Description

The National Science Foundation (NSF) is partnering with the Paul G. Allen Family Foundation to administer a grant program called Partnership to Advance Conservation Science and Practice (PACSP). This program aims to support conservation research in the United States that focuses on organismal biology, ecology, and/or evolution. The goal is to develop and implement evidence-based activities and technology solutions to advance biodiversity conservation. Proposals should involve academic-conservation organization partnerships and include ongoing assessment of biodiversity outcomes. The program emphasizes the connection between basic research questions and the implementation of conservation-focused actions. Projects that address climate and/or other environmental changes, conservation, and ecosystem health are encouraged. Proposals should also consider broader societal impacts and engage non-academic partners. NSF will fund the research scope, while the foundation will fund the conservation component of the project. For more information, visit the NSF Publication 24-531 website.

National Science Foundation
The National Science Foundation is offering a grant opportunity titled "Biodiversity on a Changing Planet". This grant aims to support research on the biodiversity dynamics and functional biodiversity in the context of environmental change, including climate change. The program encourages multidisciplinary research that integrates various scientific perspectives and scales, from organismal to ecosystem levels and from recent to deep timescales. The grant is open to non-profit organizations, institutions of higher education, and international branch campuses of US institutions. The total program funding is $17,000,000, and it is expected to award 12 grants. The deadline for proposal submission is September 5, 2024.

Division of Environmental Biology
Active
National Science Foundation
The Division of Environmental Biology (DEB) at the National Science Foundation (NSF) is offering a grant opportunity for research and training on evolutionary and ecological processes. This grant aims to support projects that investigate the unity and diversity of life and its interactions with the environment. The research can involve field, laboratory, or collection-based approaches, observational or manipulative studies, synthesis activities, phylogenetic discovery projects, or theoretical approaches. Proposals should be submitted to the core clusters within DEB, which include Ecosystem Science, Evolutionary Processes, Population and Community Ecology, and Systematics and Biodiversity Science. DEB also encourages interdisciplinary proposals that integrate across levels of biological organization or multiple spatial and temporal scales. The grant opportunity is open to non-profit, non-academic organizations such as independent museums, observatories, research laboratories, and professional societies located in the U.S. that are directly associated with educational or research activities. Institutions of Higher Education (IHEs), including community colleges, accredited in the U.S. and having a campus located in the U.S. are also eligible to submit proposals on behalf of their faculty members. International branch campuses of U.S. IHEs may also be considered if the proposal justifies the benefit of performance at the international branch campus. The grant has a funding ceiling of $5,000,000 and a floor of $5,000. The estimated total program funding is $100,000,000. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement for this grant opportunity. DEB encourages the participation of diverse talent in STEM fields, including historically under-represented or underserved populations, diverse institutions, and proposals from EPSCoR jurisdictions. The grant also supports discovery-based explorations and use-inspired, solutions-focused research. Proposals that address priority areas associated with building a resilient planet and biotechnology and the bioeconomy are particularly encouraged.

If you have any problems or questions, you can contact NSF grants.gov support at grantsgovsupport@nsf.gov. Proposals for this grant opportunity are accepted anytime.
Long Term Research in Environmental Biology
Active
National Science Foundation
The National Science Foundation is offering a grant opportunity titled "Long Term Research in Environmental Biology". This grant aims to support the generation of extended time series of data to address important questions in evolutionary biology, ecology, and ecosystem science. The research areas include studying the effects of natural selection or other evolutionary processes on populations, communities, or ecosystems, as well as the effects of interspecific interactions that vary over time and space. The grant also supports research on population or community dynamics for organisms with extended life spans and long turnover times, feedbacks between ecological and evolutionary processes, pools of materials such as nutrients in soils that turn over at intermediate to longer time scales, and external forcing functions such as climatic cycles that operate over long return intervals. The grant is open to non-profit, non-academic organizations, institutions of higher education, and other eligible applicants. The total program funding is estimated to be $6,000,000, with an award ceiling of $600,000. The grant does not require cost sharing or matching. Proposals can be submitted at any time.

Division of Integrative Organismal Systems Core Programs
Active
National Science Foundation
The National Science Foundation is offering a grant opportunity titled "Division of Integrative Organismal Systems Core Programs". This grant aims to support research in understanding the structure and function of organisms. The grant is open to non-profit organizations, independent museums, research laboratories, and institutions of higher education in the US. The total program funding is estimated to be $70,000,000. The research areas covered by the grant include developmental biology, nervous system, biomechanics, physiological processes, symbioses, genomics, and animal behavior. The grant encourages the use of systems approaches to gain insights into emergent organismal properties. Collaborative proposals that tackle bold questions in biology are also welcomed. The grant seeks to promote integrative biological research that spans different scales of organization, from molecules to ecosystems. Experimental strategies, modeling, and advanced computation are encouraged to stimulate new discoveries and theories in biology. Proposals can be submitted at any time.

National Science Foundation
The National Science Foundation (NSF) has posted a grant opportunity titled "Opportunities for Promoting Understanding through Synthesis". This grant is in the category of Science and Technology and other Research and Development. The funding instrument type is a Grant and there is no cost sharing or matching requirement. The grant is targeted towards individuals, typically at later-career stages, who have made significant contributions to a field or body of research over time. The purpose of this grant is to provide an opportunity for these individuals to revisit and synthesize their prior research into a unique, integrated product(s) that will be useful to the scientific community now and in the future. The grant encourages the submission of proposals from all four clusters within the Division of Environmental Biology, which include Ecosystem Science, Evolutionary Processes, Population and Community Ecology, and Systematics and Biodiversity Science. The estimated total program funding for this grant is $3,000,000, with an expected number of 15 awards to be given. The award ceiling is $350,000 and the award floor is $200,000. Proposals may only be submitted by non-profit, non-academic organizations such as 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) including community colleges accredited in the U.S. and having a campus located in the U.S. are also eligible to submit proposals. If the proposal includes funding to be provided to an international branch campus of a U.S. institution of higher education, 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 U.S. campus. For more information and to submit a proposal, please visit the NSF Publication 22-591 at http://www.nsf.gov/publications/pub_summ.jsp?ods_key=nsf22591.
