About This Grant

<p>The&nbsp;NSF&nbsp;Geosciences&nbsp;Research&nbsp;solicitation&nbsp;supports foundational research projects that&nbsp;advance the frontiers of knowledge&nbsp;across&nbsp;all areas of the&nbsp;geosciences.&nbsp;This&nbsp;solicitation calls for proposals in three&nbsp;programs:&nbsp;</p><ul><li><p><a href="https://www.nsf.gov/funding/opportunities/ags-atmospheric-geospace-sciences-program">Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences (AGS) Program</a>;&nbsp;</p></li></ul><ul><li><p><a href="https://www.nsf.gov/funding/opportunities/earth-sciences-program">Earth Sciences (EAR) Program</a>; and&nbsp;&nbsp;</p></li></ul><ul><li><p><a href="https://www.nsf.gov/funding/opportunities/ocean-sciences-program">Ocean Sciences&nbsp;(OCE) Program</a>.&nbsp;</p></li></ul><p>These programs support projects that expand the frontiers of knowledge in science and technology. The programs encourage projects that advance research on Earth’s atmosphere and the near-Earth space environment; solid Earth sciences and Earth surface processes; and all fields of ocean science. Projects may focus on foundational research in a specific domain or cover multiple disciplines. NSF is particularly interested in intellectually ambitious and potentially transformative foundational research. Proposals need not promise a near-term product, deployment, or commercial outcome, nor need they address later-stage development to be competitive.</p>
