The U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) is inviting proposals for the Chemical Evolution of the Solid Earth and Volcanology (CESEV) research program. - Program focus: - Fundamental research on the origin and evolution of Earth's core, mantle, and continental crust - Topics include volcanology, magmatic processes, ore deposits, economic geology, and geochronology - Supports laboratory, field, experimental, theoretical, and computational studies - Aims to improve understanding of volcanic hazards and the distribution of mineral and natural resources - Eligibility: - U.S.-based non-profit, non-academic organizations (e.g., museums, observatories, research labs, professional societies) - Accredited institutions of higher education - Funding details: - Total available funding: $18,000,000 - Expected number of awards: 60 - No cost sharing or matching required - Proposals may be submitted at any time - No specific OEMs, vendors, or product/service procurements are identified, as this is a research grant opportunity, not a product or service solicitation.
Description
The Chemical Evolution of the Solid Earth and Volcanology (CESEV) program aims to advance fundamental knowledge about the origin and evolution of the Earth including its core, mantle, and continental crust. It supports a wide range of laboratory, field, experimental, theoretical, and computational studies on high-temperature igneous and metamorphic geochemical and petrologic processes. The program covers volcanology, magmatic processes, ore deposits, economic geology, and geochronology to improve understanding of volcanic hazards and natural resource distribution. Proposals may be submitted by non-profit, non-academic organizations and institutions of higher education in the U.S.
