<div><br></div><div>ABOUT: <span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif">The Long Term Research in Environmental Biology (LTREB) Program supports the generation of extended time series of data to address important questions in evolutionary biology, ecology, and ecosystem science. Research areas include, but are not limited to, the effects of natural selection or other evolutionary processes on populations, communities, or ecosystems; the effects of interspecific interactions that vary over time and space; population or community dynamics for organisms that have extended life spans and long turnover times; feedbacks between ecological and evolutionary processes; pools of materials such as nutrients in soils that turn over at intermediate to longer time scales; and external forcing functions such as climatic cycles that operate over long return intervals.</span></div>
<div><span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif"><br></span></div><div><span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif">The Program intends to support decadal projects. Funding for an initial, 5-year period requires submission of a preliminary proposal and, if invited, submission of a full proposal that includes a 15-page project description. Proposals for the second five years of support (renewal proposals) are limited to an eight-page project description and do not require a preliminary proposal.</span><br>
</div><div><p style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif">Continuation of an LTREB project beyond an initial ten year award will require submission of a new preliminary proposal that presents a new decadal research plan.</p>
</div><div><div>Pre-Proposal: January 30, 2014<br></div><div>Full Proposal: August 1, 2014</div><div><p style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif"><strong>Anticipated Type of Award: </strong>Standard Grant or Continuing Grant</p>
