Pathways into the Earth, Ocean, Polar and Atmospheric & Geospace Sciences (GEOPAths)

NSF

Solicitation: 22-555

https://www.nsf.gov/pubs/2022/nsf22555/nsf22555.pdf

Posted Date: January 19, 2022

Proposal Deadline: Accepted any time

The Directorate for Geosciences (GEO) supports the Pathways into the Geosciences – Earth, Ocean, Polar and Atmospheric Sciences (GEOPAths) funding opportunity. GEOPAths invites proposals that specifically address the current needs and opportunities related to education, learning, training and professional development within the geosciences community through the formation of STEM Learning Ecosystems that engage students in the study of the Earth, its oceans, polar regions and atmosphere. The primary goal of the GEOPAths funding opportunity is to increase the number of students pursuing undergraduate and/or postgraduate degrees through the design and testing of novel approaches that engage students in authentic, career-relevant experiences in geoscience. In order to broaden participation in the geosciences, engaging students from historically excluded groups or from non-geoscience degree programs is a priority.
