CATEGORIES:Call for proposal
DESCRIPTION:The DOE SC program in Biological and Environmental Research (B
 ER) hereby announces its interest in receiving applications for research i
 n Environmental System Science (ESS). The goal of the ESS program in BER i
 s to advance an integrated\, robust\, and scale-aware predictive understan
 ding of terrestrial systems and their interdependent microbial\, biogeoche
 mical\, ecological\, hydrological\, and physical processes. To support thi
 s goal\, the program uses a systems approach to develop an integrative fra
 mework to elucidate the complex processes and controls on the structure\, 
 function\, feedbacks\, and dynamics of terrestrial systems\, that span fro
 m molecular to global scales\, and extend from the bedrock through the soi
 l\, rhizosphere\, and vegetation to the atmosphere. The ESS program scope 
 advances foundational process knowledge with an emphasis on understudied e
 cosystems.\n\nThis FOA will consider applications that focus on measuremen
 ts\, experiments\, field data\, modeling\, and synthesis to provide improv
 ed understanding and representation of ecosystems and watersheds in ways t
 hat advance the sophistication and capabilities of models that span from i
 ndividual processes to Earth-system scales. This FOA will encompass three 
 Science Research Areas (SRAs): 1) plant-microbe interactions in the rhizos
 phere\; 2) consequences of large-scale shifts in vegetation composition\; 
 and 3) synthesis studies that focus on legacy effects or the carbon cycle 
 and disturbance.\n\nThere are several areas of interest:\n\n	SRA 1: Plant-
 microbe Interactions in the Rhizosphere\n	SRA 2: Consequences of Large-sca
 le Shifts in Vegetation Composition\n	SRA 3: Synthesis Studies\n\nAmount/d
 uration: The award size will depend on the number of meritorious applicati
 ons and the availability of appropriated funds.\n\nDeadline: \n\n\n	Pre-ap
 plication: Nov. 29\, 2023\n	Application: Feb. 29\, 2024\n\nEligibility / R
 estrictions: EPFL researchers are eligible to apply as subawardee. The pro
 posal should include a detailed demonstration of how EPFL possesses skills
 \, resources\, and abilities that do not exist among potential domestic ap
 plicants.\n\nHow to Apply:\n\n\n	Funder Website: https://www.energy.gov/sc
