Opportunity Information: Apply for 19 558
The National Science Foundation (NSF), through the Geospace Section in its Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences, offered the "Faculty Development in the Space Sciences" grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number 19-558) to help strengthen the long-term health of solar and space sciences in U.S. university settings. The core purpose of the program is to create brand-new tenure-track faculty positions focused on space science related disciplines, with the expectation that these hires will expand teaching and research capacity in solar and space physics and help grow the pipeline of future scientists and leaders in the field. Rather than simply funding a research project, the program is designed to build lasting institutional capability by adding faculty expertise directly into university departments and curricula.
A central theme of the opportunity is integration: NSF is aiming to embed solar and space physics research topics into a wide range of existing academic programs where space science naturally intersects. Examples specifically highlighted include physics, astronomy, electrical engineering, geoscience, meteorology, computer science, and applied mathematics. In practical terms, the intent is that a new faculty member supported by this award would not operate in isolation, but would connect space science concepts to foundational training and research in these areas, helping departments broaden their course offerings, research directions, and student opportunities.
Because space science is inherently interdisciplinary, the program places real emphasis on collaboration and partnership-building across the university community. Awardees are expected to establish meaningful partnerships within their institutions, which could include cross-departmental collaborations, joint research and training activities, and coordinated efforts to develop or strengthen space physics related graduate training. A major goal is to support the development of space physics graduate programs that are capable of training the next generation, meaning the program is oriented toward sustained workforce and academic community development, not short-term outcomes.
From a funding standpoint, the structure is tailored to make a new tenure-track hire feasible and stable during the critical early years. NSF funding is intended to cover the full academic-year salary and benefits of the newly recruited tenure-track faculty member for up to five years, with a total award amount capped at $1,500,000. The opportunity anticipated making about four awards. The instrument type is a grant, and the activity category is science and technology and other research and development under CFDA number 47.050. The opportunity was created on February 15, 2019, with an original closing date of May 24, 2019, and eligibility is listed broadly as "Others" with additional details provided in the full eligibility text in the original announcement.
Overall, this program is best understood as an NSF investment in long-term academic infrastructure for the space sciences: it supports universities in creating new tenure-track lines, expects interdisciplinary integration across STEM and computational fields, and prioritizes building institutional partnerships and graduate training capacity so that solar and space physics remains vibrant within university teaching and research for years to come.Apply for 19 558
