Prenatal exposure to certain environmental chemicals may pose significant risks to liver health for both mothers and their newborns. But the researchers also found that treating women with folic acid and other B vitamins during pregnancy may counter some adverse effects of prenatal exposures on the livers of children.

December 11, 2024

Dear Colleagues:

SCOPE

The Directorate for Geosciences (GEO) of the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) and the State of São Paulo Research Foundation (FAPESP) are pleased to announce an NSF/GEO-FAPESP Lead Agency Opportunity. The goal of this opportunity is to stimulate research excellence and reduce barriers to working internationally. Through a Lead Agency model, GEO and FAPESP will address these issues by allowing U.S. and State of São Paulo researchers to submit a single collaborative proposal that will undergo a single review process.

The U.S. NSF and FAPESP/Brazil signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) on March 27, 2023. The MOU provides an overarching framework to encourage collaboration between U.S. and State of São Paulo research communities and sets out the principles by which jointly supported activities might be

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I currently have a proposal under review in an EAR program, but now that program has been archived.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
