About this opportunity
The National Science Foundation's Petrology and Geochemistry Program supports basic research on the formation of planet Earth, including its accretion, early differentiation, and subsequent petrologic and geochemical modification. The program seeks proposals that address the petrology and high-temperature geochemistry of igneous and metamorphic rocks, mineral physics, economic geology, and volcanology. 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 are also invited. The program falls under the National Science Foundation's broader Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050), which aims to expand scientific knowledge about the integrated Earth system through basic research in atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences.
Federal grant awards under this program demonstrate substantial diversity, with recent awards ranging from $79,139 to $4,893,936 and typically spanning 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 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.
