National Science Foundation
The National Science Foundation is offering a grant opportunity titled "Solar, Heliospheric, and INterplanetary Environment". This grant aims to support research on the processes by which energy in the form of magnetic fields and particles are produced by the Sun and/or accelerated in interplanetary space, as well as the mechanisms by which these fields and particles are transported to Earth through the inner heliosphere. The grant seeks proposals for research directly related to topics discussed at community workshops organized by the Solar, Heliospheric, and Interplanetary Environment (SHINE) program. The grant has an estimated total program funding of $3,000,000, with an award ceiling of $200,000 and an award floor of $120,000. It is expected that 15 awards will be granted. The grant does not require cost sharing or matching. The opportunity is open to unrestricted applicants. The closing date for applications is October 7, 2024.

Magnetospheric Physics
Active
National Science Foundation
The National Science Foundation is offering a grant for research on magnetospheric physics. This grant supports research on the magnetized plasma envelope of the outer atmosphere, including topics such as energization by the solar wind, the origin of geomagnetic storms and substorms, and the coupling among the magnetosphere, ionosphere, and atmosphere. The grant also supports ground-based observational programs and laboratory experiments applicable to the geospace environment. Theoretical research programs may include numerical simulations using various codes. The analysis of data from all sources, whether ground-based or from spacecraft, is also supported.

Faculty Development in geoSpace Science
Active
National Science Foundation
The National Science Foundation (NSF) is offering a grant opportunity titled "Faculty Development in geoSpace Science". This grant aims to create new tenure-track faculty positions within the disciplines of geospace science at U.S. universities and colleges. The goal is to integrate topics in geospace science, including solar and space physics and space weather research, into natural sciences or engineering departments. The grant also encourages the development of undergraduate or graduate programs capable of training future leaders in geospace science. NSF funding will support the salary, benefits, and training of the newly recruited faculty member for up to five years, with a maximum award amount of $1,500,000. The grant prioritizes increasing diversity in the geospace science workforce and institutions, particularly at minority-serving institutions (MSIs) and emerging research institutions (ERIs). There are two tracks for proposal submissions: one for all qualified U.S. institutions of higher education (IHEs) and another specifically for MSIs and ERIs.
