  The National Institutes of Health, the National Science Foundation, and
  the USDA Foreign Agricultural Service and US Forest Service have jointly
  issued a Request for Applications (RFA) for the International Cooperative
  Biodiversity Groups (ICBG) grant program for integrated natural product
  drug discovery, bioinventory, conservation and economic capacity building
  in developing countries. Applications are encouraged that consider
  microorganisms from a variety of sources, marine coral reef organisms,
  and/or plants as target organisms for both inventory and drug discovery
  research. Applications must be submitted by a U.S. organization with a
  developing country partner. Other developed country partners may be
  associate program members. In addition to comprehensive grant proposals,
  planning proposals are also invited to compete for planning grants to
  consolidate development of new projects. This RFA and a number of
  resource pages, including Frequently Asked Questions, ICBG Government
  Technical Advisory Group members, potential private sector partners, and
  access and benefit-sharing articles are on the ICBG website (see link
  above),to facilitate the development of new applications.
