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.

Invites proposals for research on potential solutions and strategies that may ameliorate anthropogenic climate change.

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.

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.

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

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