Q: I am preparing a proposal to submit to NSF. How do I request access to GeoEarthScope geochronology facilities/credits? A: NSF will award geochronology credits based on proposals submitted via the merit review proposal process. Proposals may include specific requests to access geochronology credits [but such requests will have no direct influence on NSF award decisions]. On the other hand, successful proposals may have geochronology credits issued to them even if the proposals did not request this. NSF award decisions will be science-based, not credit-based. Geochronology Credits

Q: I still have questions regarding geochronology credits and my proposal. Who should I contact for additional information? A: Investigators preparing NSF proposals should contact Kaye Shedlock, EarthScope Program Director, at NSF General question may also be directed to David Phillips, GeoEarthScope Manager, at UNAVCO Geochronology Credits

Q: Are there guidelines that should be followed if I would like to specifically request access to geochronology credits in my proposal? A: No. NSF award decisions will be science-based, not credit-based. Q: Would it be detrimental to my proposal if I requested support for geochronology analyses not available from GeoEarthScope facilities? A: No. NSF award decisions will be science-based, not credit-based. Geochronology Labs

Q: Can GeoEarthScope credits be used to support geochronology field work and sample collection? A: No. Credits can only be used for “analysis”. Q: Geochronology credits are not mentioned in NSF Solicitation Will the GeoEarthScope geochronology credits still be available for proposals submitted for the July 16, 2007 deadline? A: Yes.
