NSF Directorate of Biological Sciences invites applications for Research
Initiation Grants to Broaden Participation in Biology. RIG awards are
for beginning investigators (eligibility defined in the announcement) to
undertake activities, such as acquisition of preliminary data or
development of collaborations, that will lead to formulation of
competitive grant applications to NSF. Awards are for 24 months and are
limited to $175,000 total costs. NSF anticipates making 15-25 awards
from a total pool of up to $5 million. Accredited U.S. universities and
colleges and nonprofit academic organizations, such as independent
museums, research labs, and similar organizations in the U.S. associated
with educational or research activities, may submit proposals on behalf
of eligible individuals. Full proposals are due Jan. 12, 2009. More
