Biological and Life Sciences Research
Programs that conduct research which focuses on the application of the biological sciences to the specific problems of biodiversity, species preservation, ecological sustainability and habitat fragmentation in the face of advancing human, social, economic and industrial pressures. Included is the study of ecology, environmental science, biological systems, extinction theory, human-animal and human-plant interaction, ecosystem science and management, wetland conservation, field biology, forest and wildlife biology and natural history.
Programs that conduct research which focuses on the relationships among organisms and between organisms and their environments, and the effects of influences such as population size, pollutants, rainfall, temperature and altitude. Utilizing knowledge of various scientific disciplines, researchers in this area may collect, study and report data on the quality of air, food, soil and water.
Programs that conduct research which focuses on disease, disability and trauma patterns within and across populations and the development of health management mechanisms to prevent and control disease outbreaks and injurious behaviors. Included are the study of biostatistics, biochemistry, molecular biology immunology, disease and injury determinants, genetic diseases and disability factors, behavioral studies, health services research, environmental disease and injury factors, and population studies.
Medical and Health Sciences Research
Programs that conduct basic and applied research which focuses on human diseases with the objective of improving human health through the development of vaccines, medicines and other forms of treatment.
Zoology/Wildlife Biology Research
Programs that conduct research which focuses on animals and wildlife, their origin, behavior, diseases and life processes. Zoology research is usually defined by the animal group studied. Specialties include ornithology (birds), mammalogy (mammals), entomology (insects), herpetology (reptiles) and ichthyology (fish).
