The Continental Dynamics Program supports multidisciplinary research that focuses on an improved understanding of the processes governing the origin, structure, composition and dynamical evolution of the continents and continental building blocks. The program is particularly oriented toward projects whose scope and complexity require a cooperative or multi-institutional approach and multi-year planning and execution. It is intended that the program would fund only relatively large projects that do not fit easily within other EAR Programs and which have broad support of major sections of the earth science community.

Target Dates and Deadlines

Preliminary proposals for this program must be received no later than April 1st. Formal proposals must be received no later than November 15th.
