About this opportunity
The National Science Foundation is soliciting applications for its annual Archaeometry competition with a target due date of December 1, 2026. The program funds two project categories: development or refinement of anthropologically relevant archaeometric techniques (including methods to identify organic residues on ceramics or field-applicable analytic techniques), and support for service laboratories providing dating, trace element, isotopic, and dendrochronological analyses, as well as data archives that strengthen archaeological infrastructure. Projects applying standard archaeometric techniques to answer specific archaeological questions should be submitted to the Archaeology Senior Research Awards competition instead.
PIs and co-PIs must hold a Ph.D. or equivalent education and experience sufficient to conduct independent basic research. Undergraduate and graduate students may be included in research projects but not as PI, co-PI, or senior personnel.
Proposals are evaluated by ad hoc reviewers and a panel composed of individuals with combined archaeological and archaeometric expertise. The program operates under CFDA 47.075 (Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences) within the National Science Foundation's broader basic research portfolio in social, behavioral, and economic sciences. Applications must comply with NSF Grants.gov and Research.gov submission requirements, including SAM registration with an active Unique Entity Identifier, and must be submitted in PDF format according to NSF formatting standards. Applicants are advised to submit at least five business days before the deadline to allow time for compliance error resolution.

Update #2 · Latest ·
The Archaeology Program administers an annual Archaeometry competition with a target date of December 1. The goal is to fund projects in two main categories:
- To develop or refine anthropologically relevant archaeometric techniques. Examples include the development of methods to identify specific types of organic residues on ceramics or development of field applicable analytic techniques.
- To support laboratories which provide relevant services. This includes support of service laboratories which, for example, may provide dating trace element, isotopic and dendrochronological analyses. It also includes support for data archives, which function to strengthen basic archaeological infrastructure.
Projects which apply standard archaeometic techniques with the goal to answer specific archaeological questions should be submitted to the Archaeology Senior Research Awards competition. Proposals are evaluated by both ad hoc reviewers and a panel composed of individuals who combine both archaeological and archaeometric expertise.

Eligibility
*Who May Serve as PI: PIs and co-PIs must be researchers who have a Ph.D. or equivalent education and experience, sufficient to allow them to carry out independent basic research. PIs are encouraged to include undergraduate and graduate students in their research projects, but not as PI/co-PI or senior personnel.
