Division of Biological Infrastructure

The U.S. National Science Foundation Division of Biological Infrastructure (DBI) envisions a robust and resilient national infrastructure that advances fundamental biological research to transform our future. **What we support** DBI invests in research, innovation and capacity-building of cutting-edge research infrastructure for fundamental biological science, including human capital, technologies, institutes and centers, and mid- to large-scale infrastructure. **Programs** DBI maintains numerous programs that support research and education across the biological sciences. **[Human Resources Cluster](https://www.nsf.gov/funding/opportunities/human-resources-cluster "Human Resources Cluster")** Supports the development and broadening of the biological sciences workforce through training and education efforts. NSF programs funded as part of this cluster include: - [Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU)](https://www.nsf.gov/funding/opportunities/reu-research-experiences-undergraduates "Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU)") - [BIO Research Experience for Undergraduates Sites (BIO REU Sites)](https://www.nsf.gov/funding/opportunities/bio-reu-sites-bio-research-experience-undergraduates-sites "BIO Research Experience for Undergraduates Sites (BIO REU Sites)") - [Research Coordination Networks in Undergraduate Biology Education (RCN-UBE)](https://www.nsf.gov/funding/opportunities/rcn-ube-research-coordination-networks-undergraduate-biology/505495 "Research Coordination Networks in Undergraduate Biology Education (RCN-UBE)") - [Postdoctoral Research Fellowships in Biology (PRFB)](https://www.nsf.gov/funding/opportunities/prfb-postdoctoral-research-fellowships-biology/503622 "Postdoctoral Research Fellowships in Biology (PRFB)") - [Building Research Capacity of New Faculty in Biology (BRC-BIO)](https://www.nsf.gov/funding/opportunities/brc-bio-building-research-capacity-new-faculty-biology/505964 "Building Research Capacity of New Faculty in Biology (BRC-BIO)") - [Leading Culture Change Through Professional Societies of Biology (BIO-LEAPS)](https://www.nsf.gov/funding/opportunities/bio-leaps-leading-culture-change-through-professional-societies/505994 "Leading Culture Change Through Professional Societies of Biology (BIO-LEAPS)")
