About this opportunity
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Earth Sciences (EAR) is soliciting proposals for research infrastructure to advance the understanding of the Earth system. The EAR Instrumentation and Facilities Program (EAR/IF) will support requests for instrument-based and human research infrastructure that will contribute to training a diverse geoscience workforce and encourage efforts to support belonging, accessibility, justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion (BAJEDI). EAR/IF will consider proposals for equipment acquisition or upgrade, instrumentation and/or technique development, technician support, community facility support, and continental drilling planning. EAR seeks proposals that prioritize support for the U.S. Earth science community.
The program does not specify award values or budget ranges, but the Federal Grant Program under which this opportunity is assigned, the Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050), has recently awarded grants ranging from $79,139 to $4,893,936 with project periods typically spanning 1-5 years. The work is predominantly performed at academic facilities, field sites, scientific observatories, and research vessels across the United States, with numerous opportunities for interdisciplinary and international collaboration.
Synopsis
The NSF Division of Earth Sciences (EAR) hereby solicits proposals for research infrastructure that is necessary to advance understanding of the Earth System including: the structure, properties and dynamics of the solid Earth and the interactions between the solid Earth and its biosphere, hydrosphere, cryosphere and atmosphere; the history and evolution of life; and the history and dynamics of Earth's climate. The EAR Instrumentation and Facilities Program (EAR/IF) will support meritorious requests for instrument-based and human research infrastructure that will advance understanding of the Earth system, contribute toward training a diverse geoscience workforce, and encourage efforts to support belonging, accessibility, justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion (BAJEDI). EAR/IF will consider proposals for: 1) Equipment Acquisition or Upgrade 2) Instrumentation and/or Technique Development 3) Technician Support 4) Community Facility Support 5) Continental Drilling Planning EAR seeks proposals that prioritize support for the U.S. Earth science community supported by EAR core or special programs (see https://www.nsf.gov/funding/programs.jsp?org=EAR for a current list of funding programs in EAR).
