Division of Integrative Organismal Systems

The U.S. National Science Foundation Division of Integrative Organismal Systems (IOS) supports research that improves our understanding of organisms as integrated units of biological organization. IOS promotes interdisciplinary research that combines experimentation, computation and modeling to address organismal-level questions. **What we support** IOS invests in research and education that seeks to expand our understanding of organisms and how they behave, move, develop, think and interact with the world around them. Insights from IOS-funded research advance fields from climate resilience to biotechnology, energy technology and human health.
