Opportunity snapshot. This Grants.gov announcement - Interdisciplinary Training for Undergraduates in Biological and Mathematical Sciences - is cataloged under number 08-510 and tied to CFDA assistance listing 47.049;47.074;47.076, posted by U.S. National Science Foundation. Grants.gov currently shows the opportunity as closed, first posted on March 4, 2009 and last updated on August 12, 2011. The funding category is Discretionary, delivered as a grant.
Award economics. The award range on file is $1 -- $1,000,000. The agency has projected $3.3 million in total estimated funding for this announcement. It expects to issue 9 awards. If the agency funds the expected 9 awards from the $3.3 million estimated pool, the average award works out to roughly $367,000. Cost sharing or matching funds are required, meaning applicants must contribute a portion of the project budget from non-federal sources, factor this into your financial plan before drafting the proposal. Federal award ranges are often upper bounds; actual allocations reflect program appropriations, the strength of the applicant pool, and the evaluation committee's scoring.
Deadline and action path. This opportunity is closed. Monitoring the parent program page is the most reliable way to catch re-announcements in the next funding cycle.

Description
The goal of the Undergraduate Biology and Mathematics (UBM) activity is to enhance undergraduate education and training at the intersection of the biological and mathematical sciences and to better prepare undergraduate biology or mathematics students to pursue graduate study and careers in fields that integrate the mathematical and biological sciences. The core of the activity is jointly-conducted long-term research experiences for interdisciplinary balanced teams of at least two undergraduates from departments in the biological and mathematical sciences. Projects should focus on research at the intersection of the mathematical and biological sciences. Projects should provide students exposure to contemporary mathematics and biology, addressed with modern research tools and methods. That is, projects must be genuine research experiences rather than rehearsals of research methods. Projects must involve students from both areas in collaborative research experiences and include joint mentorship by faculty in both fields. In addition, it is expected that projects will strengthen the research and education capacity, infrastructure, and culture of the participating institutions. To this end, projects should create models for education in the mathematical and biological sciences and influence the direction of academic programs for a broad range of students. It is expected that project leadership will come from faculty in both the mathematical and biological sciences. UBM is a joint effort of the Education and Human Resources (EHR), Biological Sciences (BIO), and Mathematical and Physical Sciences (MPS) Directorates at the National Science Foundation (NSF).
