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 for Early-Concept Grants for Exploratory Research (EAGER) and conference/workshop proposals that leverage cyberinfrastructure to advance research data management and public access.

Invites proposals for U.S.–Israel geoscience research collaborations.

Invites proposals that expand the breadth of researchers investigating the dynamics and processes within Earth’s critical zone — the region that ranges from the weathered bedrock beneath the soil to the top of the vegetation canopy.

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

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 proposals to existing NSF programs focused on advancing understanding of geoscience with artificial intelligence or machine learning.

Invites proposals to further expand the diversity of investigators exploring the dynamics and processes within Earth’s Critical Zone.

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.

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.
