Funding Opportunities at the National Science Foundation
Date: March 24, 2023
Time: 12:50 PM - 2:10 PM Mountain Time

This session is intended for faculty members, professional geographers, and graduate students who engage in basic geographic and spatial scientific research and who wish to learn about funding opportunities at the National Science Foundation. Program officers from the Human-Environment and Geographical Sciences (HEGS) Program at NSF will highlight both core funding solicitations with HEGS as well as cross-directorate opportunities of interest to geographers. They also discuss fundamentals of the merit review process (but note NSF is hosting an additional session on the NSF review process and panel service) and common pitfalls in proposals submitted to HEGS. Information will include Faculty Early-Career Development (CAREER), Mid-Career Advancement (MCA), RAPIDS, EAGER, Research Experiences for Undergraduates, funding for workshops and supplemental funding opportunities as well as the Doctoral Dissertation Improvement (DDRI) program of interest to PhD students.
National Science Foundation (NSF) Review Process and Opportunities
Date: March 24, 2023
Time: 2:40 PM - 4:00 PM Mountain Time
Room: Grand Ballroom 2, Sheraton, I.M. Pei Tower, Second Level
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Human-Environment and Geographic Sciences (HEGS) program directors organize this session for HEGS-related researchers to exchange ideas that foster understanding of and participation in NSF review processes given that scholars play essential roles in the NSF proposal evaluation process. We welcome former HEGS reviewers and panelists to share their experiences and thoughts and invite questions on obligations, perspectives, as well as pros and cons of the review process and after the review. We will open the floor for general suggestions and conclude the session with contacts and opportunities for NSF engagements.
