Geography and Regional Science
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).
Apply to PD 98-1352 as follows:
For full proposals submitted via FastLane:
standard Grant Proposal Guidelines apply.
For full proposals submitted via Grants.gov:
NSF Grants.gov Application Guide; A Guide for the Preparation and Submission of NSF Applications via Grants.gov Guidelines apply
(Note: The NSF Grants.gov Application Guide is available on the Grants.gov website and on the NSF website at:

SYNOPSIS
The Geography and Regional Science (GRS) Program sponsors research on the geographic distributions and interactions of human, physical, and biotic systems on the Earth's surface. Investigations are encouraged into the nature, causes, and consequences of human activity and natural environmental processes across a range of scales. Projects on a variety of topics (both domestic and international) qualify for support if they offer promise of contributing to scholarship by enhancing geographical knowledge, concepts, theories, methods, and their application to societal problems and concerns. Support also is provided for projects that explicitly integrate undergraduate and graduate education into the overall research agenda.
Related Funding Opportunities
Related funding opportunities are available for geographers, regional scientists, and related scholars. For more information about these opportunities, visit the Cross Directorate Activities webpage. Here, you will find a brief synopsis about other programs, as well as links guiding you to the appropriate program solicitations.
Doctoral Dissertation Research Improvement (DDRI) Awards
Doctoral Dissertation Research Improvement Awards are made by the Geography & Regional Science program. Consult the SBE Doctoral Dissertation Research Improvement (DDRI) Grants announcement NSF 06-605 and the Geography & Regional Sciences DDRI specifics page.
Proposal Submission Guidelines
Regular proposals submitted to the Geography & Regional Science program should be fully compliant with specifications in the Grant Proposal Guide (GPG). DDRI proposals should be prepared in accordance with the terms of the GPG except for the modifications specified in the DDRI announcement NSF 06-605 and the GRS DDRI specifics page.
Proposal Review Process
Regular proposals are sent to six or more outside reviewers and are evaluated by at least two members of the GRS Advisory Panel (thirteen eminent geographers and regional scientists representing all major fields of the discipline). DDRI proposals are evaluated by three members of the DDRI Advisory Panel (twelve panelists). All reviews and panel recommendations are advisory to the Program Director. Proposals normally will have at least three written reviews, which are forwarded (in anonymous form) with panel summaries to the PI.
