Description:
NASA's Earth Science Enterprise (ESE) supports basic and applied
research in the following areas:
Students admitted or enrolled in a full-time M.Sc. and/or Ph.D.
program at accredited U.S. universities are eligible to apply.
Participants are competitively selected based on their submitted
research proposal and their academic credentials. The deadline for
application is March 15 of each year; the results are announced by
June 30, with an anticipated award date
of September 1 of the same year.
Awards are made initially for one year and may be renewed
annually, no more than two additional years for a total of three
years, based on satisfactory progress as reflected in academic
performance and evaluations by the faculty advisor. The amount of the
award is $22,000/annum, which may be used to defray student's
stipend, living and educational expenses, travel expenses to
scientific conferences, tuition, and fees.
Applications will be considered for research in atmospheric chemistry and physics, ocean biology and physics, ecosystem dynamics, hydrology, cryospheric processes, geology, geophysics, and information science and engineering, provided that the specific
research topic is relevant to NASA's Earth remote sensing science, process studies, modeling and analysis in support of the U.S. Global Change Research Program (USGCRP). NASA discourages submission of paleo-climate related applications to this program. Additional
information about the ESE scientific priorities and its centerpiece,
the Earth Observing System (EOS), can be found at
