This grant is designed to support fundamental research in biological oceanography and marine ecology, covering diverse aquatic environments. These include estuarine, coastal, open ocean systems, and the deep sea, extending also to the Great Lakes. The program seeks proposals with a strong focus on population, community, or ecosystem ecology or oceanography. Successful projects will significantly advance the understanding of marine or Great Lakes ecosystems. Emphasizing interdisciplinary approaches, this grant often involves co-review and co-funding with various programs across the Division of Ocean Sciences and the Directorate of Biological Sciences. The overall goal is to foster significant scientific contributions to aquatic biological systems.
