Funding

Deadline passed. Most recent deadline: February 1, 2024. We are delighted to announce the CRESCENT Seed Grant Program and request proposals for funding. Any researchers in the US that are part of an institution or organization that is eligible for regular National Science Foundation funding are invited to apply. The CRESCENT Seed Grant Program has the dual goals of broadening community participation and increasing the breadth of scientific investigations related to the center’s scientific goals. Achieving these goals relies, in part, on inviting the community to participate in addressing top priorities and key challenges identified through three major pillars: i) science, ii) geoscience education and inclusion, and iii) partnerships and applications. Proposals that respond to one or more of the priorities in each of these pillars as outlined in the Request for Proposals will be considered for funding. Please visit our website to review the request for proposals and to apply.
