Geoscience Opportunities for Leadership in Diversity (GOLD-EN)
Full Proposal Target Date: October 28, 2022 Program Guidelines: PD 21-178YThe World is facing “all minds needed” problems, but due to historical systemic structures, all minds have not been fully engaged. Recent research shows that science scholars who are underrepresented in STEM produce higher rates of scientific novelty, yet they do not persist in the systems where the innovation is created (Hofstra et al. 2020). Because the geosciences continue to lag other STEM fields in creating a diverse community of researchers, scholars, and practitioners, ...More at https://beta.nsf.gov/programid/505906This is an NSF ...

Paleo Perspectives on Present and Projected Climate (P4CLIMATE)
Full Proposal Target Date: October 20, 2022 Program Guidelines: NSF 22-612Much can be learned about the climate system using existing historical observations and models of current climate, but those records and models do not reflect the range of climate behavior on multi-decadal to millennial time scales, or capture tipping points, thresholds, and other key features of the climate system. For that, data from geological records or other environmental archives are required.
