Paragraph 1: This Federal Grant Opportunity, Magnetospheric Physics (Grant ID 359610-F), is being offered by the National Science Foundation (NSF) to support fundamental research on the magnetized plasma envelope of the Earth's outer atmosphere. The key objectives include understanding the energization by the solar wind, the origin of geomagnetic storms and substorms, the population by solar and ionospheric sources, the origin of electric fields, the coupling among the magnetosphere, ionosphere, and atmosphere, and the study of waves and instabilities in the natural plasma. Both ground-based observational programs at high latitudes and laboratory experiments applicable to the geospace environment are eligible for funding. The proposal evaluation will focus on the scientific merit, project design, and the qualifications of the research team. The deadline for submission is TBD.

Paragraph 2: The funding instrument for this opportunity is a grant, and the applicant types are unrestricted. The NSF's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will provide the funding, with recent awards under this program ranging from $79,139 to $4,893,936 and typically spanning 1-5 year project periods. The work is expected to be predominantly performed at academic facilities, field sites, scientific observatories, and research vessels across the United States, with opportunities for interdisciplinary and international collaboration.
