The National Science Foundation's Life and Environments Through Time program funds research on the origin and evolution of Earth's climate, environments, life, and sedimentary record from the Archean to the Holocene. Only non-profit non-academic organizations (such as independent museums and research labs in the U.S.) and accredited two- and four-year institutions of higher education acting for their faculty may apply; for-profit businesses and individuals are not eligible applicants. Funding to international branch campuses of U.S. institutions requires special justification; no award range or deadline is stated.

About this grant
The Life and Environments Through Time (LET) program supports research that advances knowledge about the patterns and processes relating to the origin and evolution of Earth’s climate, environments, life, and sedimentary record. This research takes place at the molecular, local, regional, and global scales from the Archean Eon through the Holocene epoch. LET-supported research can be useful for predicting and planning for future global change, and for the maintenance and security of ecosystem services and human societies.
