This Human Origins: Moving In New Directions (HOMINID) grant is designed to significantly advance our understanding of human evolution. It aims to support large-scale, long-term, and integrative research, alongside essential infrastructure projects. The initiative seeks proposals that explore the complex biological, physical, and behavioral factors shaping our species, drawing from diverse disciplines and perspectives across time and space. Awards, up to $500,000 annually for five years, are intended to foster transformative approaches to long-standing questions in human origins. The program anticipates making two awards per fiscal year, building a cohesive portfolio of research that complements and informs ongoing discoveries about the history of humanity.

Description: | This competition is directed towards increasing our knowledge of the complex biological, physical, and behavioral interrelationships that led to the development of our species and that are responsible for both the shared and variable features that characterize living human populations. It recognizes that understanding of the processes and pathways of human evolution requires input from a wide range of disciplines which examine our species from multiple perspectives and across both time and space. Accomplishing this goal requires a large scale initiative which allows research activities that go beyond the smaller, shorter duration, single investigator awards that disciplinary programs have been able to provide in the past. The Human Origins: Moving In New Directions (HOMINID) competition will support large scale, long term, integrative research and infrastructure projects through awards of up to $500,000 per year for up to five years. Contingent on the availability of funds, the program expects to make two awards in each fiscal year.It is intended that HOMINID awards will provide for transformative approaches to long-standing questions about the history of our species. Infrastructure development is also eligible for support either as a stand alone project or as part of a research award. One goal of the competition is to develop a portfolio of awards that reflects the multiple approaches to the understanding of human origins. It is expected that the combination of awards will complement each other and prove to be mutually informative as they progress. |
