: If you have an ongoing award and your research has been impacted by COVID-19 responses at your university or field site please make note of that in your annual reports in the Changes/Problems section

Enabling Dis iscovery ry through GE GEnomic Tools (EDGE) developing tools & resources and testing hypotheses in diverse organisms • Connecting genotype and environment to phenotype in diverse plants, animals, microbes, viruses, or fungi • Tools, approaches, and infrastructure for building and benefiting research communities • Hypothesis-driven research into mechanisms that underly complex multigenic traits • Inquiries: BIOEDGE@nsf.gov
NSF 20-532 Current solicitation FUNCTIONAL GENOMIC TOOLS TRACK: develop tools for gene manipulation and/or phenotyping, analytical approaches, or infrastructure to enable direct tests of gene function on demand in diverse plants, animals, microbes, viruses, or fungi for which these methods are presently unavailable COMPLEX MULTIGENIC TRAITS TRACK: hypothesis-driven research to understand causal mechanisms connecting genomes and complex multigenic phenomes in non- model organisms across a variety of environmental, developmental, social, and/or genomic context Functional Genomics in Diverse Organisms
NSF 20-532 Current solicitation FUNCTIONAL GENOMICS TOOLS TRACK (FGT) For example: • Development of mutant libraries and/or high-quality reference genomes • Generalizable high-throughput phenotyping methods • Innovative approaches for manipulating individual genes or multiple genes simultaneously • Innovative approaches to test gene function in targeted, single cells in organisms • Innovative approaches for establishing function of single or networks of genes COMPLEX MULTIGENIC TRAITS TRACK (CMT) For example: • Systems-level analysis of the gene regulatory networks underlying complex traits • Innovative analytical approaches to linking genes and complex traits • Elucidation of the causal connections across levels of biological organization that underlie complex multigenic traits • Elucidation of multi-genome/epigenome interactions with the environment, with the goal of predicting complex organismal phenotypes across contexts No submission deadline
