areas where the field intersects their mission: soft robotics; bio-inspired materials and autonomous systems; computational neuroscience and sensorimotor control; radio-bio; insect brains; soft-matter circuit design; locomotion; non-equilibrium active matter; physics-based models of stochasticity in populations; inter-cellular communication; agent-based models; and more. While distributed across many dif ferent funding programs in multiple DoD agencies, this broad spectrum of topics connects with a large swath of the biological physics community.

Importantly, the CASI program has taken a broad view of the field, and grant re cipients have worked on problems ranging from the dynamics of single molecules to the behaviors of large populations of organisms. The Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation has two major initiatives that overlap the biological physics community, in Marine Microbiology and Symbiosis, and in Aquatic Systems.

Scale of Support for Individual Investigators The discussion above emphasized individual investigator grants because the majority of support for biological physics at both NSF and NIH is in this form (see Figure 9.5)
