 Geography
and Regional Science Program Awards Search
Award
size and duration are set at levels that provide sufficient
support to enable as many investigators as possible to accomplish
essential research activities on projects judged to be of
highest quality. For regular proposals, about 15-25% of requests
have been funded historically. The average award is about
$90,000 over 16 months, although awards range from $20,000
(6 months) to more than $300,000 (5 years). About 30-35% of
DDRI proposals are funded.
Awards
Presented: Basic information and abstracts for all awards
are available through NSF home page. Listings of awards from
the Geography and Regional Science Program are available.

Proposal and Submission Guidelines |
|
Guidelines
specific to this program |
|
|
Most proposals
evaluated by GRS are submitted to the regular program competition
and should follow the guidelines set out in the (GPG) Grant
Proposal Guide and Proposal Forms Kit. GRS also funds Doctoral
Dissertation Research Improvement (DDRI) Awards that are
directed to improving the quality of dissertation research by
providing funds for items not normally supported by the student's
university. Basic information about each of these programs appears
in the table below.
Proposal
Review Process
Regular proposals are sent to five or more outside reviewers
and are evaluated by at least two members of the GRS Advisory
Panel (twelve eminent geographers and regional scientists
representing all major fields of the discipline). DDRI proposals
are evaluated by three members of the DDRI Advisory Panel
(twelve panelists). All reviews and panel recommendations
are advisory to the Program Director. Proposals normally will
have at least three written reviews, which are forwarded (in
anonymous form) with panel summaries to the PI.

The
Geography and Regional Science (GRS) Program sponsors research
on the geographic distributions and interactions of human,
physical, and biotic systems on the Earth's surface. Investigations
are encouraged into the nature, causes, and consequences of
human activity and natural environmental processes across
a range of scales. Projects on a variety of topics (both domestic
and international) qualify for support if they offer promise
of contributing to scholarship by enhancing geographical knowledge,
concepts, theories, methods, and their application to societal
problems and concerns. Support also is provided for projects
that explicitly integrate undergraduate and graduate education
into the overall research agenda.
