Towards this goal, the Center will be offering up to nine $20,000 seed grants over the next two years for innovative, new research in synthetic biology, broadly defined. Proposals can be directed at building life at any scale (e.g., electrons, macromolecules, cells, tissues, organs, organisms, communities), for example by using synthetic biology to answer fundamental questions about the design principles of life, to develop new technologies, or to solve specific real-world challenges.<\/p>\n<p>The Center presently includes 13 faculty from Dornsife, Keck, and Viterbi with diverse interests associated with synthetic biology. One of the aims of this call is to identify additional faculty aligned with the Center\u2019s objectives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n  \n\n  <\/div><\/div>\n\n\n  \n    \n\n\n\n\n\n\n<div\n  class=\"cc--component-container cc--intro-text align-center\"\n\n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  >\n  <div class=\"c--component c--intro-text\"\n    \n      >\n\n    \n          \n<div class=\"f--field f--section-title\">\n\n    \n  <h2>\n          Proposal Guidelines\n      <\/h2>\n\n\n<\/div>\n  \n          \n<div class=\"f--field f--description\">\n\n    \n  <p>Each proposal should be 1.5- to 2-pages long containing a clear description of the proposed research, including the potential impact, aims, team, budget, and a list of target announcements for larger, long-term funding. Proposals are due by January 15th, 2024 and should be submitted to Ian Ehrenreich (ian.ehrenreich@usc.edu).
