The Stable Isotope Foundation (SIF) is a section 501(c)(3) non-profit organization[1] founded to promote the research and development of stable isotope environments, agriculture, and refinement technologies for the promotion of the health and welfare of all people. The SIF was founded on 15 April 2008 in Grants Pass, Oregon[2].

The SIF is notable since it supports a peer reviewed scientific journal, supports ongoing research projects, raises funds for stable isotope research, and provides grant funding for stable isotope research across several disciplines.

Contents

[edit] Research Interests

The SIF funds research projects and accepts grant proposals[3] for projects that are in the following areas of interest[4]:

  • Agricultural Studies
  • Plant Physiology
  • Biological Studies
  • Ecosystem Studies
  • Isotope Research
  • Solar and Cosmic Radiation
  • Radiation Sources and Detection.

[edit] Publication

The SIF publishes a peer reviewed journal, the Annual Journal of the Stable Isotope Foundation, and accepts articles for submission[5].

[edit] Ongoing Research

The SIF supports a number of ongoing research projects[6].

  • Quantitative Analysis of Beta Particle Emissions from Plants Grown in a Stable Isotope Environment
  • Quantitative Analysis of Biometric Alpha, Beta, and Gamma Particle Emissions
