Apologies for crosspostings.
The Systematic Biology program of the National Science Foundation
announces a second Special Competition, Partnerships for Enhancing
Expertise in Taxonomy (PEET), to support competitively reviewed
research projects that target groups of poorly known organisms.
Projects must encourage the training of new generations of taxonomists
and translate current expertise into electronic databases and other
formats with broad accessibility to the scientific community.
The relevant brochure is NSF97-21, available online at
ftp://stis.nsf.gov/nsf9721.txt (ASCII format) and
http://www.nsf.gov/nsf/nsfpubs/nsf9721/nsf9721.pdf (PDF format).
Print copies may be obtained by contacting:
