IOS Virtual Office Hour Questions: • Please submit questions via the ‘Q & A section’ available to you on WebEx • For recently asked questions and future office hour topics, see the IOS blog (www.iosblog.nsfbio.com) • For specific questions about your project, please contact a Program Director • Next IOS Virtual Office Hour: April 16 th , 2020
IOS Virtual Office Hour Today’s Topics: • Recent solicitations and Dear Colleague Letters (DCLs) • DCL 20-044: IMAGiNE 2020: Organisms in a Dynamic Environment • DCL 20-045: Plant Synthetic Biology • Open question and answer period Submit your questions via the chat/message box on your screen !
Recent Solicitations and DCLs Core IOS solicitation (20-536) has no deadlines and no submission limits. PBI (18-590) and PGRP (18-579) no deadlines, no limits • NSF 20-532 Enabling Discovery through Genomic Tools (EDGE) – new solicitation, no deadlines • NSF 20-525 Faculty Early Career Development Program (CAREER) • New solicitation, deadline for all Directorates July 27 th , 2020 • NSF 20-052 Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) DCL – call for RAPIDs • Joanna Shisler (jshisler@nsf.gov) – contact for questions • NSF 20-053 DCL on COVID-19 FAQs • NSF 20-044 and NSF 20-045 DCLs on IMAGiNE and Plant Syn. Biol.
COVID-19 Questions • NSF 20-053 is a full FAQ sheet about COVID-19 related issues • First off, NSF is still operational, we are primarily virtual. You can still contact program officers and still submit grants. • If you are worried about how travel restrictions, or quarantine, might impact your existing award contact your managing program officer • If you are applying to an NSF opportunity with a deadline, and you or your SRO are quarantined and might miss it, contact the managing program officer • If you were scheduled to be on a panel, but now do not wish to travel – virtual participation is available • If your SRO is unable or your university is closed, what about annual reports or revised budgets? – contact your program officer

Dear Colleague Letter: Plant Synthetic Biology • NSF 20-045 highlights NSFs interest in the area of plant synthetic biology across three existing programs: 1. The Plant Genome Research Program in IOS (NSF 18-579). 2. The Systems and Synthetic Biology cluster in BIO MCB (NSF18-585). 3. Division of Chemical, Bioengineering, Environmental and Transport Systems in ENG (NSF PD 20-1491). • Proposals should be submitted to the most appropriate program and the title preceded by the code “ PlantSynBio :” Areas of interest include: -Plant synthetic biology tool development -Using synthetic biology to test hypotheses and validate models -Using synthetic biology to engineer improved or modified biosynthetic pathways
