2013: New (Early Career) Investigator Program in Earth Science; August 30, 2013
Agency
NASA
Description
The
New (Early Career) Investigator Program (NIP) in Earth Science is designed to
support outstanding scientific research and career development of scientists and
engineers at the early stage of their professional careers. The program aims to
encourage innovative research initiatives and cultivate scientific leadership
in Earth system science. The Earth Science Division (ESD) places particular
emphasis on the investigators' ability to promote and increase the use of
space-based remote sensing through the proposed research.
The
NIP supports all aspects of scientific and technological research aimed to
advance NASAs mission in Earth system science (http://science.nasa.gov/about-us/science-strategy/). In
basic research and analysis, the Focus Areas include:
Carbon Cycle and Ecosystems,
Climate Variability and Change,
Water and Energy Cycle,
Atmospheric Composition,
Weather, and
Earth Surface and Interior.
In
applied scientific research, the ESD encourages efforts to discover and
demonstrate practical uses of NASA Earth science data, knowledge, and
technology (see http://appliedsciences.nasa.gov). In technological
research, the ESD aims to foster the creation and infusion of new technologies
into space missions in order to enable new scientific observations of the Earth
system or reduce the cost of current observations (see http://esto.nasa.gov). The
ESD also promotes innovative development in computing and information science
and engineering of direct relevance to ESD. See Appendix A.1 for more detailed
descriptions of the Focus Areas, themes in applied sciences, and related research
topics of high priority to the ESD.
