Provides opportunities for undergraduate students to experience hands-on participation in research or related scholarly activity. BIO provides support to grantees who involve students in either ongoing research (REU Supplements) or special training programs (REU Sites). For additional information not found in the program announcement, contact the program officer in your area of research interest. Deadline Date
for Sites: August 17, 2004
The FY 2005 program solicitation is
under development. The next target date is expected to be in
spring 2005.
Cross-disciplinary Research at Undergraduate
Institutions (formerly Collaborative Research at Undergraduate Institutions) Deadline Date:
June 15, 2004
(Replaces the BIO Research Training Groups Activity) To meet the need for a cadre of broadly prepared Ph.D.s with the technical, professional, and personal skills essential to addressing the varied career demands of the future, NSF has developed an agency-wide initiative that sponsors the development of innovative, research-based graduate education and training programs in Ph.D.-granting institutions. The IGERT Program supports projects based on multidisciplinary research themes and organized by diverse groups of investigators with appropriate research and teaching expertise. Preliminary
Proposal Due Date: February 4, 2005
NSF Graduate Teaching Fellows in K-12 Education (GK-12) This program supports fellowships and associated training that will enable graduate students and advanced undergraduates in the sciences, mathematics, engineering, and technology to serve as resources in K-12 schools. Academic institutions apply for awards to support fellowship activities, and are responsible for selecting fellows. Deadline
Date: June 2, 2004
This program seeks to prepare minority scientists within four years of receipt of their doctoral degree for leadership positions in academia and industry. The term minority, as used here, refers to those ethnic groups that are significantly underrepresented at advanced levels of science and engineering in the U.S., i.e., Native Americans, Blacks, Hispanics, and Native Pacific Islanders. Foreign tenure can be followed by an additional third year of support at a U.S. institution. Fellows are invited to an annual meeting at NSF and are eligible to apply for research starter grants. Minority graduate students within 18 months of their doctoral degree are eligible for travel awards to visit prospective sponsors prior to preparing a fellowship application. Deadline Date:
First Monday in December
Postdoctoral
Research Fellowships in Biological Informatics Offers
Postdoctoral Research Fellowships in Biological Informatics
to recent recipients of the doctoral degree for research and
training in developing and using computational, statistical,
and other tools in the collection, organization, dissemination,
and use of information to solve problems in biology. The research
and training plan of each fellowship is expected to address
important scientific questions in contemporary biology and include
a strong linkage between computer, information, and computational
science and biology and develop and/or apply state-of-the-art
informatics tools or approaches to the stated problem. Fellows
who accept a tenure-track position following the fellowship
may apply for research starter grants. Deadline:
Second Monday in April
Supports training and research on the basic biology of protozoan, microalgal, fungal, archaeal, bacterial, and viral species that are not generally considered to be model organisms, e.g., E. coli, Saccharomyces cerevesiae, TMV. The use of model organisms in comparative studies with non-model organisms is not excluded. Studies of the interactions of these microbes among each other and with plants and animals, e.g., symbiosis, may also be supported. Applicants are reminded that BIO does not support research with disease-related goals, including the etiology, diagnosis, or treatment of physical or mental disease, abnormality, or malfunction in human beings or animals. Animal or plant models of such conditions or the development or testing of drugs or other procedures for their treatment also are not eligible for support. Deadline Date:
First Monday in October 2000 - 2003
Fiscal year 1998 was the last year for this program to support research and training in any biological science on the fundamental mechanisms underlying interactions between organisms and their environment at the molecular, cellular, organismal, population, community, and/or ecosystem levels. Former fellows are still eligible to apply for research starter grants at the end of the fellowship. Program Guideline:
NSF 94-114
This program terminated in fiscal year 1998. These Fellowships were sponsored jointly by the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation and NSF as part of a five year program to encourage and train recent Ph.D. scientists in molecular evolution. Program Guideline: NSF 93-151 (archived) The goal of the ADVANCE program is to increase the participation of women in the scientific and engineering workforce. To meet this goal, the ADVANCE program provides award opportunities for both individuals and organizations: Fellows Awards, Institutional Transformation Awards, and Leadership Awards. NSF seeks to support new approaches to improving the climate for women in U.S. academic institutions and to facilitate women's advancement to the highest ranks of academic leadership.
