Dear Colleagues,
I hope all of you are keeping safe and well along with your families and loved ones. As we navigate our lives through this terrible pandemic, I want to remind you that AGS staff continue to work virtually. Program directors are receiving/reviewing submissions and make funding recommendations.
Earlier this month, along with staff from Division of Grants and Agreements (DGA), AGS staff held virtual Office Hours to provide a status of our operations, post-COVID. In case you are interested in viewing the slides they are up at https://www.nsf.gov/geo/ags/docs/AGS-Virtual-Office-Hours-May-2020-Final.pdf
Enclosing a couple of items that may be of interest to you.
Best wishes

NSF 20-085 Dear Colleague Letter: Pilot Projects to Integrate Existing Data and Data-Focused Cyberinfrastructure to Enable Community-level Discovery Pathways
https://www.nsf.gov/pubs/2020/nsf20085/nsf20085.jsp
Many research communities supported by NSF are challenged by the need to manage, integrate, access, and use ever larger and diverse scientific datasets to conduct research. Through this Dear Colleague Letter (DCL), all NSF research directorates and offices jointly encourage proposals for pilot projects to develop the means of combining existing community data resources and shared data-focused cyberinfrastructure (CI) into new integrative and highly performing data-intensive discovery workflows that empower new scientific pathways.
In the DCL, some participating NSF organizations are emphasizing areas of particular interest in proposals. The DCL also provides guidance on how to submit such proposals to the Cyberinfrastructure for Emerging Science and Engineering Research (CESER) program. Interested proposers are strongly encouraged to first discuss their project idea with cognizant Program Directors in the CESER program and with the relevant NSF disciplinary research program(s). To initiate discussion of a project idea, prospective proposers are encouraged to send an email to CESERQueries@nsf.gov

The U.S. National Science Foundation propels the nation forward by advancing fundamental research in all fields of science and engineering. NSF supports research and people by providing facilities, instruments and funding to support their ingenuity and sustain the U.S. as a global leader in research and innovation. With a fiscal year 2023 budget of $9.5 billion, NSF funds reach all 50 states through grants to nearly 2,000 colleges, universities and institutions. Each year, NSF receives more than 40,000 competitive proposals and makes about 11,000 new awards. Those awards include support for cooperative research with industry, Arctic and Antarctic research and operations, and U.S. participation in international scientific efforts.
