Opportunity Summary:
The Ocean Sciences Postdoctoral Research Fellowships (NSF OCE PRF; Funding Opportunity Number 11-586) is a discretionary National Science Foundation grant program run by NSF's Division of Ocean Sciences. Its central purpose is to broaden participation and strengthen diversity within the U.S. ocean sciences research community by supporting postdoctoral researchers from groups that have been historically under represented in the field. For this solicitation, NSF explicitly defines under represented groups to include women, persons with disabilities, African Americans, Hispanics, Native Americans, Alaska Natives, and Pacific Islanders. The fellowship is designed to support the fellow's own research and professional development as an independent scientist, while also contributing to a more inclusive ocean sciences workforce.
A key feature of this opportunity is that the fellowship is an award to an individual rather than to a university or other institution. Proposals must be submitted directly by the fellowship candidate to NSF, and the fellow administers the award. Even though the award is made to the individual, each applicant must identify one or more sponsoring scientist(s) and a host organization where the proposed work will be carried out. The host site can be located in the United States or abroad and may include a wide range of settings such as colleges and universities, private nonprofit research institutes, museums, and government agencies. This structure is meant to give fellows flexibility in choosing the environment and mentorship that best supports their research goals and career trajectory.
Eligibility is strictly defined and evaluated as of the full proposal target date (January 13, 2012). Applicants must be U.S. citizens, U.S. nationals, or permanent residents. They must have earned their doctoral degree within the last 36 months or expect to complete the doctoral degree before the required fellowship start date. In addition, applicants may have no more than 24 months of full-time equivalent postdoctoral research experience. NSF notes that proposals that do not meet these eligibility requirements will be returned without review, meaning they will not enter the competitive evaluation process.
From a funding and competition standpoint, NSF anticipated making about 10 awards under this solicitation, with an estimated total program funding level of $850,000. The listed award floor is $85,000, indicating the minimum expected award size. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants are not expected to secure institutional matching funds as part of the proposal. The funding activity category is Science and Technology and other Research and Development, and the CFDA listing is 47.050 (Geosciences), reflecting the program's placement within NSF's broader geosciences portfolio.
The solicitation was posted on September 9, 2011, with a full proposal target date and closing date of January 13, 2012. Additional details are referenced in NSF Publication 11-586. For access or technical issues related to the announcement on Grants.gov, the listing directs applicants to NSF's Grants.gov support at grantsgovsupport@nsf.gov.
