 Save the Date: Virtual Office Hour to Discuss New GEO-EMBRACE Funding Opportunity
GEO-EMBRACE Targets Research and Education Efforts at Non-R1 Institutions
WHAT: Drop-in Virtual Office Hour (VOH) to meet GEO Program Directors in an informal setting to ask questions and share your thoughts about listed opportunities.
WHEN: Thursday, October 5th, 2-3 pm EST
WHERE: Virtual via Zoom Link
The new GEO EMpowering BRoader Academic Capacity and Education (GEO-EMBRACE) program supports research and educational efforts at non-R1 institutions and aims to mitigate barriers faced by faculty members in geosciences and related fields at non-R1 institutions in submitting and obtaining federal funding.
Join the office hour for an interactive conversation with the EMBRACE program directors. A short introduction of EMBRACE will be followed by an informal question-and-answer session.
We invite faculty members at emerging (non-R1) academic institutions (e.g., Community Colleges, Tribal Colleges and Universities, MSIs, HBCUs, Undergraduate, Masters, and R2 Institutions) to join this conversation and learn more about this new opportunity.
More details on the submission process can be found in the NSF GEO-EMBRACE solicitation (NSF 23-617). The upcoming target dates for EMBRACE submissions are November 20, 2023, and May 15, 2024.
Interested PIs may email GEO-EMBRACE@nsf.gov or visit our website for more information. Please attend our Drop-in Virtual Office Hour (registration link below) to learn more by engaging directly with GEO Program Directors.
In the instance of the federal government shutdown, please check the EMBRACE website for Virtual Office Hours information.
Background on GEO-EMBRACE
The Directorate for Geosciences (GEO) recognizes that individuals and institutions historically underserved by NSF currently face barriers to obtaining federal funding. To lower barriers, broaden participation, and promote access to funding support, GEO has announced the GEO-Empowering Broader Academic Capacity and Education (GEO-EMBRACE) program. This program seeks to support research and educational efforts at non-R1 institutions and by researchers who have traditionally faced obstacles to procuring federal funding.
GEO seeks to expand access and participation of principal investigators (PIs) who are from historically excluded groups in GEO disciplines, e.g., persons with disabilities, Black, Latino, Indigenous, LGBTQIA+, and other individuals from marginalized and minoritized groups and/or tribal colleges and universities, historically black colleges and universities, other minority-serving institutions, two-year colleges, primary undergraduate institutions, and emerging research and masters level institutions.
GEO-EMBRACE supports projects that increase research capabilities, capacity, and infrastructure. Existing pertinent NSF and GEO opportunities can be found here.
