About this opportunity
The National Science Foundation (NSF) is offering the Solar and Planetary Research Grants (SPG) Program, which provides individual investigator and collaborative research grants for observational, theoretical, laboratory, and archival data studies in the science of our solar system and extrasolar planetary systems. Proposals may also address projects and tools that enable and enhance research in these areas. The program excludes proposals that are solely or predominantly for the acquisition, analysis, or interpretation of space-based data from NASA-supported missions. Proposals will be evaluated based on their scientific merit, broader impacts, and project feasibility. The deadline for submitting proposals is June 6, 2025.
Typical awards under the NSF's Mathematical and Physical Sciences Federal Grant Program range from $110,000 to $605,057, with project durations commonly spanning 2-5 years. The awards support a diverse range of research projects, postdoctoral fellowships, instrumentation acquisition, and collaborative initiatives at universities across the United States.
Synopsis
The Solar and Planetary Research Grants (SPG) Program provides individual investigator and collaborative research grants for observational, theoretical, laboratory, and archival data studies in the science of our solar system and extrasolar planetary systems. Proposals for projects and tools that enable and enhance research in those areas may also be submitted. Proposals addressing the astronomy and astrophysics of stars,our galaxy, external galaxies, and cosmologywill be handled under a companion NSF solicitation,NSF 16-574, Astronomy and Astrophysics Research Grants (AAG), not under the SPG Program.Proposals that address planet formation within circumstellar disks are appropriate for this SPG Program; proposals that address star formation are better directed to the AAG Program and will not be considered by the SPG Program. Proposals submitted to one of these two programs, and deemed more appropriate for the other program, will be routed to the other program and considered during the next proposal submission season for that program. Potential proposers are cautioned that this could delay a proposal considered more appropriate to the AAG Program for up to a year. Proposals that are solely or predominantly for the acquisition, analysis, or interpretation of space-based data from NASA-supported missions will be returned without review.
