Funding-Long Term Research in Environmental
Biology (LTREB); January 10, 2012
Agency
Name
National
Science Foundation
Synopsis
Through the LTREB program,
the Division of Environmental Biology (DEB) and the Division of Integrative
Organismal Systems (IOS) encourage the submission of proposals that generate
extended time series of biological and environmental data to address
ecological and evolutionary processes and resolve important issues in
organismal and environmental biology. Researchers must have collected at least
six years of previous data to qualify for funding, and these data must motivate
the proposed research. The proposal also must present a cohesive conceptual
rationale or framework for ten years of research. Questions or hypotheses
outlined in this conceptual framework must guide an initial 5-year proposal as
well as a subsequent, abbreviated renewal. Together, these will constitute a decadal
research plan appropriate to begin to address critical and novel long-term
questions in organismal and environmental biology. As part of the requirements
for funding, projects must show how collected data will be shared broadly with
the scientific community and the interested public.
All proposals
submitted to the LTREB program are co-reviewed by participating Clusters in the
two participating Divisions: Ecosystem Science, Population and Community
Ecology, and Evolutionary Processes in DEB, and Behavioral Systems and
Physiological and Structural Systems in IOS. Proposals must address topics
supported by these programs. Researchers who are uncertain about the
suitability of their project for the LTREB Program are encouraged to contact
the cognizant program director.
