Opportunity Summary:
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Chemical Oceanography Program (Funding Opportunity Number PD 98-1670) is a discretionary grant opportunity in the Science and Technology/Research and Development category under CFDA 47.050 (Geosciences). It is designed to fund research that explains how chemical components behave in the ocean, why they change, and how they move through and between major Earth systems. The core focus is on chemical processes within the marine environment and at key boundary zones where the ocean interacts with the solid Earth (such as sediments, seafloor, and coastal margins) and the atmosphere (air-sea exchange and atmospheric deposition). In practice, this means the program is interested in both the sources of chemicals entering marine waters and the sinks and pathways that remove, transform, or store those chemicals over time.
Scientifically, the program emphasizes studies of (1) material inputs to and outputs from marine waters, (2) the chemical and biological production and transformation of compounds and phases within the marine system, and (3) the measurement or determination of reaction rates and chemical equilibria relevant to ocean environments. Projects can address inorganic and organic substances, including nutrients, trace metals, carbon compounds, redox-sensitive species, contaminants, and naturally produced molecules, as long as the work advances understanding of their chemistry, distribution, and fate. The opportunity explicitly spans the full range of marine settings, from estuaries and coastal zones through the open ocean and down to the deep sea, reflecting an interest in linked processes across gradients in salinity, oxygen, pressure, temperature, and biological activity.
Eligibility is listed as unrestricted, meaning any type of applicant entity may apply, subject to any clarifications that might appear in the program text under additional eligibility information. The opportunity does not require cost sharing or matching. The announcement was originally posted on March 13, 2015, with an original closing date of August 15, 2015, and a later current closing date of February 15, 2016; the opportunity was archived on September 14, 2019. Applicants looking for the full program description were directed to the NSF program description page for PD 98-1670.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What is this funding opportunity?
This opportunity is the National Science Foundation (NSF) Chemical Oceanography Program, Funding Opportunity Number PD 98-1670. It is a discretionary grant opportunity in the Science and Technology/Research and Development category under CFDA 47.050 (Geosciences).
What is the main purpose of the NSF Chemical Oceanography Program?
The program funds research that explains how chemical components behave in the ocean, why they change, and how they move through and between major Earth systems. The focus is on chemical processes in the marine environment and in boundary zones where the ocean interacts with the solid Earth and the atmosphere.
What kinds of ocean boundary zones are included?
The opportunity specifically highlights boundary zones where the ocean interacts with the solid Earth (for example: sediments, the seafloor, and coastal margins) and with the atmosphere (for example: air-sea exchange and atmospheric deposition).
What does the program mean by sources, sinks, and pathways of chemicals?
In practical terms, the program is interested in research on (a) sources of chemicals entering marine waters, and (b) sinks and pathways that remove, transform, or store those chemicals over time.
What scientific themes does the program emphasize?
The program emphasizes studies of:
- Material inputs to and outputs from marine waters
- Chemical and biological production and transformation of compounds and phases within the marine system
- Measurement or determination of reaction rates and chemical equilibria relevant to ocean environments
What types of substances can a project focus on?
Projects may address both inorganic and organic substances, including (as examples listed in the opportunity): nutrients, trace metals, carbon compounds, redox-sensitive species, contaminants, and naturally produced molecules, as long as the work advances understanding of their chemistry, distribution, and fate.
What marine environments are eligible for study?
The opportunity spans the full range of marine settings, including estuaries, coastal zones, the open ocean, and the deep sea. It also reflects interest in linked processes across gradients such as salinity, oxygen, pressure, temperature, and biological activity.
Is this opportunity limited to a specific type of research approach?
The text describes scientific areas of interest (inputs/outputs, transformations, and reaction rates/equilibria) and the environments and substances that may be studied, but it does not list specific required methods or approaches beyond those thematic emphases.
Who is eligible to apply?
Eligibility is listed as unrestricted, meaning any type of applicant entity may apply, subject to any clarifications that might appear in the program text under additional eligibility information.
Is cost sharing or matching required?
No. The opportunity states that it does not require cost sharing or matching.
What is the CFDA number associated with this program?
