CEDAR email: NSF 25-533 FAIROS Solicitation Announcement

[Huang, Tai-Yin]

Dear Colleagues,

This is to alert you of a new funding opportunity for open science that just got published, NSF 25-533: Finable Accessible Interoperable Reusable Open Science (FAIROS), NSF 25-533: Findable Accessible Interoperable Reusable Open Science (FAIROS) | NSF - National Science Foundation<https://new.nsf.gov/funding/opportunities/fairos-findable-accessible-interoperable-reusable-open-science/nsf25-533/solicitation>.  The FAIROS Program is undertaken in support of the US NSF Public Access Initiative.
Full proposal deadline is April 9, 2025.  FAIROS proposals must select one of two tracks to focus on, either: 1) Disciplinary Improvements to targeted scientific communities, or 2) Cross-Cutting Improvements that apply to many or most scientific disciplines.

For the research communities served by the Directorate for Geosciences (GEO): Proposals are encouraged toward establishing foundational principles for Research Data Management (RDM) in support of scientific domains associated with GEO programs (https://www.nsf.gov/funding/programs.jsp?org=GEO). This includes efforts that translate open science principles (e.g., FAIR, CARE, TRUST) into practical guidelines and/or standards for RDM within geoscience research workflows. GEO particularly welcomes proposals that support RDM across the full data lifecycle, including advancement of approaches that leverage persistent identifiers (PIDs) to expose connections among publications, data, and other research products to assess impact and broaden credit for research contributions. Proposers primarily pursuing community-building, education/training, or culture change activities to instill open science practices within specific geoscience domains may wish to instead consider submissions to the Geosciences Open Science Ecosystem (GEO OSE) program (NSF 25-506).

There will be an informational webinar in the coming months.  Announcement of the webinar will be sent out in a separate email in the near future.  Prospective PIs are encouraged to email FAIROSQueries at nsf.gov<mailto:FAIROSQueries at nsf.gov> for general inquiries about the program. They are welcome to reach out to GEO POCs, Dr. Tai-Yin Huang (thuang at nsf.gov<mailto:thuang at nsf.gov>) and Dr. Raleigh Martin (ramartin at nsf.gov<mailto:ramartin at nsf.gov>) for more information.

Best,

Tai-Yin Huang and Raleigh Martin
