DIRECTORATE FOR
GEOSCIENCES (GEO)

EARTH SCIENCES (EAR)

Supports multidisciplinary research that will result in a better understanding of the processes that govern the origin, structure, composition, and dynamical evolution of the continents and continental building blocks. This program is especially geared toward projects whose scope and complexity require a cooperative or multi-institutional approach and multiyear planning and execution. It is intended that the program fund only relatively large projects that do not fit easily within Earth Sciences Project Support, and that offer broad support for major sections of the earth sciences community. The program also funds research as part of the interagency and International Continental Scientific Drilling and Exploration Program.

Target Dates:
Preliminary Proposals - April 1 (annually)
Formal Proposals - December 1 (annually)
