The Cyberinfrastructure for Sustained Scientific Innovation (CSSI) program seeks to enable funding opportunities that are flexible and responsive to the evolving and emerging needs in cyberinfrastructure (CI). The program continues to emphasize integrated CI services, quantitative metrics with targets for...
Supports the procurement, conversion, enhancement or annual operation of ocean, coastal, near-shore and Great Lakes facilities used for research and education.
Supports integrative, cross-disciplinary research that explores the mechanistic and eco-evolutionary responses of organisms to climate change, aiming to improve predictions, develop solutions for mitigating impacts and support the bioeconomy.
Supports development of instrumentation with broad applicability to ocean science research that enhances the observational, experimental or analytical capabilities of the ocean science research community.
Supports research on the structure and movement of oceans, how quantities are transported, how the ocean's structure interacts with biological and chemical processes within it, and the interactions between the ocean, atmosphere, climate and ice.
Supports research on ocean chemistry and the role of oceans in global geochemical cycles. Focus areas include chemical composition, speciation and transformation; internal cycling; and chemical exchanges with other Earth system components.
Supports opportunities for scientists and engineers at the associate professor rank (or equivalent) to substantively enhance and advance their research program through synergistic partnerships.
Supports creating a network of professionals to implement evidence-based best practices and resources that improve diversity, equity and inclusion within the geosciences.
Supports projects studying functional biodiversity in the context of environmental change. Projects should consider ecological and evolutionary approaches in response to the continual gain, loss and reorganization of biodiversity on a changing planet.
Much can be learned about the climate system using existing historical observations and models of current climate, but those records and models do not reflect the range of climate behavior on multi-decadal to millennial time scales, or capture tipping points...
Supports independent postdoctoral research on any topic supported by the Division of Ocean Sciences and provides professional development with a focus on developing mentoring skills to broaden participation of underrepresented groups in STEM.
Encourages proposals that enhance our knowledge of pathogen transmission dynamics through novel technologies, such as remote sensing, precision treatment and mathematical or computational models, including artificial intelligence and machine learning.
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 submission of proposals using existing International Ocean Discovery Program and Integrated Ocean Drilling Program, Ocean Drilling Program and Deep Sea Drilling Project cores for fundamental research and training.
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.
The NSF Ocean Observatories Initiative (OOI) is a community-inspired and community-serving large scale research facility enabling ocean science research. It consists of an integrated network of instrumentation arrays, distributed in various coastal and global ocean locations that collect, archive, and...
Encourages Curriculum Development and Student Engagement proposals to develop the workforce required to support current and future ocean technologies. Proposals should be submitted to the programs listed in the full document.
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.
