DCL Issued on new program: GEO-EMBRACE
March 23, 2023
The Directorate for Geosciences (GEO) recognizes that individuals and institutions traditionally underserved by NSF face barriers to obtaining federal funding. To lower barriers, broaden participation, and promote access to funding support, the GEO-EMpowering Broader Academic Capacity & Education (GEO-EMBRACE) Dear Colleague Letter calls attention and encourages submissions to existing NSF and GEO opportunities of potential interest to investigators faced with barriers such as those noted above.
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.
