The objective of the Human-Environment and Geographical Sciences Program is to support basic scientific research about the nature, causes, consequences, or evolution of the spatial dimensions of human behaviors, activities, and dynamics as well as their interactions with environmental and...
The Geosciences Open Science Ecosystem (GEO OSE) program seeks to realize the benefits of open science practices toward advancing research and education in the geosciences. To achieve this vision, the GEO OSE program encourages efforts to foster adoption of open...
Build and Broaden (B2) supports fundamental research and research capacity across disciplines at minority-serving institutions (MSIs) and encourages research collaborations with scholars at MSIs. Growing the science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) workforce is a national priority. National forecasts of...
Invites submissions responsive to the Industry-University Cooperative Research Center (IUCRC) program solicitation in the broad topic area of tissue-mimicking phantoms for optical medical devices.
Supports integrative, cross-disciplinary research that explores the mechanistic and eco-evolutionary responses of organisms to climate change, aiming to improve predictions, develop solutions for mitigating impacts and support the bioeconomy.
Invites proposals that span from basic research to translation in collaboration with BioMADE and participating NSF programs in the Directorates for Biological Sciences and Engineering in areas that will advance the U.S. bioeconomy.
Supports fundamental research, through an NSF-Intel partnership, on heterogeneous integration of semiconductor technologies using advanced packaging to drive future communication, computing, biotechnology, energy and other applications.
Supports research aimed at understanding patterns, causes and consequences of human social and cultural variation, including research that has implications for confronting anthropogenic problems.
Supports research into synthetic microbial communities, including how they form and evolve, how to use them to address biological questions and/or how to build them for biotechnology or bioengineering applications.
Supports fundamental and solutions-based research and education on the Earth's near-space environment and the sun-Earth system, including the societal impacts of space weather.
Supports state-of-the-art facilities and instrumentation to enable research by the scientific community in atmospheric and geospace sciences, including research aircraft, supercomputers and community governed models of atmospheric processes.
Supports fundamental research on atmospheric processes, including chemical, physical and dynamic factors that influence weather, climate, air quality and the water cycle.
Invites collaborative U.S.-U.K. research proposals focused on advancing quantum information science in chemical systems, promoting transatlantic partnerships by allowing a single submission and merit review through a lead agency process.
Supports efforts to address safety, security and privacy vulnerabilities in open-source ecosystems to enhance their resilience and ability to manage current and future risks.
Invites current award recipients from select BIO and MPS Directorate programs to request extended funding for high-risk biotechnology and bioeconomy-related research with significant potential for commercial translation and impact on the U.S. bioeconomy.
Invites multilateral research proposals from the U.S., Australia, India and Japan to advance innovation through critical technologies such as AI, robotics and sensing to empower farmers to tackle real-world challenges and increase crop yields and resilience.
Encourages proposals that advance biological research through use of Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning (AI/ML) or through development of AI/ML methods using biological data and systems in areas supported by the four Divisions of the BIO Directorate.
Encourages interdisciplinary research proposals using plasma science and engineering to address two critical challenges: removing persistent environmental pollutants known as PFAS and developing novel, more efficient methods for microelectronics fabrication.
Supports collaborative high-risk, high-reward projects to develop cutting-edge tools and methods that advance RNA biological research and biotechnology for applications across various sectors, including agriculture, energy and global health.
Supports international multilateral research partnerships that address urgent global challenges by leveraging diverse expertise from countries outside the U.S., focusing on advancing research and understanding of effective multilateral collaboration.
Encourages U.S.-French collaborative research proposals to develop sustainable catalysts and catalytic strategies using earth-abundant elements, focusing on organometallic catalysis, organocatalysis, and photocatalysis.
Supports doctoral research aimed at understanding patterns, causes and consequences of human social and cultural variation, including research that has implications for confronting anthropogenic problems.
