Availability of Biological Infrastructure (SABI) Core Program; no

Agency
National
Science Foundation
Description
The
Sustained Availability of Biological Infrastructure program (SABI) supports the
continued operation of extant infrastructure that will advance basic biological
research. Infrastructure supported under this program may include
cyberinfrastructure, instrumentation, experimental or observational facilities,
biological living stocks which have ongoing costs of operation and maintenance
that exceed the reasonable capacity of the host institution. Proposals must
make a compelling case that sustained availability of the proposed
infrastructure will advance or transform research in biological sciences as
supported by the National Science Foundation.
While
other programs in the Division of Biological Infrastructure focus on research
leading to future infrastructure or on the development or implementation of
shared infrastructure, this program focuses on awards that ensure the continued
availability of mature infrastructure resources critical to sustain the ability
of today’s scientific community to conduct leading edge research. Awards made
through this program are expected to lead to novel, impactful, and
transformative science outcomes through research activities enabled by their
use. Infrastructure that demonstrates substantial impact on research supported
by the Directorate for Biological Sciences and its collaborating organizations
is eligible for support under this program.
