FUNDING
National Science Foundation

• NSF Funding search
• Antarctic Sciences now has two different calls:
  • Research not requiring field support (NSF 23-508) - rolling deadline
  • Research requiring field support (NSF 23-509) - due January 17
• Paleo Perspectives on Present and Projected Climate (P4CLIMATE) competition is a coordinated paleoclimate science initiative funded by NSF Divisions of Atmospheric and GeoSpace Sciences (AGS), Earth Sciences (EAR), Ocean Sciences (OCE), and Office of Polar Programs (OPP) in the Geosciences (GEO) Directorate. The annual P4CLIMATE competition supports the scientific objectives of the NSF by fostering interdisciplinary research and synthesis of climate data. The goal of the interdisciplinary P4CLIMATE solicitation is to utilize observational and modeling studies to provide paleo perspectives addressing the two research themes: 1) Past Regional and Seasonal Climate; and 2) Past Climate Forcing, Sensitivity, and Feedbacks. 

Support for early scientists
• OPP Postdoc Program (updated solicitation NSF 22-635)

NSF opportunities for networking
• Research Coordinated Networks (RCN), NSF 17-594
• Accelerating Research through International Network-to-Network Collaborations (AccelNet, NSF 21-511)

NSF Major Instrumentation and Infrastructure
• Major research Instrumentation Program (MRI), NSF 18-513,1M to 4M, see also here.  
• MidScale Infrastructure – 1 (MidScale RI-1), NSF 21-505, <20M
• MidScale Infrastructure – 2 (MidScale RI-2), NSF 21-537, 20M to 100M 

Science and Technology centers
• Science and Technology Centers: Integrative Partnerships, NSF- 22-521, 44M- 47M
• Cyberinfrastructure for Sustained Scientific Innovation (CSSI)
• Elements Awards: These awards target small groups that will create and deploy robust services for which there is a demonstrated need, and that will advance one or more significant areas of science and
Engineering. Contact Allen Pope (apope@nsf.gov), Polar Cyberinfrastructure Program Director.

International Funding
• Classic collaboration with international partners, the collaboration is included in an NSF proposal, the international partner writes a letter of collaboration. The international partner is funded by their own
funding agency.
• NSF has established bi-lateral funding agreements:
• NSF/GEO – UK NERC opportunity for collaborative proposals (DCL 16-132)
• NSF-DFG opportunity for Molecular and Cellular Biology (DCL 22-015)
• Office of International Science and Engineering (OISE), OISE’s focuses on three activities: (1) promoting the development of a globally competent U.S. workforce, (2) facilitating and supporting international partnerships and networks to leverage NSF and foreign resources, and (3) providing opportunities for U.S. leadership to shape the global science and engineering agenda.
Projects: MULTIPLIER, PIRE, IRES, AccelNet
• Partnerships for international Research and Education (PIRE), NSF 22-546, 1.5M for 3 years, contact Paul Raterron
• Horizon Europe, 2021-2027

NSF Partnerships
• A Landscape Study
• Computer and information Science and Engineering (CISE): support advanced cyberinfrastructure that enables and accelerates discovery and innovation across all science and engineering disciplines;
international Partnerships 
Deadline: 6 February 2023
• Graduate Research Fellowship Program (GRFP)
