We are pleased to announce the 2017 (FY18) call for proposals!
The John Wesley Powell Center for Earth System Science Analysis and
Synthesis
<http://usgs.us13.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=d9a57b148f477c9ac54fb1b7b&id=c65b3b9f1d&e=4cfc9c8e91> fosters
innovative thinking in Earth system science through collaborative
synthesis activities. This mission is driven by the growing recognition
that synthesis is critical to solving complex problems facing Society.
To date, the Center has successfully hosted 41 working groups that have
produced more than 100 publications, many in top-ranked journals. We
invite interdisciplinary Working Groups comprised of USGS researchers
and their national and international colleagues in academia and
government to submit proposals.
Working Groups collaborate to promote understanding through analysis of
existing data and information. Groups that submit successful proposals
will receive computing and data management support, funding for a
Fellow, opportunities for meetings in Fort Collins, Colorado, and
between-meeting collaborative tools.
Proposals are invited for projects that will begin on or after October
1, 2017. Some proposals may be jointly funded by USGS and the National
Science Foundation (NSF).
