The BMMB (Biomechanics and Mechanobiology) program supports transformative research in engineering biomechanics and mechanobiology, focusing on the mechanical behavior of living systems. The program encourages interdisciplinary studies and considers biological tissues as self-designing smart materials. Proposals must include a clear biological and mechanics component and improve our understanding of the mechanical behavior of living systems. The program welcomes investigations at various scales, from molecules to organisms, and encourages translation of findings into engineering science. Feasibility studies involving human volunteers or animal subjects may be supported. Proposers are encouraged to contact the program director before submission.
