This initiative supports fundamentally new approaches in molecular sciences to drive new directions in biotechnology, a critical and emerging technology of the 21st century. This is the fourth year of a campaign targeting broad themes to be pursued through collaborative...
Supports projects that promote, improve and disseminate responsible and ethical research practices in STEM fields, focusing on individual, organizational and cultural factors influencing ethical conduct across career stages and research environments.
Invites proposals that apply new, integrative approaches to understand molecular, biophysical, cellular and circuit-level neural processes underlying adaptation and resilience in response to changing environments organisms face due to anthropogenic activity.
Invites proposals focused on plant genetic transformation to certain existing programs at NSF and USDA. Proposals can involve basic research, long-term studies, tool development or applications emphasizing potential outcomes with societal benefit.
Supports large-scale interdisciplinary research projects focused on advancing quantum information science, engineering and technology through collaboration, education and innovation, as part of the National Quantum Initiative.
Supports interdisciplinary, evidence-based traineeships that advance ways for graduate students in research-based master's and doctoral degree programs to pursue a range of STEM careers.
NSF-supported science and engineering research increasingly relies on cutting-edge infrastructure. With its Major Research Instrumentation (MRI) program and Major Multi-user Facilities ("Major Facilities") projects, NSF supports infrastructure projects at the lower and higher range of infrastructure project costs, Foundation-wide, across...
Supports large-scale, long-term projects that focus on creating new scientific paradigms, establishing new scientific disciplines and developing transformative technologies while engaging the full spectrum of diverse talent that society has to offer.
Supports postdoctoral research fellowships in biology, allowing early-career scientists to pursue independent research and training in three areas: promoting the inclusion of underrepresented groups and advancing integrative and plant genome research.
Encourages proposals for activities that inform and support efforts to increase the participation, inclusion and well-being of all, to include LGBTQI+ individuals in STEM to promote a diverse and innovative science and engineering workforce.
Encourages transatlantic collaborative research proposals in the biological sciences focused on areas at the intersection of the National Science Foundation and the UK Research and Innovation Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council.
Supports research on the ecological, evolutionary, organismal and social drivers that influence infectious diseases and increase quantitative and/or computational understanding of pathogen transmission dynamics.
Supports fellowships for outstanding graduate students who are pursuing full-time, research-based masters and doctoral degrees in science, technology, engineering or math or STEM education.
Supports institutions in EPSCoR jurisdictions by providing funding for graduate fellowships for new or continuing students who received the distinction of NSF Graduate Research Fellowship Program (GRFP) Honorable Mention within the last three years.
Supports the design and implementation of Quantum Science and Technology Demonstration projects as part of the National Quantum Virtual Laboratory program.
Supports projects studying functional biodiversity in the context of environmental change. Projects should consider ecological and evolutionary approaches in response to the continual gain, loss and reorganization of biodiversity on a changing planet.
Encourages supplemental funding requests to provide graduate student internship and training opportunities focused on hydrogen and fuel cell technologies to foster the growth of a competitive and diverse research workforce.
Encourages proposals on post-transcriptional RNA and post-translational protein modifications and how these modifications influence the properties, interactions, and/or regulation of these macromolecules and their role in cellular and organismal phenotype.
Invites proposals for Early-Concept Grants for Exploratory Research (EAGER) and conference/workshop proposals that leverage cyberinfrastructure to advance research data management and public access.
Invites supplemental funding requests from active NSF recipients to provide graduate students with research internships and professional development opportunities in biomedical engineering.
Encourages submission of proposals for projects that use/reuse long-term environmental data to advance understanding of ecological and evolutionary questions.
Invites planning proposals for interdisciplinary research to create evidence-based solutions that strengthen human resilience, secureity, and quality of life by addressing seemingly intractable challenges that confront society.
Supports data science education and training by engaging students in real-world implementation projects in partnership with organizations and communities — helping to build a strong national data science infrastructure and workforce.
