[LTER-All-lter] Call for LTER Synthesis Working Group Proposals

[Frank Davis]

Dear Colleagues,

I am pleased to announce the first call for proposals for Synthesis Working
Groups <http://www.lternet.edu/CallForProposals> under the LTER Network
Communications Office (NCO). We are excited about the opportunity to
involve a broad cross-section of LTER and non-LTER researchers and
encourage you to circulate this announcement broadly.

For complete information, please visit the LTER Call for Proposals
<http://www.lternet.edu/CallForProposals> page. A pdf of proposal
guidelines is also attached. The submission deadline is the end of the
day *Wednesday,
March 23, 2016*, with research to begin before October 2016. Funding is
available for 2-4 projects of up to 2 years in duration.

The Project Selection Committee is most interested in proposals anticipated
to return high impact results in the five core LTER thematic areas —
primary production, population studies, organic matter dynamics, mineral
cycling, disturbance patterns and processes — but proposals in other areas
will also be considered.

Working Group proposals must include the analysis and synthesis of LTER
data from two or more sites, and may include data from other sources as
well. The call is open to all researchers who are interested in
collaborating across the network, but Working Group members should include
one or more LTER researchers who are familiar with the LTER sites and the
data that will be used in the analysis.

We are looking forward to this next step in the network's development and
an exciting set of proposals.

With Best Regards,
Frank Davis
