The Division of Environmental Biology, across its four key clusters (Population and Community Ecology, Ecosystem Science, Evolutionary Processes and Systematic Biology, and Biodiversity Inventories), is offering this grant to promote understanding through comprehensive research synthesis. This grant, formally known as OPUS, encourages proposals from individuals or groups aiming to consolidate a body of their related research projects conducted over an extended period. The grant is designed to be appropriate for scientists in mid-to-late career stages, yet it also serves early career investigators by facilitating unique, integrated insights. These insights are highly valuable to the broader scientific community and instrumental for shaping the investigator’s future research trajectory. Furthermore, the OPUS grant provides essential support for collaborative efforts specifically focused on synthesizing scientific findings.

| Description: | All four clusters within the Division of Environmental Biology ( Population and Community Ecology, Ecosystem Science, Evolutionary Processes and Systematic Biology and Biodiversity Inventories) encourage the submission of proposals aimed at synthesizing a body of related research projects conducted by a single individual or a group of investigators over an extended period. OPUS proposals will often be appropriately submitted in mid-to-late career, but will also be appropriate early enough in a career to produce unique, integrated insight useful both to the scientific community and to the development of the investigator’s future work. In cases where multiple scientists have worked collaboratively, an OPUS award will provide support for collaboration on a synthesis. |
