- The National Science Foundation Office of Integrative Activities awarded $397,850 to the Center For Open Science, Inc. on August 1, 2026, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to coordinate researcher training, institutional support, and publication practices across academic institutions, libraries, and scientific publishers throughout the United States to advance open and reproducible research in the geosciences. The project will deliver systematic outreach and training activities at...
- The National Science Foundation Office of Integrative Activities awarded Arizona State University $176,810 on August 1, 2026, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to conduct collaborative research on the structural and thermal architecture of the North American Cordillera in southeastern California. The project integrates field observations, laboratory analyses, and structural and thermal modeling to reconstruct the tectonic and thermal history of mountains near the California-Arizona...
The National Science Foundation Office of Integrative Activities awarded the University of Arizona $124,711 on October 1, 2026, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to develop EROCK, an open digital platform and cyberinfrastructure for digital outcrop data. EROCK will combine a standards-based repository with persistent identifiers, structured metadata, and map-based discovery to make digital rock outcrop models easier to find, explore, analyze, and share. The platform will support student-led data acquisition and curation, community workshops, and formal user evaluation to ensure responsiveness to diverse user needs. By improving access to digital field data, the project aims to broaden access to field experiences for geoscience students while enabling reproducible research, supporting FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable) data practices, and sustaining the long-term value of digital outcrop data for both research and teaching. Performance occurs in Tucson, Arizona, with a period of performance running through September 30, 2029. No sub-awards are planned for this award.
