Categories

Study of animals and animal life, including their structure, function, life history, interactions, classification, and evolution. This category includes all aspects of animals and animal life, animal life cycles, and animal interactions with one another or with their environment. ANIM

The science or study of the thought processes and behavior of humans and other animals in their interactions with the environment studied through observational and experimental methods. BEHA

The study of chemical substances, interactions, and processes relevant to living organisms. The science of the composition, structure, properties, and reactions of matter.   BCHM   CHEM

The study of techniques of computer science and mathematics as they relate to biological systems. The study of the measurement, properties, and relationships of quantities and sets, using numbers and symbols. The study or development of software, information processes or methodologies to demonstrate, analyze, or control a process/solution.   CBIO   MATH   SOFT

The study of the structure, function, and formation of cells. The study of cellular processes at the molecular level. The study of microorganisms, including bacteria, viruses, fungi, and pathogens.   CELL   MCRO

The science of diagnosing, treating, or preventing disease and other damage to the body or mind.   BMED

Projects that involve the application of engineering principles and design concepts to medicine and biology for healthcare purposes including diagnosis, monitoring and therapy. Projects that aim to improve human health and longevity by translating novel discoveries in the biomedical sciences into effective activities and tools for clinical and public health use.   ENBM   TMED

Studies of the environment and its effect on organisms/systems, including investigations of biological processes such as growth and life span, as well as studies of Earth systems and their evolution.   EAEV

Studies involving electrical systems in which information is conveyed via signals and waveforms for purposes of enhancing communications, control and/or sensing (i.e. Circuits; Internet of Things; Microcontrollers; Networking and Data Communications; Optics; Sensors; Signal Processing).   EBED

Studies/processes involving the production and/or storage of energy (i.e. Biological Process and Design; Solar Process, Materials, and Design; Energy Storage; Wind and Water Movement; Power Generation; Hydrogen Generation and Storage; Thermal Generation and Design; Triboelectricity and Electrolysis).   EGSD

The application of scientific and mathematical principles to practical ends such as the design, manufacture, and operation of efficient and economical machines and systems. Studies that engineer or develop processes and infrastructure to solve environmental problems in the supply of water, the disposal of waste, or the control of pollution.   ETSD   ENEV

The study of the integration of various materials forms in systems, devices, and components that rely on their unique and specific properties. It involves their synthesis and processing in the form of nanoparticles, nanofibers, and nanolayered structures, to coatings and laminates, to bulk monolithic, single-/poly-crystalline, glassy, soft/hard solid, composite, and cellular structures. It also involves measurements of various properties and characterization of the structure across length scales, in addition to multi-scale modeling and computations for process-structure and structure-property correlations.    MATS

Physics is the science of matter and energy and of interactions between the two. Astronomy is the study of anything in the universe beyond the Earth.   PHYS

Studies of plants and how they live, including structure, physiology, development, and classification. Includes plant cultivation, development, ecology, genetics and plant breeding, pathology, physiology, systematics and evolution.   PLNT

Studies in which the use of machine intelligence is paramount to reducing the reliance on human intervention.   ROBO
