Funding in Evolutionary Processes
June 29, 2009 / Posted by: Aaron Gronstal
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Environmental Biology has released a solicitation for opportunities in the study of Evolutionary Processes. The aim is support research on microevolutionary processes and their macroevolutionary consequences. A wide range of topics are of interest, including mutation, gene flow, natural selection and genetic drift. Understanding how genetically-based changes in organisms affect long-term evolution is of great importance to astrobiology.
