Supports conferences, workshops and related activities, such as multi-institutional regional meetings, summer or winter schools, and international group travel to connect the mathematical sciences community.

Supports research on the physical, chemical and biological processes that influence the Earth’s climate over the long term and enables understanding of present climate variability and future trends.

Supports postdoctoral researchers in performing work that will broaden their perspectives, facilitate interdisciplinary interactions, and help establish them in leadership positions within the atmospheric and geospace sciences communities.

Supports fundamental research on the interactions between humans and the built environment within and among communities exposed to natural, technological and other types of hazards and disasters.

Supports research on the formation of planet Earth, including its accretion, early differentiation, and its petrologic and geochemical modification via igneous and metamorphic processes.

Supports research on surface Earth processes and environmental and evolutionary change. Focus areas include using the geologic record to study life; modern sedimentary processes and deep-time records; and dating and measuring geologic events and processes.

Supports research in modeling, optimization, learning, adaptation and control of networked multi-agent systems; higher-level decision making; and dynamic resource allocation and risk management.

Supports research and research coordination networks focusing on interactions between plants and their symbionts, pathogens and pests and the molecular, genomic, metabolic, cellular, network and organismal processes that mediate these interactions.

Supports research and training on the structure and function of organisms. Core areas supported include development, behavior, neuroscience, physiology, biomechanics and morphology, microbiology, virology and immunology, and plant and animal genomics.

Supports research and training on evolutionary and ecological processes acting at the level of populations, species, communities, ecosystems, macrosystems and biogeographic extents.

Supports the development of next-generation mathematical and statistical tools, and the theory underpinning those tools, to address computational or Big Data challenges.

Supports fundamental materials research and education in the following areas: biomaterials, ceramics, condensed matter physics, electronic and photonic materials, metals and metallic nanostructures, polymers, and solid state and materials chemistry.

Supports individual or small team research projects within the Division of Chemistry's disciplinary research programs.

Supports research experiences for undergraduates (REU) and postdoctoral fellowships that integrate atmospheric and geospace research and education.

Supports collaborative U.S.–U.K. research across several domains supported by the NSF Directorate for Engineering and the Engineering and Physical Science Research Council of United Kingdom Research and Innovation.

The Foundational Research in Robotics (FRR) program, jointly led by the CISE and ENG Directorates, supports research on robotic systems that exhibit significant levels of both computational capability and physical complexity. For the purposes of this program, a robot is...

Supports use-inspired research that addresses communities' social, economic and environmental challenges. Projects must work with community stakeholders on pilots that integrate intelligent technologies with the natural and built environments.

Supports the development of the research enterprise, particularly at emerging research and minority-serving institutions, to address the complexity of pursuing and managing externally supported activities.

Supports fundamental and transformative research that integrates engineering and life sciences to solve biomedical problems.

Supports fundamental engineering research on the rates and mechanisms of chemical reactions, systems engineering, and molecular thermodynamics as they relate to the design and optimization of chemical reactors and the production of specialized materials.

Supports fundamental engineering research leading to novel bioprocessing and therapeutic cells, biochemicals, biopharmaceuticals and for other biotechnology industries.

The NSF Engineering Directorate (ENG) has launched a multi-year initiative, the Professional Formation of Engineers, to create and support an innovative and inclusive engineering profession for the 21 st century. Professional Formation of Engineers (PFE) refers to the formal and...

Supports MPS-Ascending postdoctoral research fellows who transition into tenure track faculty positions in any scientific area supported by the following divisions: Astronomical Sciences, Chemistry, Materials Research, Mathematical Sciences, and Physics.

Supports planning proposals and major improvements to biological field stations or laboratories in any terrestrial, marine, estuarine or freshwater environment for research and education.

Supports research on the processes by which energy in diverse forms is generated by the sun, transported to the Earth, and ultimately deposited in the terrestrial environment.
