Biological Oceanography (BioOce)

The Biological Oceanography Program supports fundamental research in biological oceanography and marine ecology in environments ranging from estuarine, coastal, and open ocean systems to the deep sea, as well as in the Great Lakes. Proposals submitted to the Program must have a compelling context in population, community, or ecosystem ecology or oceanography, as well as address topics that will contribute significantly to the understanding of marine or Great Lakes ecosystems. The Program supports interdisciplinary research and often co-reviews and co-funds projects with various programs in the Division of Ocean Sciences and the Directorate of Biological Sciences, among others. Some key points to consider include: * The program supports research in biological oceanography and marine ecology * Proposals must have a compelling context in population, community, or ecosystem ecology or oceanography * The program supports interdisciplinary research and co-funds projects with other programs * Details on research topics funded by the Program can be found on the NSF website
