PAR 08 -023 Objectives • To develop multiscale models that link at least two biological scales of modeling and accurately predict biomedical and behavioral processes in health and disease states • To develop predictive, multiscale models that link to higher levels of the physiome. Models must link to at least one scale beyond molecular interactions at the cellular level (e. g. to cell-cell, cellenvironment interactions, as listed above) • To develop predictive, multiscale models that are physiologically mechanistic and have translational potential or clinical applicability • To bring together modeling and biomedical expertise to collaborate on building multiscale model(s) • To validate and test models with standard datasets • To develop models that can be explicitly shared with other modelers
