Learn more about the new RISE division at NSF. Watch the recorded presentation from the UCAR Annual Members Meeting Early Career Workshop.
RISE (Division of Research, Innovation, Synergies, and Education) supports novel, complex, or partnership projects in both research and education. These investments cut across traditional boundaries within the geosciences, encouraging interdisciplinary activities and responding directly to critical needs of the entire geoscience community. RISE's principal goals are to develop innovative means to initiate and support geoscience education, attract underrepresented groups to careers in the geosciences, foster the interchange of scientific information nationally and internationally, and join with other parts of NSF in major integrative research and education efforts.
The division makes strategic investments in multidisciplinary research areas, international activities, education, diversity, and human resource development. The results of RISE investments will assist in ensuring that the United States has a well-educated and diverse workforce in the geosciences and in related technical fields such as resource exploration. In general, about 68 percent of the division portfolio is available to support new research grants. The remaining 32 percent supports awards made in prior years.
