About this opportunity
The Infrastructure Capacity for Biological Research (Capacity) Program, sponsored by the National Science Foundation (NSF), aims to support the implementation, scaling, or major improvements of research tools, products, and services that advance contemporary biology. The program focuses on building capacity in three key areas: Cyberinfrastructure, Biological Collections, and Biological Field Stations and Marine Laboratories. The program will also accept proposals for planning activities or workshops to facilitate necessary coordination in building research infrastructure capacity. Key evaluation criteria include the production of quality products, achievement of important science outcomes, open accessibility to a broad scientific and education community, and serving a community of researchers beyond a single research team. The deadline for this opportunity is not provided.
The Capacity Program does not provide specific award values or budget ranges. However, the overall NSF Biological Sciences program typically awards research grants ranging from $240,000 to over $1.5 million, with project durations spanning 2-5 years. The performance locations for projects funded under this opportunity are expected to be at various academic research facilities, laboratories, and field research sites throughout the United States.
Synopsis
The Infrastructure Capacity for Biological Research (Capacity) Program supports the implementation of, scaling of, or major improvements to research tools, products, and services that advance contemporary biology in any research area supported by the Directorate forBiological Sciences at NSF. The Capacity Program focuses on building capacity in research infrastructure that is broadly applicable to a wide range of researchers in three programmatic areas: Cyberinfrastructure, Biological Collections, and Biological Field Stations and Marine Laboratories. This program will also accept proposals for planning activities or workshops to facilitate coordination that may be necessary in building capacity in infrastructure that meets the needs of a research community. Areas not included in this program are instrumentation (PIs should submit to the MRI program) and, projects that develop infrastructure for a specific research project, laboratory, or institution (PIs should submitted to the relevant BIO programs that would normally support that research). Projects are expected to produce quality products, result in important science outcomes that will be achieved by the users of the resource, be openly accessible to a broad scientific and education community, and serve a community of researchers beyond a single research team.
