Investigative Workshops

Focusing on Broad Sets of Scientific Topics

NIMBioS Workshops bring together larger groups of people for a single meeting on a broad topic, or set of related topics, in modeling life sciences to summarize and synthesize the state of the art and identify future directions. NIMBioS Investigative Workshops have produced more than 150 journal papers, 86 presentations or posters, 2 book chapters, and 12 grant proposals.

If you are interested in getting such a group together, please reach out to us and we will help identify opportunities to target for funding and help you get a proposal together to apply for those opportunities to bring your vision to life at NIMBioS!

"NIMBioS definitely does a great job at bringing together people from different backgrounds, which I think is immensely important for progress in science"  - Carl Boettiger

"Since I work in multiple fields, I don't always get the chance to meet a huge number of people from any particular discipline. This was an excellent opportunity to remedy this. If working groups coalesce from the discussions that took place at the workshop, this will perhaps be the most promising development for the field."


"I have nothing but praise for my experience as an organizer with NIMBioS. I hope to participate in future workshops and working groups and the resulting collaborations will keep me busy in the future for quite a while. Great job!"
