About this opportunity
The National Science Foundation is seeking grant applications for the Sedimentary Geology and Paleobiology program, which supports research in areas such as the changing aspects of life and environments in geologic time, Earth's sedimentary lithosphere, dating and measuring geological processes, production and deposition of sediments, and understanding Earth's deep-time climate systems. Key objectives include expanding scientific knowledge about the integrated Earth system through fundamental research in atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences. The evaluation criteria will likely emphasize the scientific merit, broader impacts, and feasibility of the proposed research. The deadline for this opportunity is not provided.
Grant awards under this program through the NSF's Geosciences division typically range from $79,139 to $4,893,936 and span 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 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 fossilorganisms; (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.
