Most NSF systems and services, including NSF.gov, Research.gov and FastLane, will be unavailable from Friday, April 26, 11 p.m. EDT – Saturday, April 27, 8:00 a.m. EDT due to extended maintenance. We apologize for any inconvenience.
Supports creating a network of professionals to implement evidence-based best practices and resources that improve diversity, equity and inclusion within the geosciences.
Solicits proposals for managing the operation and maintenance of the National Geophysical Facility — an NSF-funded major facility enabling the research community to answer questions about Earth processes from local to global scales.
Supports design and implementation projects studying functional biodiversity in the context of unprecedented environmental change. Projects must integrate cellular, organismal, ecological, evolutionary, geological or paleontological approaches.
Supports research infrastructure and collaborative, interdisciplinary studies of the Earth's interior, including how interior dynamics affect the Earth’s surface and the evolution of the Earth as a whole.
Much can be learned about the climate system using existing historical observations and models of current climate, but those records and models do not reflect the range of climate behavior on multi-decadal to millennial time scales, or capture tipping points...
The Cyberinfrastructure for Sustained Scientific Innovation (CSSI) program seeks to enable funding opportunities that are flexible and responsive to the evolving and emerging needs in cyberinfrastructure (CI). The program continues to emphasize integrated CI services, quantitative metrics with targets for...
Sustained Resources only. Prior to submission of full proposals, investigators for the Sustained Resources track are required to submit a Concept Outline, which is due at least three (3) months before the full proposal target date.
Supports opportunities for scientists and engineers at the associate professor rank (or equivalent) to substantively enhance and advance their research program through synergistic partnerships.
Supports university-based centers that study the solid Earth processes underpinning natural hazards, broaden participation of underrepresented groups in the geoscience workforce, and foster community engagement through public outreach and hazard mitigation.
Encourages proposals to study other worlds as a way to broaden and deepen understanding of the Earth and its evolution, or use geoscience knowledge to understand the environments of other worlds.
Introduction The National Science Foundation (NSF) and National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have shared interests in a variety of basic and applied scientific and engineering fields. This program is designed to facilitate collaborative research and educational activities among...
This activity is designed to enhance the professional development of science educators through participation in new or on-going NSF-funded research projects. GEO encourages current grantees to identify talented teachers for participation in this opportunity.
Invites conference proposals to initiate new collaborations that will advance clean energy technologies and increase their use to benefit the economy, to ensure social justice and to serve the public good.
Invites U.S.-Swiss collaborations at the intersection of the Swiss National Science Foundation’s three research divisions and participating NSF programs.
Invites proposals from researchers hindered by teaching and mentoring loads, start-up packages, institutional infrastructure, or by lack of research support personnel. Proposals would be submitted to existing programs in the Geosciences Directorate.
Encourages proposals that foster innovative and diverse uses of collections and/or associated digital data for novel research, education and training applications within and across STEM.
Encourages proposals for workshops, research coordination networks, and Early-concept Grants for Exploratory Research (EAGER) to assemble teams of geoscientists and computer scientists working on geosciences-themed artificial intelligence research.
Supports research on Earth systems, from the core to the critical zone, with a focus on surface, continental lithospheric and deeper Earth systems over the entire range of temporal and spatial scales.
Invites proposals on fundamental research to facilitate discovery, characterization, extraction and separation of critical minerals such as essential metals and rare earth elements required to achieve a clean-energy future.
Invites Research Advanced by Interdisciplinary Science and Engineering (RAISE) and EArly-concept Grants for Exploratory Research (EAGER) proposals to all NSF Directorates in the area of clean energy technologies.
Invites geoscientists to seek supplemental funding for graduate students to complete six-month internships with public health or medical professionals on mutually beneficial projects exploring the linkage of human health and the earth environment.
