Title: Partnerships for Enhancing Expertise in Taxonomy

Brief Description: In partnership with academic institutions, botanical gardens, freshwater and marine institutes, and natural history museums, the National Science Foundation seeks to enhance taxonomic research and help prepare future generations of experts. Through this Special Biennial Competition in Systematic Biology, NSF will support competitively reviewed projects that target groups of poorly known organisms for modern monographic research. Projects must train new taxonomists (two per project minimally) and must translate current expertise into electronic databases and other products with broad accessibility to the scientific community.

Funding Type: Grant

Proposed Funding: Award Ceiling: N/A
Award Floor: N/A

Agency Deadline: March 05, 2007 First Monday in March, Every Other Year Thereafter
