| Deadline Note: |
The full proposal target dates for regular research proposals are August 15, 2008, and January 15, 2009. |
| Amount Note: |
Award size and duration are set at levels that
provide sufficient support to enable as many investigators as possible
to accomplish essential research activities on projects judged to be of
highest quality. For regular proposals, about 15 to 25 percent of
requests have been funded historically. The average award is about
$90,000 over 16 months, although awards range from $20,000 (six months)
to more than $300,000 (five years). |

| Abstract: |
The Geography and Regional Science (GRS) Program
sponsors research on the geographic distributions and interactions of
human, physical, and biotic systems on the Earth's surface.
Investigations are encouraged into the nature, causes, and consequences
of human activity and natural environmental processes across a range of
scales. Projects on a variety of topics (both domestic and
international) qualify for support if they offer promise of
contributing to scholarship by enhancing geographical knowledge,
concepts, theories, methods, and their application to societal problems
and concerns. Support also is provided for projects that explicitly
integrate undergraduate and graduate education into the overall
research agenda.

Studying Complex Systems - 21st Century Scientists Awards |
| Sponsor: |
McDonnell Foundation, James S.
21st Century Science Initiative
Studying Complex Systems Program
|
| Sponsor Type: |
Private Foundation |
| Deadline: |
March 12, 2008
|
| Upper Amount: |
$450,000 |
| Amount Note: |
A maximum of $450,000 total costs can be requested
and the funds can be expended over a minimum of three years or a
maximum of six years. |
| Eligibility: |
Applicants must have completed academic training
and hold a position compatible with the pursuit of independent
research. Applications are welcome from researchers at any stage in
their careers; however senior scientists must explain, in detail, how
they themselves (not their research assistants and post-doctoral
fellows) will use the funds to pursue break-out research substantially
different from that ongoing in their laboratories.
Applicants
must be sponsored by a nonprofit institution as defined by Section 501
(c) 3 of the United States Internal Revenue Tax Code.
There are no geographic restrictions for this grant competition. |

| Abstract: |
21st Century Research Awards are designed to
support research projects with a high probability of generating new
knowledge and insights. Projects submitted for funding consideration
should be at an early, even preliminary stage of development, and
should be intended to break new ground or to challenge commonly-held
assumptions. Projects submitted should be sufficiently novel,
cross-disciplinary, or heterodox so that they have a strong likelihood
of influencing the development of new ways of thinking about important
problems.
The Complex Systems program supports scholarship and
research directed toward the development of theoretical and
mathematical tools that can be applied to the study of complex,
adaptive, nonlinear systems. It is anticipated that research funded in
this program will address issues in fields such as biology,
biodiversity, climate, demography, epidemiology, technological change,
economic development, governance, or computation. While the program's
emphasis is on the development and application of theoretical models
used in these research fields and not on particular fields per se, JSMF
is particularly interested in projects attempting to apply complex
systems approaches to meaningful problems. Proposals attempting to
apply complex system tools and models to problems where such approaches
are not yet considered usual or mainstream (for example,
differentiating normal physiology from disease) are encouraged. |
