NSF 26-516 folds Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences, Earth Sciences and Ocean Sciences into a single GEO Core solicitation: $110 million, 200 to 350 awards, proposals accepted anytime. Geosciences piloted no-deadline review nine years ago and knows what it does to submission volume. Here is the per-award math, the ship-time and permitting traps, and the two-year data-archive clock that now governs every award.
Read articleNSF 26-526 posted August 25 with October 19-23 deadlines instead of November, ten eligible fields instead of eleven, and a newly ineligible category covering wildlife management and conservation practice. NSF just offered 2,500 fellowships for 2026. The new solicitation estimates 1,500.
