Research Support

C-DEBI is the community-initiated means of providing the collaborative framework and support that we believe is needed for new research projects to be developed in the deep subsurface biosphere.


Research Grant Program

Apply for small grants in support of projects relating to C-DEBI research themes. We invite proposals up to $50,000 for projects that are relevant to deep biosphere research and in particular complement the scientific program of recent or scheduled IODP drilling expeditions. For details, see our request for research grant proposals.


Research and Travel Exchange Program

C-DEBI facilitates scientific coordination and collaborations by supporting student, postdoctoral, and faculty exchanges to build, educate and train the deep subseafloor biosphere community. We award small research and travel grants for Center affiliates. These grants may be used to support research, travel for presenting C-DEBI research at meetings, or travel exchanges to other partner institutions or institutions that have new tools and techniques that can be applied to C-DEBI research. See more on our research and travel exchange programs.


Postdoctoral Scholar Program

The C-DEBI Postdoctoral Scholar Program supports postdoctoral research in C-DEBI laboratories. Candidate fellows are encouraged to examine the IODP Expedition Schedule prior to developing their research proposal as all fellowship research is expected to align with the objectives of an IODP Expedition that involves research into the deep biosphere. See more on our postdoctoral scholar program.


Graduate Student Fellow Program and Other Opportunities

C-DEBI also supports graduate student funding. See more on our graduate student opportunities.
