| Funding Opportunity ID: | 310454 | | Opportunity Number: | 19-531 | | Opportunity Title: | Frontier Research in Earth Sciences | | Opportunity Category: | Discretionary | | Opportunity Category Explanation: | | | Funding Instrument Type: | Grant | | Category of Funding Activity: | Science and Technology and other Research and Development | | Category Explanation: | | | CFDA Number(s): | 47.050 | | Eligible Applicants: | Others (see text field entitled “Additional Information on Eligibility” for clarification) | | Additional Information on Eligibility: | *Who May Submit Proposals: Proposals may only be submitted by the following: -For-profit organizations: U.S. commercial organizations, especially small businesses with strong capabilities in scientific or engineering research or education. -Non-profit, non-academic organizations: Independent museums, observatories, research labs, professional societies and similar organizations in the U.S. associated with educational or research activities. -Institutions of Higher Education (IHEs) – Two- and four-year IHEs (including community colleges) accredited in, and having a campus located in the US, acting on behalf of their faculty members.Special Instructions for International Branch Campuses of US IHEs: If the proposal includes funding to be provided to an international branch campus of a US institution of higher education (including through use of subawards and consultant arrangements), the proposer must explain the benefit(s) to the project of performance at the international branch campus, and justify why the project activities cannot be performed at the US campus. | | Agency Code: | NSF | | Agency Name: | National Science Foundation | | Posted Date: | Nov 18, 2018 | | Close Date: | Feb 20, 2019 | | Last Updated Date: | Nov 18, 2018 | | Award Ceiling: | $0 | | Award Floor: | $0 | | Estimated Total Program Funding: | $12,000,000 | | Expected Number of Awards: | 10 | | Description: | The FRES program will support research in Earth systems from its core through the critical zone. The project may focus on all or part of the surface, continental lithospheric, and deeper Earth systems over the entire range of temporal and spatial scales.FRES projects will typically have a larger scientific scope and budget than those considered for funding by core programs in the Division of Earth Sciences (EAR).FRES projects may be interdisciplinarystudies that do not fit well within the core programs or cannot be routinely managed by sharing between core programs. Innovative proposals within a single area with results that will have broad relevance to Earth Science research are also encouraged. Investigations may employ any combination of field, laboratory, and computational studies with observational, theoretical, or experimental approaches.Projects should be focused on topics that meet the guidelines for research funded by the Division of Earth Sciences. | | Version: | 1 |
