Supports interdisciplinary physics research; research experiences for undergraduates in physics; programs to broaden the participation of underrepresented groups in physics; and education and training of undergraduate and graduate physics students.
Supports interdisciplinary physics research; research experiences for undergraduates in physics; programs to broaden the participation of underrepresented groups in physics; and education and training of undergraduate and graduate physics students.
Synopsis
All proposals submitted to the Physics Division that are not governed by another solicitation (such as CAREER) must be submitted to its division-wide solicitation: Division of Physics: Investigator-Initiated Research Projects.
---
Supports activities in conjunction with NSF-wide programs such as Faculty Early Career Development (CAREER), Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU), and programs aimed at women, minorities, and persons with disabilities. Further information about all of these programs and activities is available in the Crosscutting Investment Strategies section of the NSF Guide to Programs.
The program also supports activities that seek to improve the education and training of physics students (both undergraduate and graduate), such as curriculum development or physics education research directed towards upper-level or graduate physics courses. The program supports research at the interface between physics and other disciplines and extending to emerging areas. Broadening activities related to research at the interface with other fields, possibly not normally associated with physics, also may be considered.
