Opportunity Information: Apply for 22 515
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Tectonics Program (Funding Opportunity Number 22-515) is a discretionary grant opportunity that funds research in science and technology focused on how the continental lithosphere deforms. In practical terms, the program is aimed at improving understanding of the processes that shape continents above the lithosphere-asthenosphere boundary, including how stresses are generated, transmitted, and expressed as faulting, folding, mountain building, and other tectonic deformation. The opportunity is intentionally broad and welcomes multiple approaches, including field-based studies, laboratory experiments, computational modeling, and theoretical work, as long as the central goal is to explain deformation of the terrestrial continental lithosphere and the tectonic drivers behind it.
The scientific scope spans a wide range of depths within the continental lithosphere and covers both short and long geologic time horizons. On the shorter end, the program includes work relevant to active tectonics operating on decadal to centennial timescales, which can include studies of ongoing deformation and contemporary strain accumulation. On the longer end, it supports investigations that interpret tectonic processes over much longer periods of Earth history. Spatially, the program supports research from micro-scale deformation mechanisms (such as grain-scale processes and rock rheology) all the way up to large-scale tectonic systems, including plate boundaries and orogenic belts. This means proposals can focus on anything from the mechanics of fault zones and crustal flow to the evolution of mountain ranges and the large-scale forces that drive continental deformation.
Awards are made as grants, with an expected maximum award size (award ceiling) of $500,000. NSF anticipates making roughly 50 awards under this opportunity, and proposals are accepted at any time rather than being tied to a single annual deadline. The listing identifies eligibility as "Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification)," indicating that applicant eligibility can be broader than a single standard category but should be verified in the official eligibility details associated with the program. The program is administered by NSF under CFDA number 47.050, and the opportunity was created on October 20, 2021.Apply for 22 515
