How to Propose a new Working Group
NIMBioS WORKING GROUPS
NIMBioS Working Groups were chosen to focus on major well-defined scientific questions at the interface between biology and mathematics that require insights from diverse researchers, meeting up to three times over a two-year period. Working Groups were relatively small with no more than 15 participants, focused on a well-defined topic and had well-defined goals and metrics of success. Participation was by invitation only. NIMBioS Working Groups have produced more than 300 journal papers, 127 presentations or posters, 16 book chapters, and 21 grant proposals.
Research Highlights:
- Human risk behavior changes influenza spread. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
- Ocean viral populations that infect microorganisms vary dramatically from location to location. Nature Microbiology.
- Computational and mathematical models to investigate the theoretical and empirical origins of play. Adaptive Behavior.
- New framework for assessing the relationship between antibiotic use in livestock and the development of antibiotic resistance. White House Report.
- An integrated approach to measurement, analysis and modeling of cortical networks in the brain identified. Frontiers in Neural Circuits.
- Implications for future transmission of vector-borne diseases analyzed. Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B.
What Participants Say:
"I think the recent NIMBioS Working Group was the most productive, useful and collaborative experience in my career to date. I am simply thrilled to be a part of it."
"The NIMBioS network that brought our team of mathematicians, economists, ecologists and epidemiologists together has gone on to win grants from the NIH, the NSF and the UK's BBSRC."
"NIMBioS has united the forces of mathematical and computational biology communities and forever changed the landscape of mathematical biology research and education in the US and the world."
