The National Science Foundation (NSF) is soliciting applications for the Human-Environment and Geographical Sciences (HEGS) Program, which supports basic scientific research on the spatial distribution of human activity and environmental processes. Successful proposals must explain how the research will contribute to geographic and spatial scientific theory and/or methods development, as well as have positive broader impacts that benefit society. The program is situated within the Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences Division of the Social, Behavioral and Economic Sciences Directorate at NSF, so proposals must illustrate the relevance and importance of the research to people and societies. Proposals that fail to meet these program expectations will be returned without review.

The typical award values for this program range from $30,000 to $500,000, with project periods spanning 1-5 years. The awards are primarily Project Grants issued by the National Science Foundation, with research performance occurring at academic and research institutions across the United States.
