The National Science Foundation's Geophysics Program is seeking applications for grants to support basic research in the physics of the solid earth. The program encourages a wide range of laboratory, field, theoretical, and/or computational studies that explore the composition, structure, and processes of the Earth from its surface to its deepest interior. Key research areas include understanding geohazards, crustal and lithospheric structure and dynamics, mantle composition and evolution, core structure and dynamics, and global and planetary-scale processes. Applicants may include universities and other research organizations. Proposals will be evaluated based on their potential to advance scientific knowledge and address critical challenges in geophysics.

Awards under this program typically range from $79,139 to $4,893,936 and span 1-5 year project periods. The work is predominantly performed at academic facilities, field sites, scientific observatories, and research vessels across the United States, with opportunities for interdisciplinary and international collaboration.
