paleonet Current level NSF funding - Sedimentary Geology and Paleobiology Program

[Roy Plotnick <plotnick@xxxxxxx>]

Quote without comment - Roy

Competition this year was high - one hundred proposals were submitted for a total request of $21,228,791 against an available program funding this year of just over $1.6 million. With proposal budget reductions, co-funding from other NSF programs, and funding with FY05 funds, we are only able to support less than ten proposals this year.
