Opportunity Information: Apply for 22 547
The National Science Foundation (NSF), through its Division of Earth Sciences (EAR), is seeking investigator-initiated proposals under the Cooperative Studies of the Earth's Deep Interior (CSEDI) initiative. This opportunity supports collaborative and explicitly interdisciplinary research aimed at improving understanding of the Earth's deep interior, with a particular emphasis on the mantle and core. The central goal is basic research that explains the character, structure, and dynamics of these deep regions, how they have influenced Earths evolution over geologic time, and how deep interior processes connect to and are expressed at the surface (for example, through volcanism, tectonics, large-scale mantle convection patterns, or other surface-observable signals tied to deep Earth behavior).
CSEDI is designed to accommodate a wide range of scientific approaches, and proposals may combine field-based observations, laboratory experiments, and computational or numerical modeling. Projects can be observational, theoretical, experimental, or any mixture that is scientifically justified, as long as the work is framed as a cooperative, cross-disciplinary effort rather than a single-discipline study. The program emphasizes community-based, collaborative science, which typically means teams that integrate expertise across areas such as seismology, geodynamics, mineral physics, geochemistry, geomagnetism, petrology, or related fields that help address questions about mantle and core processes.
Funding can be used both for research activities and for research infrastructure, with support provided through NSF grants and, where appropriate, cooperative agreements. Awards are made competitively in response to proposals submitted by eligible US institutions, including universities and other qualifying organizations (the listing notes "Others," with eligibility details clarified in the official additional eligibility guidance). The opportunity is categorized as discretionary funding for science and technology research and development under CFDA 47.050. NSF anticipated making around 15 awards, and the posted award ceiling is listed as 0, which generally indicates that a fixed maximum was not specified in the summary record and that budgets are expected to be proposal-appropriate and justified based on scope.
The opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number 22-547) was created on December 24, 2021, with an original target deadline of September 26, 2022. The notice also states that any exemption to the target date requires pre-approval from a program officer, signaling that late submissions or deadline adjustments are not automatic and would need explicit authorization. Overall, the program is best suited for research teams proposing integrated, deep-Earth studies that connect mantle and core dynamics to Earth system evolution and measurable surface expressions, using rigorous combinations of data, experiments, and modeling within an interdisciplinary framework.Apply for 22 547
