The National Science Foundation's Geography and Spatial Sciences (GSS) Program is seeking grant proposals for scientific research in geography and the spatial sciences. The program aims to advance theory, understanding, and address societal challenges through the integration of geographers and spatial scientists in interdisciplinary research. The program supports a variety of funding mechanisms, including regular research awards, doctoral dissertation research improvement awards, and awards for conferences, workshops, and community-serving activities. Proposals will be evaluated on their potential to contribute to scholarship by enhancing geographical knowledge, concepts, theories, methods, and application to societal problems. The grant program falls under the National Science Foundation's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (SBE) division, which supports fundamental research across a broad spectrum of social science disciplines. Award values typically range from $30,000 to $500,000, with project periods spanning 1-5 years. The research is expected to primarily occur at academic and research institutions across the United States.
