https://www.nationalgeographic.org/sochety/grants-and-investments/RFP-Soings

In cooperation with Chamidt Institute Ocean (Soi), and National Geographical Society She issued a request for ocean exploration proposals and discovery.

In 2022, SOI and Society began a partnership to enhance and explore ocean sciences, with the aim of providing early career oceans from all over the world with the opportunity to lead influential projects that explore, understand and inform the ocean. The partnership also depends on the obligations of both founders to support driving development in ocean sciences, provide financing and access to modern research infrastructure.

According to this partnership, the organizations recruit and support their early life scientists who can benefit from one sidewalk area and the research infrastructure on board the “Falcore (“) from SOI during its 2026 season that passes the East Coast of South America. Falkor (also) provides an advanced space for the leading technology development and technology development projects in the ocean. The ship contains the ship. Laborators on the plane, robot capabilities and an underwater camera, a high -performance computing system, the ability to experiment and implement new tools to develop capabilities and ocean research. Access to training opportunities, capacity development and network building.

In compliance with the specific standards, selected projects must occur in the specified areas, Falkor will also pass in 2026 and be compatible and/or in line with at least one of the comprehensive mission projects prescribed for this year. Priority will be given to projects that are in line with the comprehensive campaign projects specified for this year in the following sub -fields: biological chemistry, exploring biological diversity in the middle of the water, physical ocean sciences, medium ecosystems, marine technology, and underwater seamouts.

Funding requests for this opportunity can reach $ 20,000. The length of the projects can reach one year and field work should happen in 2026.

Candidates should suggest a work that does not require additional team members on the plane alongside the existing Falkor staff (also) who can support logistical and technical needs with tools on the plane; One berth is expected to be available for this project. Candidates who prove that they will benefit from access to the scientific infrastructure on Falk (also) who cannot be accessed, and who have strong local networks that will increase the effects of the project.

This opportunity is the most appropriate for early scientists who have experience in maritime sciences and the ability to drive ship -based ocean sciences, deep marine research, and/or other exploratory research with limited directions. “Early professional professionalism” is defined as a person looking to better establish himself in their field, or those who are looking for guidance from others in their field and beyond. This funding opportunity is open to applicants over the age of 18.
