PROGRAM GUIDELINES
A revised version of the NSF Proposal & Award Policies &
Procedures Guide (PAPPG), NSF 09-1, was issued on October 1, 2008
and is effective for proposals submitted on or after January 5, 2009. Please be
advised that the guidelines contained in NSF 09-1 apply to proposals submitted
in response to this funding opportunity. Proposers who opt to submit
prior to January 5th, 2009, must also follow the guidelines
contained in NSF 09-1.
One of the most significant changes to the PAPPG is
implementation of the mentoring provisions of the America COMPETES Act.
Each proposal that requests funding to support postdoctoral researchers must
include, as a separate section within the 15-page project description, a
description of the mentoring activities that will be provided for such
individuals. Proposals that do not include a separate section on
mentoring activities within the Project Description will be returned without
review (see the PAPP Guide Part I: Grant Proposal Guide Chapter
II.C.2.d for further information).

SYNOPSIS
Sedimentary Geology and Paleobiology supports studies of: (1) the changing aspects of life, ecology, environments, and biogeography in past geologic time based on fossil plants, animals, and microbes; (2) all aspects of the Earth’s sedimentary carapace — insights into geological processes recorded in its historical records and rich organic and inorganic resources locked in rock sequences; (3) the science of dating and measuring the time sequence of events and rates of geological processes of the Earth’s past sedimentary and biological record; (4) the geologic record of the production, transportation, and deposition of physical and chemical sediments; and (5) understanding the complexities of Earth's deep time climate systems. The Sedimentary Geology and Paleobiology Program especially encourages integrative studies at the national and international levels that seek to link subdisciplines, such as paleoclimatology, paleogeography, and paleoenvironmental and paleoecologic reconstructions.
