The National Science Foundation (NSF) provides many opportunities for funding basic research and training in ecology and related disciplines. The Foundation provides research and training support for researchers at all career stages. The purposes of this session are to inform our communities about ongoing and new funding opportunities at NSF and to receive comments and suggestions on how the Foundation can best serve the discipline. NSF representatives will include program officers and division directors from programs broadly relevant to ecology and environmental research and training.  Topics that will be covered include NSF Big Ideas and the associated solicitations, BIO Directorate 2021 priorities, NEON, Reintegrating Biology, basic research proposals and the review process, core programs, new and continuing special competitions, cross-cutting programs, and network and observatory infrastructure support. Following a brief presentation, much of the session will be town-hall style Q&A. Audience members are encouraged to bring questions.

Registration Fee: $0
