About this opportunity
The National Science Foundation is soliciting applications for the Infrastructure Capacity for Biological Research (Capacity) Program, with applications due October 5, 2076. The program funds implementation, scaling, or major improvements to research tools, products, and services that advance contemporary biology across three programmatic areas: Cyberinfrastructure, Biological Collections, and Biological Field Stations and Marine Laboratories. The program explicitly excludes instrumentation (redirect to the Major Research Instrumentation program) and infrastructure developed for a specific research project, laboratory, or institution (redirect to relevant BIO divisional programs).
Eligible applicants are institutions of higher education—two- and four-year institutions, including community colleges, accredited and located in the US—and non-profit, non-academic organizations located in the US directly associated with educational or research activities, including independent museums, observatories, research laboratories, and professional societies. If a proposal involves an international branch campus of a US institution, the applicant must explain the project benefit and justify why activities cannot be performed at the US campus.
Projects must produce quality products, achieve important science outcomes for resource users, be openly accessible to a broad scientific and education community, and serve researchers beyond a single research team. The program also accepts proposals for planning activities or workshops facilitating community coordination in building capacity infrastructure.
This opportunity falls under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) and receives administrative guidance through NSF's standard application process, which requires SAM registration, a UEI, biographical sketches via SciENcv, a data management and sharing plan (two pages maximum), and a project narrative (15 pages maximum).
Synopsis
2 versions
Update #2 · Latest ·
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 for Biological 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.

Eligibility
*Who May Submit Proposals: Proposals may only be submitted by the following: -null -Non-profit, non-academic organizations: Independent museums, observatories, research laboratories, professional societies and similar organizations located in the U.S. that are directly associated with educational or research activities. -Institutions of Higher Education (IHEs): Two- and four-year IHEs (including community colleges) accredited in, and having a campus located in the US, acting on behalf of their faculty members. Special Instructions for International Branch Campuses of US IHEs: If the proposal includes funding to be provided to an international branch campus of a US institution of higher education (including through use of sub-awards and consultant arrangements), the proposer must explain the benefit(s) to the project of performance at the international branch campus, and justify why the project activities cannot be performed at the US campus.
