Colleagues,

The Graduate Research Fellowship Program (GRFP) is a fantastic opportunity for students to pursue advanced degrees with three years of full funding support.  If you have a student who is eligible and is considering the GRFP, please refer them to the upcoming GRFP Virtual Office Hour for Geosciences which will be held on Monday, August 14^th at 2pm eastern.  Participants may register ahead of time at this link:  Webinar Registration - Zoom (zoomgov.com).

Outreach

The monthly GEO EMBRACE Virtual Office Hour will be on Thursday, August 17^th at 4pm eastern.  Meeting registration is at this link:  https://nsf.zoomgov.com/meeting/register/vJItd-iorzMpHoPt-itCmzEgI3gSyX0Mkng.

Funding Opportunities

A reminder that the Major Research Instrumentation proposal deadlines have now permanently moved to the Fall.  The submission window for the FY24 competition is October 16^th to November 15^th, 2023.  

We would also like to remind the community of a couple of the standing Dear Colleague Letters (DCLs) that GEO or AGS released over the summer:

• Extreme, Compound, and Cascading Hazards (EC2H)
• Critical Research on GreenHouse Gas Transport and Fate in the Planetary Boundary Layer and Above (GHG-PBLA)

Personnel

AGS would like to welcome Dr. Mea S. Cook who will join AGS as an IPA (rotator) Program Director in the Paleoclimate Program.  Dr. Cook is a professor of Geosciences at Williams College, where she studies ocean circulation and climate variability of the late Pleistocene.  Dr. Cook will join AGS on Monday, August 14^th and her email will be mcook@nsf.gov.

AGS is still receiving proposals for the joint CLD/PDM rotator position described in the prior outreach email.  The official position posting is here and any inquiries can be sent to Dr. Yu Gu (ygu@nsf.gov).

Thank you, and as always, please feel free to disseminate widely.
