Frequently Asked Questions
What grants are available for earth science?
Earth science grants fund research on the solid Earth, atmosphere, oceans, and freshwater systems, along with instrumentation and education programs. NSF's Directorate for Geosciences supports core research through divisions like Earth Sciences (EAR), and offers instrumentation and facilities funding plus workforce-development supplements. NASA and NOAA also fund Earth-system and environmental research and education.
Who funds earth science research and education?
The U.S. National Science Foundation is the leading funder through its Directorate for Geosciences, frequently collaborating with NASA and NOAA on research and education programs. NSF emphasizes integrating education and broadening participation into most research proposals. Professional societies and private foundations also offer smaller grants and scholarships for geoscience students and educators.
Are there grants for geoscience education and workforce programs?
Yes. NSF funds geoscience education and workforce development — including research experiences for post-baccalaureate students and supplements for veterans — and supports collaborations like NASA's GLOBE program. These programs aim to broaden participation and build the future geoscience workforce. Many research grants also expect education or outreach components, so build those into your proposal where relevant.
