About this opportunity
The National Science Foundation is offering a grant opportunity titled "Sedimentary Geology and Paleobiology" to support fundamental research and educational initiatives in Earth sciences. The grant aims to expand scientific knowledge about the integrated Earth system through basic research in atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences. Key areas of focus include the changing aspects of life, ecology, environments, and biogeography in geologic time; the Earth's sedimentary lithosphere; dating and measuring the sequence of geological events; the geologic record of sediment production, transportation, and deposition; and understanding Earth's deep-time climate systems. Eligible applicants include researchers and institutions in the geosciences field.
The funding for this opportunity is provided through the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050), which typically awards grants ranging from $79,139 to $4,893,936 with project periods of 1-5 years. The work is expected to be primarily performed at academic facilities, field sites, scientific observatories, and research vessels across the United States, with opportunities for interdisciplinary and international collaboration.
Synopsis
Sedimentary Geology and Paleobiology supports studies of: (1) the changing aspects of life, ecology, environments, and biogeography in geologic time based on fossil plants, animals, and microbes; (2) all aspects of the Earth's sedimentary lithosphere - its insights into the geological processes and rich organic and inorganic resources locked in rock sequences; (3) the science of dating and measuring the sequence of events and rates of geological processes as manifested in Earth's past sedimentary and biological (fossil) record; (4) the geologic record of the production, transportation, and deposition of modern and ancient physical and chemical sediments; and (5) understanding Earth's deep-time (pre-Holocene) climate systems.
