Description

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 effects of natural selection, interspecific interactions, population or community dynamics, ecological and evolutionary feedbacks, nutrient pools, and climatic cycles. Proposals must address topics supported by the three clusters in the Division of Environmental Biology: Ecosystem Science, Population and Community Ecology, and Evolutionary Processes. The program intends to support decadal projects with initial funding for 5 years and potential renewal for another 5 years, requiring detailed research plans and core data descriptions.
