Encourages research proposals using comparative approaches to identify evolutionary convergent adaptations to life’s challenges and the mechanisms that underlie them.
Supports research on evolutionary processes at all scales, from the molecular to biogeographic, to understand the mechanisms that shape the adaptation, distribution, speciation and diversity of life.
Supports conceptually-framed research that advances understanding of population ecology, demography, species interactions, community dynamics and the factors influencing these processes across space and time.
The DISES Program supports research projects that advance basic scientific understanding of integrated socio-environmental systems and the complex interactions (dynamics, processes, and feedbacks) within and among the environmental (biological, physical and chemical) and human ("socio") (economic, social, political, or behavioral)...
Encourages proposals or supplemental funding requests from current awardees of the Directorate for Biological Sciences to include participation of K-12 science educators in their projects.
Synopsis of Program: The OPUS program is targeted to individuals, typically at later-career stages, who have contributed significant insights to a field or body of research over time. The program provides an opportunity to revisit and synthesize that prior research...
Supports research for a period of 10 years or longer to generate an extended time series of data with a focus on evolutionary biology, ecology and ecosystem science.
Supports research and training on evolutionary and ecological processes acting at the level of populations, species, communities, ecosystems, macrosystems and biogeographic extents.
