Encourages proposals that enhance our knowledge of pathogen transmission dynamics through novel technologies, such as remote sensing, precision treatment and mathematical or computational models, including artificial intelligence and machine learning.

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.

Invites U.S.- German collaboration on proposals investigating climate change that will undergo a single review process.

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.

Invites submission of proposals using existing International Ocean Discovery Program and Integrated Ocean Drilling Program, Ocean Drilling Program and Deep Sea Drilling Project cores for fundamental research and training.

Invites supplemental funding requests from active awardees of the Directorate for Geosciences to support research training for post-baccalaureate students who did not have access to these opportunities as undergraduates due to pandemic-related interruptions.

Invites proposals to deploy seafloor transponders from NSF’s instrument pool for research in the Cascadia and Alaskan subduction zones. Proposals that target volcanic processes, transform processes, plate motions or polar regions are especially encouraged.

Invites fundamental research into adaptive and/or resilient responses to natural disasters, extreme events, and other natural hazards.

Invites proposals for field campaigns to deploy seafloor transponders from the existing instrument pool for four sites at tectonic settings in the Cascadia and Alaskan subduction zones.
