Opportunity snapshot. This Grants.gov announcement — Coupling, Energetics, and Dynamics of Atmospheric Regions — is cataloged under number 25-510 and tied to CFDA assistance listing 47.050, posted by U.S. National Science Foundation. Grants.gov currently shows the opportunity as open, first posted on November 14, 2024 and last updated on March 20, 2026. The funding category is Discretionary, delivered as a grant.
Award economics. The award range on file is $100,000 -- $750,000. The agency has projected $3.0 million in total estimated funding for this announcement. It expects to issue 15 awards. If the agency funds the expected 15 awards from the $3.0 million estimated pool, the average award works out to roughly $200,000. Cost sharing is not required, so applicants do not need to commit matching funds to be competitive on this opportunity. Federal award ranges are often upper bounds; actual allocations reflect program appropriations, the strength of the applicant pool, and the evaluation committee's scoring.
Deadline and action path. Applications close on March 3, 2027 — roughly 271 days from today. Every Grants.gov submission requires an active SAM.gov registration and a Unique Entity ID. Review the Eligibility section below carefully — federal eligibility categories (nonprofit, state or local government, tribal, individual, educational institution, small business) have distinct registration and reporting requirements. Pre-application outreach to the listed agency contact is permitted and often welcomed — it helps clarify scope and scoring priorities.

Description
The Coupling, Energetics, and Dynamics of Atmospheric Regions (CEDAR) program supports research to increase our understanding of the behavior of atmospheric regions from the middle atmosphere upward through the thermosphere and ionosphere into the exosphere. Projects explore coupling, energetics, chemistry, and dynamics on regional and global scales. The research topics include investigations of upper atmosphere responses due to a) processes driven by the lower atmospheric perturbations and (b) solar radiation and particle inputs from above. The activities supported by this program include observations from ground-based and space-based platforms, as well as theory and modeling of the upper atmosphere of the Earth and other planets in our solar systems. Novel approaches that include AI and ML tools and open data and open science practices are encouraged.
