DEB is offering grants to support fundamental research on various environmental aspects including biodiversity, ecology, conservation biology, and global change. Research projects may involve fieldwork, experiments, synthesis activities, or theoretical approaches. Scientists studying evolutionary and ecological patterns at different scales are encouraged to apply. The grants aim to advance knowledge on populations, species, communities, and ecosystems and contribute to understanding biogeochemical cycles and ecosystem services. Researchers interested in organismal origins, functions, interactions, and evolutionary history are welcome to submit proposals. Application deadline: [closing_date].

| Description:: | The Division of Environmental Biology (DEB) supports fundamental research on populations, species, communities, and ecosystems. Scientific emphases range across many evolutionary and ecological patterns and processes at all spatial and temporal scales. Areas of research include biodiversity, phylogenetic systematics, molecular evolution, life history evolution, natural selection, ecology, biogeography, ecosystem structure, function and services, conservation biology, global change, and biogeochemical cycles. Research on organismal origins, functions, relationships, interactions, and evolutionary history may incorporate field, laboratory, or collection-based approaches; observational or manipulative experiments; synthesis activities; as well as theoretical approaches involving analytical, statistical, or computational modeling. |
