Opportunity Information: Apply for 18 504
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Anthropology Program Doctoral Dissertation Research Improvement Grant (DDRI) opportunity is designed to strengthen doctoral dissertation research that advances basic scientific knowledge about human biology, human ecology, and primate evolution. The program broadly supports research that helps explain our evolutionary history and the biological and ecological mechanisms that have produced diversity in humans and nonhuman primates. Projects can focus on living populations, fossil evidence, or both, and may examine questions over short time scales (such as contemporary ecological or physiological change) as well as deep evolutionary time. Research is welcome across multiple levels of analysis, ranging from molecular and genomic approaches to organismal biology, population-level patterns, and ecosystem-scale dynamics. NSF also emphasizes that biological anthropology research often intersects with culture, so projects that consider interactions between human biology and cultural or social environments fit well within the program scope.
The solicitation highlights several example areas of inquiry, while making clear that these are not the only eligible topics. These include studies of genetic, epigenetic, and genomic variation and how that variation relates to observable traits; ecological and socioecological research that links behavior, environment, and biological outcomes; functional anatomy, skeletal biology, and related work that uses structure and form to understand adaptation and evolution; and paleoanthropology and primate paleontology, including research on fossil humans and fossil nonhuman primates. The program is also open to multidisciplinary proposals that integrate biological anthropology with neighboring areas of anthropology and allied fields, including archaeology, cultural anthropology, and forensic anthropology, when that integration is scientifically meaningful and contributes to core biological anthropology questions.
A key feature of this opportunity is its focus on doctoral students enrolled at U.S. universities. The DDRI mechanism is intended to improve the quality and impact of dissertation research by providing added resources that enhance the work, such as enabling additional data collection, specialized analyses, fieldwork or lab components, computational approaches, or other research activities that make the dissertation project more rigorous or more feasible. In other words, these awards are not meant as general graduate support; they are meant to materially enhance the conduct of a specific dissertation research project that contributes to fundamental scientific understanding in biological anthropology.
In the source listing, the opportunity is identified as a discretionary NSF grant in the Science and Technology and other Research and Development category (CFDA 47.075), under funding opportunity number 18-504. The posting indicates an expected 40 awards. The award ceiling is listed as 0, which typically signals that applicants should refer to the full solicitation for budgeting limits or that the ceiling is not specified in the summary record. The opportunity record shows a creation date of October 27, 2017, with an original closing date of January 24, 2018, meaning that anyone interested today would need to look for the most current NSF DDRI solicitation or the active version of the Biological Anthropology DDRI call to confirm current deadlines, requirements, and budget parameters.Apply for 18 504
