The FRB-CESAB, in collaboration with HEIRS (hub for Human Evolution Research Synthesis), and supported by the PNDB, is launching a call to fund two types of complementary groups:
- IdeaShare – Focuses on creating new concepts, models, and methods through interdisciplinary collaboration. It brings together biodiversity experts with specialists from other fields to explore fresh perspectives.
- DataShare – Aims to accelerate the assembly, curation, harmonization, and open sharing of biodiversity-related datasets to make them accessible and reusable for future research.
The work achieved within each group can serve as a foundation for future research proposals to more established biodiversity synthesis centres like CESAB, sDiv, or NCEAS.
What’s up for grabs?
4 projects will be funded, including:
- 3 generic groups (no restrictions on biodiversity topics)
- 1 thematic group co-funded by HEIRS, focusing on Biodiversity and Human Evolution
Key details:
- Each proposal can be submitted in either the DataShare or IdeaShare format
- Group size: max. 8 members for IdeaShare, max. 10 members for DataShare
- Funding duration: 2 years + 3 one-week meetings
- Support: Scientific, technical, and administrative help from FRB-CESAB, HEIRS (thematic group), and PNDB (DataShare groups)
