About this opportunity
The National Science Foundation's Petrology and Geochemistry Program is seeking grant proposals for basic research on the formation of planet Earth, including its accretion, early differentiation, and subsequent petrologic and geochemical modification via igneous and metamorphic processes. Proposals may address the petrology and high-temperature geochemistry of igneous and metamorphic rocks, mineral physics, economic geology, and volcanology. The program also invites proposals focused on the development of analytical tools, theoretical and computational models, and experimental techniques for applications by the igneous and metamorphic petrology, and high temperature geochemistry and geochronology communities. The grant opportunity is open to other applicant types, and the evaluation criteria will focus on the scientific merit, broader impacts, and feasibility of the proposed research. The deadline for this opportunity is not provided in the description.
The National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program, which this grant opportunity falls under, typically awards grants ranging from $79,139 to $4,893,936 with project periods of 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 Petrology and Geochemistry Program supports basic research on the formation of planet Earth, including its accretion, early differentiation,and subsequent petrologic and geochemical modification via igneous and metamorphic processes. Proposals in this program generally address the petrology and high-temperature geochemistry of igneous and metamorphic rocks (including mantle samples), mineral physics, economic geology, and volcanology. Proposals that are focused on the development of analytical tools, theoretical and computational models, and experimental techniques for applications by the igneous and metamorphic petrology, and high temperature geochemistry and geochronology communities are also invited.
