Please be advised that the NSF Proposal & Award Policies & Procedures Guide (PAPPG) includes
revised guidelines to implement the mentoring provisions of the America COMPETES Act (ACA)
(Pub. L. No. 110-69, Aug. 9, 2007.) As specified in the ACA, each proposal that requests
funding to support postdoctoral researchers must include a description of the mentoring
activities that will be provided for such individuals. Proposals that do not comply
with this requirement will be returned without review (see the PAPP Guide Part I:
Grant Proposal Guide Chapter II for further information about the implementation of
this new requirement).

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.
