The National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) and the 
Division of Mathematical Sciences in the Directorate for Mathematical 
and Physical Sciences at the National Science Foundation (DMS) plan to 
support research in mathematics and statistics related to mathematical 
biology research.  Both agencies recognize the need for additional 
research at the boundary between the mathematical sciences and the life 
sciences.  This competition is designed to encourage new collaborations 
at this interface, as well as to support existing ones.  NIGMS and DMS 
anticipate making 20 to 25 awards totaling about $6 million, in each of 
fiscal years 2003 to 2005.  It is expected that each award will be 
between $100,000 to $400,000 (total costs) per year and will be for 
four or five years.  Specific information concerning the application 
and review process is available at 
http://www.nsf.gov/pubs/2002/nsf02125/nsf02125.htm.
