About this opportunity
The Division of Environmental Biology (DEB) at the National Science Foundation (NSF) is seeking grant applications for research and training on evolutionary and ecological processes. The DEB encourages proposals that elucidate fundamental principles explaining the unity and diversity of life and its interactions with the environment. Eligible applicants include a wide range of entities, and the research may incorporate field, laboratory, or collection-based approaches; observational or manipulative studies; synthesis activities; phylogenetic discovery projects; or theoretical modeling. Proposals should be submitted to the core DEB clusters, and interdisciplinary proposals that cross conceptual boundaries are encouraged. Key evaluation criteria include the potential to advance scientific knowledge and address complex biological challenges.
Typical award values under the NSF Biological Sciences program range from $240,000 to over $1.5 million, with project durations spanning 2-5 years. The research is expected to be conducted at academic institutions and field research sites across the United States.
Synopsis
The Division of Environmental Biology (DEB) Coresupports research and training on evolutionary and ecological processes acting at the level of populations, species, communities, and ecosystems. DEB encourages research that elucidates fundamental principles that identify and explain the unity and diversity of life and its interactions with the environment over space and time. Research may incorporate field, laboratory, or collection-based approaches; observational or manipulative studies; synthesis activities; phylogenetic discovery projects; or theoretical approaches involving analytical, statistical, or computational modeling. Proposals should be submitted to the core clusters (Ecosystem Sciences, Evolutionary Processes, Population and Community Ecology, and Systematics and Biodiversity Sciences). DEB also encourages interdisciplinary proposals that cross conceptual boundaries and integrate over levels of biological organization or across multiple spatial and temporal scales.Research addressing ecology and ecosystem science in the marine biome should be directed to the Biological Oceanography Program in the Division of Ocean Sciences; research addressing evolution and systematics in the marine biome should be directed to the Evolutionary Processes or Systematics and Biodiversity Science programs in DEB. All DEB programs also encourage proposals that leverage NSF-supported data networks, databases, centers, and other forms of scientific infrastructure, including but not limited to the National Ecological Observatory Network (NEON), Long-Term Ecological Research (LTER), Environmental Data Initiative (EDI), and Integrated Digitized Biocollections (iDigBio).
