NSF-BSF program: Enabling Discovery through Genomic Tools (EDGE) track in the Integrative Organismal System Division (IOS)

The Enabling Discovery through Genomic Tools (EDGE) program supports genomic research that addresses the mechanistic basis of complex traits in diverse organisms within the context (environmental, developmental, social, and/or genomic) in which they function. The EDGE program also continues to support the development of innovative tools, technologies, resources, and infrastructure that advance biological research focused on the identification of the causal mechanisms connecting genes and phenotypes.
