Funding Search

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 proposals to repurpose a subset of stations in the Alaska Transportable Array to support observations of long-term environmental change of the Arctic.

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.

Encourages submission of proposals for projects that use/reuse long-term environmental data to advance understanding of ecological and evolutionary questions.

Encourages proposals to support both the Arctic and Antarctic research communities by leveraging existing data, physical samples and non-physical samples to advance polar science.

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.
