Why did the Division of Earth Sciences (EAR) realign its science funding programs?
EAR realigned its science funding programs to better serve the research community. The nature of EAR-supported science is changing, with more projects that span multiple domains of Earth Science research. By having programs with broader scopes, EAR is making it simpler to find a home for a given research project. The realignment of programs is designed to more readily support disciplinary, multidisciplinary, and interdisciplinary science. The new programmatic structure also will provide greater flexibility for EAR to support projects encompassing a wider range of award sizes and scopes.
What happened to my program?
While the EAR programs have changed names and structure, the disciplines that the division supports have not changed.
I currently have a proposal under review in an EAR program, but now that program has been archived. What happens
