Population & Community Ecology (PCE) | NSF - U.S. National Science Foundation Core Research in Biological Sciences (BIO Core) Population & Community Ecology (PCE) Important information for proposers and award recipients All proposals must be submitted in accordance with the requirements specified in the funding opportunity and in the Proposal & Award Policies & Procedures Guide (PAPPG) and its supplements .
All NSF grants and cooperative agreements are subject to the applicable set of NSF award terms and conditions . NSF has updated its research security policies for NSF funded projects. Supports conceptually-framed research that advances understanding of population ecology, demography, species interactions, community dynamics and the factors influencing these processes across space and time.
Supports conceptually-framed research that advances understanding of population ecology, demography, species interactions, community dynamics and the factors influencing these processes across space and time. NSF BIO supports research that advances the study of population ecology, species interactions and community dynamics in terrestrial, wetland, and freshwater habitats.
Topics supported include population dynamics of individual species, demography, and fundamental ecological interactions affecting populations, communities, and their environments.
Themes include but are not limited to population regulation; food-web structure and trophic dynamics; interactions among, or within species ; mechanisms of coexistence and the maintenance of species diversity; community assembly; paleoecology; landscape ecology; disease ecology; conservation and restoration biology; behavioral ecology; and macroecology.
Projects that integrate theoretical, modeling, and empirical approaches, or that promote synthesis across spatial and temporal scales, are encouraged. NSF BIO seeks to fund projects that will change the conceptual bases of population and community ecology and have broad implications for future research.
Proposals that develop research questions within the context of existing theory and design critical tests to distinguish between alternative mechanisms are particularly encouraged, as are those that use contemporary approaches to develop new paradigms or theory. Inter- and multi-disciplinary proposals that cross traditional scientific boundaries are welcomed.
Studies that focus on the ecology of marine organisms should be directed to the NSF Directorate for Geosciences. Applied research (e.g., ecotoxicology) and research focused on human health are not supported.

MGPV Travel Grant is sponsored by Geological Society of America (GSA), Mineralogy, Geochemistry, Petrology, Volcanology Division. MGPV Travel grants support student travel to the annual GSA meeting. Applications are restricted to active graduate or undergraduate students who are the presenting authors of an accepted abstract at the annual GSA meeting.
Research Opportunities in Space and Earth Science (ROSES) - 2025: A.4 Rapid Response and Novel Research in Earth Science is sponsored by National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Science Mission Directorate (SMD). This omnibus research funding opportunity includes various program elements, with rolling submissions for Earth Science research through August 2026. Proposers to Earth Science using the NASA Center for Climate Simulation high-end computing facility must include specific budget details.
NSF 26-517 replaces the core solicitations of Environmental Biology, Integrative Organismal Systems and Molecular and Cellular Biosciences with a single directorate-wide opportunity. Proposals are accepted anytime, sorted centrally by NSF rather than targeted by the PI, and reorganized under three inquiry areas. Here is what the $280 million actually buys, why the loss of program targeting cuts both ways, and what to do before the September 16 webinar.
Read articleNSF's Arctic Research Opportunities solicitation funds roughly 75 awards a year — up to $50 million — across six program areas from natural sciences to social sciences to the Arctic Observing Network. The July 15, 2026 target date is not a hard deadline, and understanding that distinction is the first strategic decision an Arctic researcher makes. Here is how the six doors differ and how to choose the right one.
