Could the Feds really be funding Pattern Understanding???

[Paul n Shelley]

OK, put on your thinking caps fellow Permies... Biocomplexities are
right up our alley. Any ideas for a project?

> Integrated Research to Understand and Model Complexity Among

> MESSAGE OF INTENT - JANUARY 31, 2000
> RESEARCH PROPOSALS - MARCH 1, 2000

> Short Description/Synopsis of Program:
> 
> This special competition is the second year of a multi-year
> effort to enhance our understanding of the nature and dynamics of
> biocomplexity in the environment. Specifically, this special
> competition will support integrated research to better understand
> and model complexity that arises from the interaction of
> biological, physical, and social systems. Biocomplexity arises
> from dynamics spanning several levels within a system, between
> systems, and/or across multiple spatial (microns to thousands of
> kilometers) and temporal (nanoseconds to eons) scales. This
> special competition will specifically support Research Projects
> which directly explore nonlinearities, chaotic behavior, emergent
> phenomena or feedbacks within and between systems and/or
> integrate across multiple components or scales of time and space
