This approach certainly undercounts biological physics researchers who do not have primary appointments in physics or biophysics departments, and may include some scientists who would not identify with the definition of the field adopted in this report, but seems a reasonable proxy. Over the decade 2010–2019, NIH made approximately 170 awards per year to principal investigators (PIs)

The committee notes, more explicitly, that there are several study sections tradi tionally thought of as "biophysics" study sections, but these only serve a rather nar row slice of the biological physics community. This includes traditional structural biology and single molecule research, some works on theories and models connected FIGURE 9.3 Number of NIH awards to individual investigators, by institute.

Finding: DoD agencies have highlighted multiple areas where the interests of the biological physics community intersect their missions. Concretely, in response to the committee's request for data on the support for biological physics, representatives of several DoD agencies called out multiple
