This grant, offered by the Division of Earth Sciences (EAR), is for supporting collaborative, interdisciplinary basic research focused on the Earth’s deep interior. Specifically, it aims to investigate the character and dynamics of the Earth’s mantle and core, their profound influence on the planet’s overall evolution, and the internal processes that manifest or impact the Earth’s surface. Projects proposed under this Cooperative Studies of the Earth’s Deep Interior (CSEDI) initiative can employ diverse methodologies, including field, laboratory, and computational studies, alongside observational, theoretical, or experimental approaches. Funding, provided through grants and cooperative agreements, is open to investigator-initiated proposals from U.S. universities and other eligible institutions, with interdisciplinary collaboration being a mandatory requirement.

| Description: | The Division of Earth Sciences (EAR) invites the submission of proposals for collaborative, interdisciplinary studies of the Earth’s interior within the framework of the community-based initiative known as Cooperative Studies of the Earth’s Deep Interior (CSEDI). Funding will support basic research on the character and dynamics of the Earth’s mantle and core, their influence on the evolution of the Earth as a whole, and on processes operating within the deep interior that affect or are expressed on the Earth’s surface. Projects may employ any combination of field, laboratory, and computational studies with observational, theoretical, or experimental approaches. Support is available for research and research infrastructure through grants and cooperative agreements awarded in response to investigator-initiated proposals from U.S. universities and other eligible institutions. Interdisciplinary projects are required. |
