(FOA)-Frontier
Research in Earth Sciences (FRES); February 5, 2020
Agency
National
Science Foundation
Description
The
FRES program will support research in Earth systems from the core through the
critical zone. The project may focus on all or part of the surface, continental
lithospheric, and deeper Earth systems over the entire range of temporal and
spatial scales. FRES projects should have a larger scientific scope and budget
than those considered for funding by disciplinary programs in the Division of
Earth Sciences (EAR). FRES projects may be interdisciplinary studies that do
not fit well within EAR's disciplinary programs or cannot be routinely managed
by sharing between disciplinary programs .
Innovative proposals within a single disciplinary area with outcomes of
potential broad relevance to Earth Science research are also encouraged.
Investigations may employ any combination of field, laboratory, and
computational studies with observational, theoretical, or experimental
approaches. Projects should be focused on topics that meet the guidelines for
research funded by the Division of Earth Sciences.
