Education Programs in Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences
This program funds atmospheric and geospace education and professional development activities, including REU site internships at universities and research laboratories and invited education-support proposals for NSF AGS students and postdocs.
⚑ AGS Education proposals are invitation only. · REU Site proposals have an annual August deadline. · Program includes postdoctoral fellowships, but the education program funds professional development costs rather than the core fellowship award.

Description
AGSEducation supports efforts to integrateatmospheric and geospaceresearch and education via two main program areas, which are:
1) Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) Site Program . This program provides funding to Universities andResearch Laboratories that allows them to offer summer internships to undergraduate students who would like to participate inatmospheric and/or geospaceresearch efforts. Proposals may be submitted annually (August deadline).
2) AGS Postdoctoral Fellowships :AGS awards 2-year Postdoctoral Fellowships to highly qualified investigators within 3 years of obtaining their PhD to carry out an integrated program of independent research and education. While the postdoc program is funded by core programs, the AGS Education program supports the cost of professional development for the fellows.
Additionally, this program will support efforts related to education and professional development for undergraduate and graduate students and postdocs within the NSF Atmospheric and Geospace communities.Proposals to the AGS Education program are acceptedby invitation only. Please contact theeducation program director if you intend to submit a proposal to this program.
