Grand opportunities: strategies for addressing grand challenges in organismal animal biology.
The Biology Directorate at the National Science Foundation (NSF) has requested that organismal biologists develop a vision and articulate the grand research challenges that will drive the future of organismal biology and the large-scale community-wide efforts that would be needed to address those challenges. Over the past decade, organismal animal biologists have been slow to develop community-...
متن کاملWorkshop on the implementation of the Grand Challenges.
The Grand Challenges in Organismal Biology (GCOB) were proposed in order to focus dialogue among organismal biologists on emerging priorities for research that require our uniquely integrative approach. The premise of the GCOB is that organisms are the key to understanding both biological phenomena and implications beyond their biological boundaries. In 2009, with encouragement from the Nationa...
متن کاملAddressing Grand Challenges In Organismal Biology: The Need For Synthesis
Animals are complex systems operating at multiple spatial and temporal scales, facing the challenge of how to change in appropriate ways, degrees, and times, in response to the diverse internal and external influences to which they are exposed. Discovering the system-level attributes of organisms that make them resilient or robust—or sensitive or fragile—to change presents a grand challenge for...
متن کاملGrand challenges in organismal physiology.
169 As physiologists, we investigate the functional properties of living systems, from their molecular basis to their integration into the whole organism, and the interactions of organisms with the biotic and abiotic environments around them. Our research programs tend to focus on particular aspects of organismal function, be it a component of an ion channel, a particular tissue type or organ s...
متن کاملA new organismal systems biology: how animals walk the tight rope between stability and change.
The amount of knowledge in the biological sciences is growing at an exponential rate. Simultaneously, the incorporation of new technologies in gathering scientific information has greatly accelerated our capacity to ask, and answer, new questions. How do we, as organismal biologists, meet these challenges, and develop research strategies that will allow us to address the grand challenge questio...
