Opportunity Information: Apply for 23 513
The National Science Foundation (NSF) grant opportunity titled Partnerships in Astronomy and Astrophysics Research and Education (PAARE), Funding Opportunity Number 23-513, is designed to strengthen astronomy and astrophysics research and education through formal, long-term collaborations. The core purpose is not simply to fund isolated projects, but to encourage durable partnerships that meaningfully improve the research and learning environment while creating clear, authentic pathways for people to enter and succeed in the astronomy and astrophysics research enterprise.
A central emphasis of PAARE is broadening participation in the field, specifically by increasing opportunities for individuals from groups that are underrepresented in astronomy. The program expects partnerships to be structured in a way that directly affects recruitment, retention, and overall success for these individuals. In practice, this means proposals should show how the partnership will create real, hands-on research experiences for students and faculty, rather than limited or purely classroom-based activities. The intent is to connect participants to the actual day-to-day work of research, such as working with data, instrumentation, observing programs, computational methods, publication pipelines, professional networks, and other components that shape research careers.
PAARE also focuses on building or strengthening research capacity at the participating institutions. This can include developing faculty research programs, improving institutional support for research and mentoring, expanding access to research infrastructure or collaborations, and creating systems that help students persist and thrive in the field. Alongside capacity-building, the program explicitly expects partnerships to foster a diverse, inclusive, and equitable environment for astronomy and astrophysics research and education. In other words, the program is not only interested in increasing the number of participants, but also in improving the conditions that influence whether people feel welcomed, supported, and able to advance.
Administratively, PAARE is an NSF discretionary grant program in the Science and Technology and other Research and Development category, listed under CFDA number 47.049. The opportunity is broadly open in terms of eligibility (listed as unrestricted, with the caveat that any additional eligibility details would be contained in the full solicitation text). The opportunity was created on November 8, 2022, with an original closing date of February 15, 2023. NSF anticipated making about five awards under this solicitation. The award ceiling is listed as 0, which typically indicates that proposers should rely on the solicitation for specific budget guidance rather than assuming a standard maximum from the summary alone.
Overall, PAARE can be understood as a targeted NSF effort to use sustained institutional partnerships to widen entry points into astronomy and astrophysics, improve research and education quality, and make the field more representative and equitable by embedding inclusion and capacity-building into the structure and outcomes of the collaborations.Apply for 23 513
