Description

The Infrastructure Capacity for Biological Research (Capacity) Program supports the implementation, scaling, or major improvements to research tools, products, and services that advance contemporary biology in any research area supported by the Directorate for Biological Sciences at NSF. The program focuses on building capacity in research infrastructure broadly applicable to a wide range of researchers in Cyberinfrastructure, Biological Collections, and Biological Field Stations and Marine Laboratories. It also accepts proposals for planning activities or workshops to facilitate coordination necessary for building capacity in infrastructure that meets research community needs. Projects are expected to produce quality products, result in important science outcomes, be openly accessible to a broad scientific and education community, and serve a community of researchers beyond a single research team.
