The National Science Foundation's Division of Earth Sciences awarded $1.0 million to the Helmholtz-Zentrum Potsdam - Deutsches Geoforschungszentrum GFZ (German Research Centre for Geosciences) under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) effective February 1, 2026, through January 31, 2031. This award supports the International Continental Scientific Drilling Program (ICDP), a global partnership that provides U.S. and international scientists with access to subsurface geological materials through coordinated multinational drilling projects on land and in lakes worldwide. The funding supports ICDP's comprehensive services for scientific drilling initiatives, including project planning, logistics coordination, drilling operations, sample collection, laboratory analyses, and long-term sample archival. These drilling projects advance fundamental geoscience research across multiple disciplines—including earthquake fault characterization, geothermal resource evaluation, volcanic deformation studies, and planetary impact geology—while delivering practical societal benefits through improved natural hazard mitigation, natural resource development, and environmental understanding. The award also contributes to STEM workforce development through hands-on training opportunities integrated into large-scale international collaborative drilling efforts that are typically beyond the capacity of individual nations to execute independently.Federal Project Grant Award Summary
