CONTACTS
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
The purpose of the Collaboration in Mathematical Geosciences (CMG) activity is to enable
collaborative research at the intersection of mathematical sciences and geosciences, and
to encourage cross-disciplinary education. Projects should fall within one of three
broad themes: (1) mathematical and statistical modeling of complex geosystems, (2) understanding
and quantifying uncertainty in geosystems, or (3) analyzing large/complex geoscience data sets.
Research projects supported under this activity must be essentially collaborative in nature.
Research groups must include at least one mathematical/statistical scientist and at least
one geoscientist. Proposals that address problems with relevance to global change and
sustainability are especially encouraged.
