Biological influence on future ocean storage of carbon (BIO-Carbon)

The BIO-Carbon programme will provide new insights into the role of marine life in ocean carbon storage and robust predictions of future ocean carbon storage in a changing climate. The programme aims to highlight the importance of international waters in carbon policy and will focus on processes that are globally relevant.

NERC

Biological informatics

This research area focuses on understanding information processing in biological systems.

EPSRC

Biomaterials and tissue engineering

The application of engineering methods to create environments and or materials that promote cell or tissue growth and function, in vitro and in vivo.

EPSRC

Biomedical and health data science

The aim of this investment area is to harness, with public trust, the power of data resources and tools to gain new health and wellbeing insights. This will enable biomedical and health research on a scale not previously possible, leading to transformational advances in medicine and public health.

MRC

Biomedical Catalyst

This is Innovate UK’s flagship grant funding mechanism helping small and medium-sized businesses test and develop innovative health and care solutions across life sciences, including therapeutics, medical devices, and digital health.

The Biomedical Catalyst transforms innovative ideas into commercially viable businesses.

Innovate UKMRC

Biophysics and soft matter physics

Biophysics combines approaches from physics with biological questions and hypotheses. Soft matter physics investigates soft condensed matter systems.

EPSRC

Bioscience for an integrated understanding of health

Bioscience for an Integrated Understanding of Health is a strategic challenge which provides research and innovation funding to improve the health and wellbeing of animals and humans across the life course, with broad benefits to society and the economy.

BBSRC

Bioscience for sustainable agriculture and food

BBSRC aims to encourage a whole food-systems approach for sustainable agriculture and food (SAF) research, to deliver productive, resilient and sustainable farming. Our remit covers arable, horticultural, forage and non-food crops, farmed animals, agricultural systems and related food chains.

BBSRC

Biosphere evolution, transitions and resilience (BETR)

The aim of the BETR programme is to advance understanding of the evolution of the biosphere by integrating excellent palaeoscience (such as palaeontology, geochemistry, geochronology and phylogenomics) and cutting-edge modelling.

NERC

Bridging responsible AI divides (BRAID)

BRAID aims to bridge the divides between academic, industry, policy and regulatory work on responsible AI (artificial intelligence), integrating arts, humanities and social science research within a responsible AI ecosystem.
