<p class="MsoNormal">Dear Colleagues,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> This serves as a polite reminder for an upcoming <a href="https://new.nsf.gov/funding/opportunities/coupling-energetics-dynamics-atmospheric-regions">
Cedar solicitation</a> with a target date of May 3, 2024. This opportunity seeks proposals with a focus on the Earth’s upper atmospheric regions that cover a variety of topics, for example, coupling, energetics, chemistry, and dynamics on regional and global
scales. Submissions relevant to investigations about Earth’s aeronomy that include but are not limited to mesosphere, ionosphere, thermosphere, magnetosphere areas and their interactions are welcome. The program will fund research activities that utilize
ground-based, or satellite observations as well as theoretical and modelling efforts. The proposals need to follow guidelines as mentioned in the NSF proposal and Award Policies and Procedures Guide (<a href="https://new.nsf.gov/policies/pappg/23-1">PAPPG</a>).
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We will hold a virtual office hour (VOH) at 2 – 3 PM (EST) on next Friday, March 15<sup>th
</sup>2024<sup>. </sup>for researchers interested in this funding opportunity. We strongly encourage early career scientists or first time PIs to attend this VOH. A follow up email will be sent out later with a link to this meeting.<o:p></o:p></p>
