Biological Oceanography (BioOce)
Funds marine and Great Lakes ecology — from estuaries and coasts through the open ocean to the deep sea.
NSF's Biological Oceanography programme funds fundamental research in biological oceanography and marine ecology, across environments from estuarine and coastal systems through the open ocean to the deep sea, and in the Great Lakes.
Two things have to be true of a proposal. It needs a compelling context in population, community or ecosystem ecology or oceanography. And it has to address topics th…
