Propose a Long Program
NITMB holds Long Programs / Scientific Focuses that address specific areas of research interest at the intersection of mathematics and biology. Each hosts 30–50 non-local participants and 20–30 local participants, with some participants staying an entire academic quarter.
Format
Long programs at NITMB will consist of 4-10 weeks of concentrated activity in a specific area of current research interest at the intersection of biological and mathematical sciences.
Long Programs offer the opportunity for faculty, postdocs, and students to be in residence at the NITMB. Those in residence conduct research, collaborate with NITMB faculty and NITMB fellows, provide training opportunities for students, and engage with additional visitors, who are invited to attend their week-long workshops.​
​
Organizers are encouraged to begin each Long Program with a tutorial workshop, with the purpose of introducing the subject to the broader
scientific community.
In addition to the Tutorial workshop, long programs include 1-3 additional weeklong workshops.
Long programs receive administrative and financial support from the Institute, allowing organizers to focus on the scientific aspects of the activities.
Propose a Long Program
We invite the submission of proposals for long programs to be held at NITMB. Planning of such programs is generally done more than a year in advance. Program Instructions

How to apply?
There are two stages:
1. Pre-proposal: provide the information described in the NITMB program template, and submit your pre-proposal to programs@nitmb.org.
2. After a pre-proposal is approved, NITMB staff and workshop committee will collaborate with the organizers to suitably develop the workshop program. This is typically an iterative process that ensures that the program aligns with NITMB mission and values.
​
Deadlines
The NITMB Workshop Committee accepts applications of pre-proposals on a rolling basis.
