DEB has implemented a single annual cycle of preliminary and full proposals for regular research submissions to the core programs.  A link to the solicitation is available at http://www.nsf.gov/funding/pgm_summ.jsp?pims_id=503634&org=DEB&from=home A link to the frequently asked questions, can be found at http://www.nsf.gov/pubs/2013/nsf13015/nsf13015.jsp

August 2, 2013 is the next deadline (by Invitation Only) for full proposals.

If you're a new visitor to the Directorate for Biological Sciences website or just want a quick visual and textual summary of our areas of support, please visit the "About BIO" web page where we have added a new interactive organization chart.

See "Additional BIO Resources" for other items of interest including BIO's New Guidance on Data Management Plans (posted 2/20/13) and BIO Dear Colleague Letters.
