Long-Term Ecological Research

Deadline: March 4, 2016

Ongoing research at LTER sites must test ecological theories and significantly advance understanding of the long-term dynamics of populations, communities and ecosystems. It often integrates multiple disciplines and, through cross-site interactions, examines patterns or processes over broad spatial scales. Recognizing that the value of long-term data extends beyond use at any individual site, NSF requires that data collected by all LTER sites be made broadly accessible.

Biological Anthropology

Deadline: March 16, 2016

The Biological Anthropology Program supports basic research in areas related to human evolution and contemporary human biological variation. Research areas supported by the program include, but are not limited to, human genetic variation, human and nonhuman primate ecology and adaptability, human osteology and bone biology, human and nonhuman primate paleontology, functional anatomy, and primate socioecology.

Dimensions of Biodiversity

Deadline: March 17, 2016

The goal of the Dimensions of Biodiversity campaign is to transform, by 2020, how we describe and understand the scope and role of life on Earth. This campaign promotes novel integrative approaches to fill the most substantial gaps in our understanding of the diversity of life on Earth. It takes a broad view of biodiversity, and focuses on the intersection of genetic, phylogenetic, and functional dimensions of biodiversity.

Addressing Rigor in Your NIH Applications

Posted on by

Dr. Michael Lauer, the NIH Deputy Director for Extramural Research, writes to give NIH applicants real, practical advice to address rigor in their applications. Starting with applications due on January 25, 2016, scientific rigor must be addressed by focusing on four areas: scientific premise, scientific rigor, biological variables and key biological and/or chemical resources.
