Decadal Assessment on Biological Physics: The Physics of Living Systems

In summer 2019 the National Academies will appoint a committee to carry out the first decadal survey on biological physics. The survey aims to help federal agencies, policymakers, and academic leadership understand the importance of biophysics research and make informed decisions about funding, workforce, and research directions. This study is sponsored by the National Science Foundation.

NOMINATE A COMMITTEE MEMBER

Community input is critical for the success of this decadal assessment. If you are interested in participating or would like to suggest a colleague, we invite you to submit a nomination for our decadal committee. Consideration of the nominations will begin on August 6, 2019.
