Description: |
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 inorganismal and environmental biology. Many important questions in organismal biology, ecology, ecosystem science and evolutionary biology can only be addressed with long-term data. Research areas include, but are not limited to, populations or predator-prey systems that oscillate over decades;communities of organisms that have extended life spans and long turnover times; pools of materials such as nutrients in soils that turn over at intermediate to longer time scales; external forcing functions such as climatic cycles that operate over long return intervals; and behavioral dynamics, stress physiology, or energetic condition of long-lived organisms. Investigators often are constrained in addressing questions in these areas or studying these phenomena by the relatively short support periods associated with typical research awards. |

Application Details: |
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. Proposers may opt to submit proposals in response to this Program Solicitation viaGrants.gov or via the NSF FastLane system.Funding for an initial, 5-year period requires a full 15 page proposal following the guidelines in the Grant Proposal Guide. A cogent conceptual framework for a decadal research plan is a required and a critical part of the initial proposal. This plan must clearly articulate important questions that cannot be answered with the data in hand, but that could be answered if ten additional years of data were collected.INDIRECT COSTS OF 42.1% MUST BE APPLIED TO SALARY BUDGET |

NOTE: Letters of Intent and Full Applications are to be processed through Research Development Services for institutional signatures, and are to be accompanied by a completed RDAF form (bearing applicant, Chair and Dean signatures). Requests for Institutional signatures should be received no less than 3 days prior to the posted Sponsor deadline. |
