Research Coordination Networks in Biological Sciences (RCN)

PROGRAM GUIDELINES

Solicitation  06-567

DUE DATES

SYNOPSIS

The goal of this program is to encourage and foster interactions among scientists to create new research directions or advance a field. Innovative ideas for implementing novel networking strategies are especially encouraged. Groups of investigators will be supported to communicate and coordinate their research, training and educational activities across disciplinary, organizational, institutional, and geographical boundaries. The proposed networking activities should have a theme as a focus of its collaboration. The focus could be on a broad research question, a specific group of organisms, or particular technologies or approaches.

In 2008 a new track was created to provide support for networks that will catalyze positive changes in undergraduate biology education (RCN-UBE)
