Geospace Environment Modeling (GEM) is a broad-based research program investigating the physics of the Earth's magnetosphere and the coupling of the magnetosphere to the atmosphere and to the solar wind. The goal of the GEM program is to make accurate predictions of the geospace environment by developing physical understanding of the large-scale organization and dynamics through observations, theory, and increasingly realistic models.
Full Proposal Target Date(s): Sep. 30, 2024; September 30, Annually Thereafter
Limit on Number of Proposals per PI or Co-PI: 2. Only two proposals per investigator, either as a PI, co-PI, or in a subaward, are allowed per calendar year in the GEM Program.
Normally, GEM awards are made for a duration of three years, but proposers may request from one to five years of funding provided the requested duration is adequately justified. Estimated program budget, number of awards and average award size/duration are subject to the availability of funds. The typical award size is approximately $150,000 per year with a duration of three years. The maximum award size is $200,000 per year. The estimated number of awards is 10 to 15 new awards in each year.
