This grant, offered by the Petrology and Geochemistry Program, is for supporting fundamental research into the formation of planet Earth, including its accretion, early differentiation, and subsequent petrologic and geochemical modification through igneous and metamorphic processes. It encourages proposals focused on the petrology and high-temperature geochemistry of igneous and metamorphic rocks, encompassing mantle samples, mineral physics, economic geology, and volcanology. Additionally, this grant welcomes innovative proposals for the development of advanced analytical tools, theoretical and computational models, and experimental techniques. These advancements should primarily serve the igneous and metamorphic petrology, high-temperature geochemistry, and geochronology research communities, fostering a deeper understanding of Earth’s dynamic history.

| 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. -Other Federal Agencies and Federally Funded Research and Development Centers (FFRDCs): Prospective proposers from other Federal Agencies and FFRDCs, including NSF sponsored FFRDCs, must follow the guidance in PAPPG Chapter I.E.2 regarding limitations on eligibility. -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 Petrology and Geochemistry Program supports basic research on the formation of planet Earth, including its accretion, early differentiation,and subsequent petrologic and geochemical modification via igneous and metamorphic processes. Proposals in this program generally address the petrology and high-temperature geochemistry of igneous and metamorphic rocks (including mantle samples), mineral physics, economic geology, and volcanology. Proposals that are focused on the development of analytical tools, theoretical and computational models, and experimental techniques for applications by the igneous and metamorphic petrology, and high temperature geochemistry and geochronology communities are also invited. |
