1) Program: Long Term Research in Environmental Biology (LTREB)
Agency: National Science Foundation
Next Deadline: Jul 09, 2008 (target date)
Supports the generation of extended time series of
biological & environmental data that address
ecological & evolutionary processes aimed at
resolving important issues in environmental
biology. Researchers must have collected at least 6
years of previous data & must present a cohesive
conceptual rationale or framework for 10 years of
research. Questions or hypotheses outlined in this
conceptual framework must guide an initial 5-year
proposal as well as a subsequent, abbreviated
renewal.
