## What the grant funds

The Engineering of Biomedical Systems program is part of the Engineering Biology and Health cluster, which includes also 1) Cellular and Biochemical Engineering; 2) Biophotonics; 3) Nano-Biosensing; and 4) Disability and Rehabilitation Engineering. The goal of theEngineering of Biomedical Systems (EBMS)program is to provide research opportunities to develop novel ideas into discovery-level and transformative projects that integrate engineering and life sciences in solving biomedical problems that serve humanity in the long-term. EBMS projects must be at the interface of engineering and biomedical sciences and include objectives that advance both engineering and biomedical sciences. The projects should focus on high impact transformative methods and technologies. Projects should include: methods, models and enabling tools for understanding and controlling living systems; fundamental improvements in deriving information from cells, tissues, organs, and organ systems; or new approaches to the design of systems that include both living and non-living components for eventual medical use in the long-term. TheEBMS programsupports fundamental and transformative research in the following areas of biomedical engineering: Development of validated models (living or computational) of normal and pathological tissues and organ systems that can support development and testing of medical interventions Design of systems that integrate living and non-living components for improved diagnosis, monitoring, and treatment of disease or injury Advanced biomanufacturing of three-dimensional tissues and organs Design and subsequent application of technologies and tools to investigate fundamental physiological and pathophysiological processes Innovative proposals outside of these specific areas of biomedical engineering may be considered. However, prior to submission, it is strongly recommended that the PI contacts the Program Director to avoid the possibility of the proposal being returned without review. Related programs also fund biomedical engineering research, and PI’s are encouraged to investigate these to find the appropriate program for submission. The long-term impact of the projects can be related to fundamental understanding of cell and tissue function in normal and pathological conditions, effective disease diagnosis and/or treatment, or improved health care delivery.
