over a period of 4 years, beginning with $2M in FY 2024, contingent on the availability of funds. 

Estimated number of awards description –

Typical awards from this competition are expected to be $200,000 – $500,000 per year for 3 to 4 years in duration. The total award size over its duration shall not exceed $2,000,000. In FY24, NSF expects to fund 3 to 4 awards contingent on the availability of funds. NSF anticipates funding a mix of project sizes across Track 1 (Instrument Development) and Track 2 (Deployment and Operations). Further details on both tracks are described in the Program Description.

Synopsis

The NSF Directorate for Geosciences (GEO) EMpowering BRoader Academic Capacity and Education (EMBRACE) program seeks to support research and educational efforts at “non-R1” institutions, including non-R1 minority serving institutions (MSIs), two-year colleges (2YCs), primarily undergraduate institutions (PUIs), and emerging research and masters level institutions (see Carnegie Classification and Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System). With this solicitation, the EMBRACE program aims to mitigate multiple barriers faced by faculty members in geosciences and related fields at non-R1 institutions in submitting and obtaining federal funding (e.g., high teaching loads, increased expectations for teaching and mentoring, low or no start-up packages, and limited institutional infrastructure and research support personnel).

The EMBRACE program supports two categories of proposals: Seed and Growth.

Seed proposals can request up to two years of funding for faculty members in GEO-related disciplines at non-R1 institutions to (1) initiate research and/or education programs at

Synopsis

The United States is made up of regional systems comprising interdependent urban and rural systems and every community category between urban and rural. Urban systems and rural systems are interdependent for the provisioning of food, energy sources, water, other materials and natural resources, markets, manufactured goods, and medical resources. These systems are also connected by ecological processes that both influence and are influenced by human behavior. The vital interconnection of urban-rural systems underscores the critical need for the advancement of sustainable regional systems (SRS). The goal of this solicitation is to fund convergent research and education that will advance sustainable regional systems science, engineering, and education to facilitate the transformation of current regional systems to enhance sustainability. To further the advancement of SRS science, engineering, and education, NSF will support proposals for Sustainable Regional Systems Research Networks (SRS RNs).

Sustainable regional systems are

Award information

Anticipated Funding Amount is $1,250,000 per year approximately pending availability of funds.  Project budgets should be developed at scales appropriate for the work to be conducted.  The total direct costs for Arctic DDRIG awards may not exceed $40,000; indirect costs are in addition to this maximum direct cost limitation and are subject to the awardee’s current Federally negotiated indirect cost rate.

Proposals may only be submitted by certain types of PIs. Please see solicitation for details. Limit on number of proposals per PI or co-PI description –

There are no limitations on the number of DDRIGs that may be submitted by an organization on behalf of a single faculty member during a specific competition or over the course of her/his career. But an organization may submit only two proposals (an original submission and if necessary,
