Structure and Physics of the Solid Earth
At a glance
AI summaryThe program funds research on the structure and physics of the solid Earth, including earthquakes, tectonics, mantle and core processes, geodesy, seismology, geomagnetism, and related laboratory, field, theoretical, or computational studies. It supports single-investigator, multi-investigator, collaborative, and international proposals, and also considers community experiments, planning, workshops, and broader impacts activities. Eligible applicants are U.S. two- and four-year institutions of higher education and certain U.S.-based nonprofit, non-academic organizations; there are no limits on who may serve as PI or on the number of proposals per organization or PI. The estimated award count is 60 to 75, with about $22,000,000 anticipated funding, and the award types are Continuing Grant or Standard Grant. No cost-share requirement is stated; declined proposals may not be resubmitted for one year unless substantially revised, and any international branch campus funding must be justified as benefiting the project.

What it funds
Official description from grants.gov
The Structure and Physics of the Solid Earth Program (SPSE) aims to advance fundamental knowledge about the ongoing dynamical processes over the age of the Earth that evolve the structure of planet Earth and underpin geohazards. SPSE supports research at all temporal and spatial scales, from the Earth's core to its crust. Through laboratory, field, theoretical, and computational studies, the program encompasses a wide range of disciplines including structural geology, tectonics, and geophysics. Research in these areas can help improve our understanding of natural hazards including earthquakes and mass flows, as well as Earth’s formation and its magnetic field.
