This department, the NSF, is offering the Geomorphology and Land-use Dynamics (GLD) grant to support innovative fundamental research into processes that shape and modify Earth’s landscapes across various scales, focusing on the Holocene. This grant is for quantitative investigation of the coupling and feedback among these processes, their rates, and roles, considering biologic, climatic, tectonic, and human impacts. Research can involve fieldwork, modeling, experimentation, or theoretical development. The GLD program particularly encourages increasing participation of underrepresented groups in STEM, including women, persons with disabilities, underrepresented minorities, and individuals from geographically underrepresented areas. Proposers are strongly encouraged to involve personnel from these groups and U.S. Armed Forces veterans.

Eligibility
| Eligible Applicants: | Others (see text field entitled “Additional Information on Eligibility” for clarification) |
| Additional Information on Eligibility: | *Who May Submit Proposals: Proposals may only be submitted by the following: -Non-profit, non-academic organizations: Independent museums, observatories, research laboratories, professional societies and similar organizations located in the U.S. that are directly associated with educational or research activities. -Institutions of Higher Education (IHEs): Two- and four-year IHEs (including community colleges) accredited in, and having a campus located in the US, acting on behalf of their faculty members. Special Instructions for International Branch Campuses of US IHEs: If the proposal includes funding to be provided to an international branch campus of a US institution of higher education (including through use of sub-awards and consultant arrangements), the proposer must explain the benefit(s) to the project of performance at the international branch campus, and justify why the project activities cannot be performed at the US campus. |

| Description: | The GLD Program supports innovative fundamental research into processes that shape and modify earth’s landscapes over a variety of length and time scales, with a focus on the Holocene. The program encourages research that quantitatively investigates the coupling and feedback among such processes, their rates, and their relative roles, especially in the contexts of variation in biologic, climatic, and tectonic influences and in light of changes due to human impacts. Such research may involve fieldwork, modeling, experimentation, theoretical development, or combinations thereof. GLD is particularly interested in increasing the participation of underrepresented groups in research and education such as women, persons with disabilities, and underrepresented minorities [1], and those from geographically underrepresented areas in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). Proposals submitted in response to this solicitation are strongly encouraged to involve PIs, co-PIs, postdoctoral researchers, students, and other personnel who are members of these groups. Proposers are also strongly encouraged to consider involving veterans of the U.S. Armed Forces as part of NSFs broader effort to promote veteran involvement in STEM research and education. |
