Supports fundamental research that examines how human behavior interacts with environmental and social processes, advancing geographical theory and geospatial methods through rigorous, impactful studies.
Supports the development of innovative approaches that foster open, inclusive and equitable scientific practices, enhancing geoscience research, education and capacity building through enhanced information resources and collaborative tools.
Broadens participation in the social, behavioral and economic sciences through support for research, training and research infrastructure at minority-serving institutions, including partnerships with and among those institutions.
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 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.
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.
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.
