Proposal: DMS-0635561Principal Investigator: Friedman, AvnerInstitution: Ohio State UniversityProposal Title: Mathematical Biosciences InstituteABSTRACTThis is a renewal proposal for the Mathematical Biosciences Institute (MBI) at Ohio State University (OSU). The mathematical biosciences include the biological, medical, and environmental sciences where the application of mathematical, statistical, and computational science may lead to significant progress in understanding key processes in the application area. The mission of the MBI is (i) to develop mathematical theories, statistical methods, and computational algorithms for the solution of fundamental problems in the biosciences; (ii) to involve mathematical scientists and bioscientists in the solution of these problems; and (iii) to nurture a community of scholars through education and support of students and researchers in the mathematical biosciences. The Institute organizes a yearly program consisting of 6-8 workshops and several tutorials around selected themes. Workshops emphasize discussions over formal talks and offer an environment that encourages developing collaborations. The themes selected for the next three years are Bioengineering (2007-'08), Developmental Biology (2008-'09), and From Genes to Cells: Networks, Scales, and Complexity (2009-'10). A unique postdoc program is designed to develop young researchers into truly interdisciplinary scientists. They are immersed in a broad range of topics and interact with workshop participants, visiting scientists, and local researchers, while being co-mentored by a mathematical scientist and a life scientist. The Mathematical Biosciences Institute (MBI) at Ohio State University (OSU) is one of seven Mathematical Sciences Institutes (http://mathinstitutes.org/) supported by the NSF Division of Mathematical Sciences. The MBI supports programs that promote multidisciplinary research at the interface of the mathematical and life sciences. It hosts scientific programs on long (academic year) and short (one week or less) time scales. The programs are organized around selected themes, which range from Mathematical Neurosciences (2002-'03) to Systems Physiology (2006-'07) and From Genes to Cells: Networks, Scales, and Complexity (2009-'10). The MBI provides opportunities for researchers in the mathematical and life sciences to interact and form new collaborations. Most of the Institute's programs are conducted on the OSU campus, but the MBI also sponsors conferences and workshops at its academic Institute Partners. These Institute Partners and MBI's Corporate Partners contribute to the Institute's programming and planning through dedicated governance committees. The MBI website (http://www.mbi.ohio-state.edu/) describes upcoming and past programs, solicits ideas for future programs, and offers application forms for Institute activities.

提案：dms -0635561首席研究员：Friedman， avner机构：俄亥俄州立大学提案名称：数学生物科学研究所摘要这是俄亥俄州立大学（OSU）数学生物科学研究所（MBI）的更新提案。数学生物科学包括生物、医学和环境科学，其中数学、统计和计算科学的应用可能会在理解应用领域的关键过程方面取得重大进展。MBI的使命是(i)发展数学理论、统计方法和计算算法，以解决生物科学中的基本问题；（ii）让数学科学家和生物科学家参与解决这些问题；（iii）通过教育和支持数学生物科学领域的学生和研究人员，培养一个学者社区。该研究所每年组织一个由6-8个研讨会和围绕选定主题的几个教程组成的项目。讲习班强调讨论而不是正式会谈，并提供了一个鼓励发展合作的环境。未来三年的主题是生物工程（2007- 08）、发育生物学（2008- 09）和从基因到细胞：网络、规模和复杂性（2009- 10）。一个独特的博士后项目旨在培养年轻的研究人员成为真正的跨学科科学家。他们沉浸在广泛的主题中，与研讨会参与者、访问科学家和当地研究人员互动，同时由一位数学科学家和一位生命科学家共同指导。俄亥俄州立大学数学生物科学研究所（MBI）是由美国国家科学基金会数学科学部支持的七个数学科学研究所之一（http://mathinstitutes.org/）。MBI支持促进数学和生命科学交叉领域多学科研究的项目。它在长（学年）和短（一周或更短）的时间尺度上举办科学项目。这些项目是围绕选定的主题组织的，范围从数学神经科学（2002- 03）到系统生理学（2006- 07）和从基因到细胞：网络，规模和复杂性（2009- 10）。MBI为数学和生命科学领域的研究人员提供了互动和形成新合作的机会。该研究所的大部分项目都在俄勒冈州立大学校园内进行，但MBI也在其学术机构合作伙伴那里赞助会议和研讨会。这些研究所合作伙伴和MBI的企业合作伙伴通过专门的治理委员会为研究所的规划和规划做出贡献。MBI网站（http://www.mbi.ohio-state.edu/）介绍即将开展和过去的项目，征求未来项目的想法，并提供研究所活动的申请表格。
