Description
The
Long Term Research in Environmental Biology (LTREB) Program supports the
generation of extended time series of data to address important questions in
evolutionary biology, ecology, and ecosystem science. Research areas include,
but are not limited to, the effects of natural selection or other evolutionary
processes on populations, communities, or ecosystems; the effects of
interspecific interactions that vary over time and space; population or
community dynamics for organisms that have 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
Program intends to support decadal projects. Funding for an initial, 5-year
period requires submission of a preliminary proposal and, if invited,
submission of a full proposal that includes a 15-page project description.
Proposals for the second five years of support (renewal proposals) are limited
to an eight-page project description and do not require a preliminary proposal.
