About this opportunity

The Atmosphere Cluster (AC) in the Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences (AGS) supports fundamental studies of atmospheric processes from the Earth’s surface to the stratosphere, and from timescales of nanoseconds to millennia. Core areas of research include the dynamical processes in the atmosphere that impact quality, and the water cycle. Research methods include modeling, collecting observations, conducting experiments in the laboratory and field, and advancing analytical measurement techniques. General research topics that are supported by the AC include, and are not limited to: Chemical processes and mechanisms that explain how atmospheric gases and aerosols and interact with the surrounding environment. Processes and dynamics that govern climate and hydroclimate, including their mean to external forcing and their role in the establishment of a global energy and water balance; coupled atmosphere-ocean interactions, land-atmosphere interactions and interactions among clouds, atmospheric circulation and climate. Observational and modeling studies of past climate and its drivers and studies that develop and synthesize paleoclimate proxies and records. Physics and dynamics of atmospheric motions on all scales, from the planetary to the microscale, including the general circulation of the troposphere and stratosphere, planetary waves, synoptic and mesoscale waves, turbulence and planetary boundary layer dynamics. Physical meteorology including precipitation physics and atmospheric electricity. Synoptic and mesoscale meteorology including the processes, predictability and future changes in severe and hazardous weather. Proposals to the AC are welcome at any time. However, the following solicitation in support of specific atmospheric science and community efforts has a target date or deadline. Please refer to the solicitation documents for further details: The Facility and Instrumentation Request Process (FIRP) solicitation describes the requirements for the submission of proposals that will make use of AGS-supported facilities and instrumentation managed by the Facilities for Atmospheric Reseach and Education (FARE) program. AGS encourages and inspires scientific leaders by investing in the atmospheric and geospace sciences, enhancing educational opportunities and experiences and supporting faculty and researchers at all career stages. The Division expects that proposers will integrate education, outreach and dissemination activities into their research plans in compliance with NSF Broader Impacts Merit Review criteria.     AGS invites proposals that include plans for workforce development, educational and outreach activities, open science initiatives, and efforts to broaden participation and encourage diverse talent in the atmosphere and geospace sciences. Furthermore, AGS encourages proposals from all institutions, including Minority Serving Institutions, Emerging Research Institutions and institutions in Established Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (EPSCoR) jurisdictions. The Proposal & Award Policies & Procedures Guide (PAPPG) provides the instructions for submitting proposals to AGS. Additionally, Chapter II.F of the PAPPG defines “Other Types of Proposals,” including community-building proposals such as Conference, Travel or Planning Proposals and special categories of proposals, such as Rapid Response Research (RAPID) and EArly-concept Grants for Exploratory Research (EAGER). Proposals that are not compliant with the PAPPG will be returned without review. The following sections highlight specific NSF-, GEO- or AGS-wide solicitations that may be relevant to the AGS Community. Please be aware that solicitations are frequently updated, so make sure that you are looking at the most recent version. Career Development AGS Postdoctoral Research Fellowship (AGS-PRF): The AGS-PRF program supports researchers (also known as Fellows) for up to 24 months at the institution of their choice.
