About this opportunity
The National Science Foundation is soliciting applications for the Biological Oceanography Program to support fundamental research in biological oceanography and marine ecology, with an application deadline of August 17, 2026. Applicant types are unrestricted. Proposals must demonstrate compelling context in population, community, or ecosystem ecology or oceanography and address topics that significantly advance understanding of marine or Great Lakes ecosystems. The program funds research across estuarine, coastal, open ocean, deep sea, and Great Lakes environments. The program supports interdisciplinary research and frequently co-reviews and co-funds projects with other programs in the Division of Ocean Sciences and the Directorate of Biological Sciences (BIO). Research topics funded include standard proposals, supplements, RAPIDS, and EAGERS. The opportunity operates under CFDA 47.050 (Geosciences). Within the parent Geosciences program, the Division of Ocean Sciences has obligated $2.27 billion across 2,527 awards since inception, with individual awards typically ranging from $24 thousand to $775 thousand.
