SYNOPSIS
The Behavioral Systems Cluster supports research on the development, function, mechanisms, and evolutionary history of behavior, with emphasis on a vertically integrated understanding of the behavioral phenotype in nature. To foster this integrative goal, the Cluster specifically encourages projects that seek to understand how combinations of neural, hormonal, physiological, and developmental mechanisms act synergistically as a system from which behavior emerges. Laboratory work or the study of animals in captivity is encouraged, to the extent that it contributes to the understanding of behavior in natural systems.
Summary Award Information - In fiscal year (FY) 2007, the Behavioral Systems Cluster funded 17.9% of submitted proposals, and the mean annual award was $80,183. In FY 2007, the Division of Integrative Organismal Systems funded 17.1% of submitted proposals, and the mean annual award was $125,446.
