AI summary

This program funds research in all areas supported by the Division of Environmental Biology, including ecosystem science, evolution, population and community ecology, and systematics and biodiversity science. It also accepts special proposal types such as STAR grants, international collaborative proposals with NERC or BSF, and IntBIO collaborative proposals across BIO divisions. Eligible applicants include U.S. two- and four-year colleges and universities and certain U.S.-based nonprofit, non-academic organizations; there are no limits on who may serve as PI or on the number of proposals per organization or PI. For FY 2024, NSF estimates about $100 million to fund approximately 120 new awards. No cost-share requirement is stated in the text, and some collaborations have budget caps or partner-specific limits, such as STAR projects at $400,000 or less and certain international non-lead portions capped at stated amounts.

Official description from grants.gov

The Division of Environmental Biology (DEB) Coresupports research and training on evolutionary and ecological processes acting at the level of populations, species, communities, ecosystems, macrosystems, and biogeographic extents. DEB encourages research that elucidates fundamental principles that identify and explain the unity and diversity of life and its interactions with the environment over space and time. Research may incorporate field, laboratory, or collection-based approaches; observational or manipulative studies; synthesis activities; phylogenetic discovery projects; or theoretical approaches involving analytical, statistical, or computational modeling. Proposals should be submitted to the core clusters ( Ecosystem Science , Evolutionary Processes , Population and Community Ecology , and Systematics and Biodiversity Science ). DEB also encourages interdisciplinary proposals that cross conceptual boundaries and integrate over levels of biological organization or across multiple spatial and temporal scales.Research addressing ecology and ecosystem science in the marine biome should be directed to the Biological Oceanography Program in the Division of Ocean Sciences; research addressing evolution and systematics in the marine biome should be directed to the Evolutionary Processes or Systematics and Biodiversity Science programs in DEB.
