About this opportunity
The National Science Foundation's Petrology and Geochemistry Program is seeking applicants 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 and minerals, mineral physics, economic geology, and volcanology. Proposals focused on the development of analytical tools, theoretical and computational models, and experimental techniques are also invited. The program supports a wide range of Broader Impacts activities, including infrastructure enhancement, partnerships with industry, and evidence-based practices to recruit and retain underrepresented individuals in the geosciences.
The federal grant program provides funding through Project Grants, 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 and minerals (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. The program supports awide rangeof Broader Impacts activities, including (but not limited to) infrastructure enhancement, partnerships with industry, and evidence-based practices that recruit and specifically retain individuals who historically have not been included in the geosciences.
