Dear Colleague Letter: Seafloor Geodesy
Notice Number: NSF 24-016
Summary: NSF recently funded the construction of 48 seafloor geodetic transponders, their benchmarks, and 3 wave gliders. A community workshop and report https://www.seafloorgeodesy.org/post/future-directions-in-seafloorgeodesy-2021-community-workshop highlighted several recommendations for the application of seafloor geodetic techniques to constraining offshore geodetic measurements in different environments. A follow-on community workshop https://www.seafloorgeodesy.org/post/workshop-on-the-alaska-and-cascadia-seafloor-geodetic-communityexperiment discussed the design of a community experiment to deploy a subset of this instrument pool in the Cascadia and Alaskan subduction zones. The subduction community experiment will only use a subset of the instruments available which leaves enough instruments to address other science needs. Considering this, NSF invites proposals for field campaigns to deploy seafloor transponders from the existing instrument pool for 4 sites at tectonic settings consistent with priorities identified in the 2021 Community Workshop report. The geodetic instruments have a depth limit of 3000 m. A multi-year deployment is envisioned with requisite wave glider surveys. Of particular interest are proposals that target volcanic processes, transform processes, plate motions, or polar regions.

Dear Colleague Letter: Using Long-Term Research Associated Data (ULTRA-Data)
Notice Number: NSF 24-081
Summary: With this Dear Colleague Letter, NSF seeks to stimulate and encourage the use and reuse of data from environmental time series research to improve generalizable understanding in fields including (but not limited to) ecology, organism evolution/adaptation, geoscience, and oceanography. The collection and comparison of long-term environmental measurements are critical to generate an integrated understanding of how ecosystem components interact, test ecological and evolutionary theories, and support the development and testing of ecological models.

Data collected by long-term projects are often multidisciplinary (including biology, chemistry, geology, and other fields of study) and may cover broad spatial scales in addition to an extended temporal aspect. These data are valuable because they can be used to explore regional, continental, and global scale questions regarding environmental and ecological processes. While all resulting data are publicly accessible, differences in how they are recorded, reported, and accessed, mean significant time and training may need to be invested to harmonize the data for use.

Innovation and Early Learning Programs: Education Innovation and Research Program Expansion Grants ALN 84.411A
Funding Opportunity Number: ED-GRANTS-050624-001
Notice of Intent to Apply: June 06, 2024
Full Application Deadline: July 05, 2024
Summary: The EIR program provides funding to create, develop, implement, replicate, or take to scale entrepreneurial, evidence-based, field-initiated innovations to improve student achievement and attainment for high-need students and to rigorously evaluate such innovations. The EIR program is designed to generate and validate solutions to persistent education challenges and to support the expansion of those solutions to serve substantially higher numbers of students. Expansion grants are supported by strong evidence for at least one population and setting, and grantees are encouraged to implement at the national level). The central design element of the EIR program is its multi-tier structure that links the amount of funding an applicant may receive to the quality of the evidence supporting the efficacy of the proposed project. One of the program’s goals is for projects to build evidence that will allow them to advance through EIR’s grant tiers: ‘‘Early-phase,’’ ‘‘Mid-phase,’’ and ‘‘Expansion.’’ Expansion grants provide funding for the implementation and rigorous evaluation of a program that has been found to produce sizable, significant impacts under a Mid-phase grant or other effort meeting similar criteria, for the purposes of (a) determining whether such impacts can be successfully reproduced and sustained over time, and (b) identifying the conditions in which the program is most effective.

Funding Opportunity Number: ED-GRANTS-050624-003
Notice of Intent to Apply: June 06, 2024

Summary: Early-phase grants must demonstrate a rationale. Early-phase grants provide funding for the development, implementation, and feasibility testing of a program that prior research suggests has promise, for the purpose of determining whether the program can successfully improve student achievement and attainment for high-need students. Early-phase grants are not intended to simply expand established practices or address needs unique to one particular context. Rather, the goal is to determine whether and in what ways relatively new practices can improve student achievement and attainment for high-need students.
