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 transitioning teams from research that is multidisciplinary to research that transcends disciplinary boundaries with novel conceptual frameworks, theories and methods.

Supports interdisciplinary collaborations integrating research on behavioral and/or social processes in mathematical epidemiological models. The goal of this program is to minimize unintended outcomes of public health interventions in response to pandemics.

Supports diverse, collaborative teams that perform research, education and training on critical questions that span multiple disciplines within and beyond biology.

Supports the development of genomic tools and research to uncover the relationships between genes and phenotypes across environmental, developmental, social and genomic contexts.

Supports partnerships between researchers and local communities to pilot innovative, research-based solutions that address climate resilience and equitable access to essential resources, focusing on scalable, real-world impacts.

Supports mid-career researchers, at the associate professor rank (or equivalent), to substantively enhance and advance their research program through synergistic partnerships.

Supports integrative research that develops advanced mathematical theories and methods to address complex biological challenges, thereby enhancing our understanding of diverse biological systems and informing public health policy.

Supports renewal awards for active Long-term Ecological Research sites.

Supports partnerships between researchers and conservation practitioners to integrate science, action and evaluation, addressing urgent biodiversity challenges and advancing evidence-based conservation in the U.S.

Supports the design and implementation of research infrastructure — including equipment, cyberinfrastructure, large-scale datasets and personnel — whose total project costs are under $20 million.

Supports the design and implementation of Quantum Science and Technology Demonstration projects as part of the National Quantum Virtual Laboratory program.

The FAIROS Program seeks to support a broad range of transformative open science activities including but not limited to i.) Research, education, and socio-technical cyberinfrastructure development capacities that advance sustainable multi-disciplinary findable, accessible, interoperable, reusable (FAIR) research data management (RDM) and open...

Supports interdisciplinary, human-centered and use-inspired fundamental research to improve the design, development, sustainability and societal impact of equitable and resilient infrastructure across various domains.

In 2016, the National Science Foundation (NSF) unveiled a set of “Big Ideas,” 10 bold, long-term research and process ideas that identify areas for future investment at the frontiers of science and engineering (see https://www.nsf.gov/news/special_reports/big_ideas/index.jsp). The Big Ideas represent unique...

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 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 research and education to overcome barriers and enable new manufacturing capabilities. Focuses on cybermanufacturing, eco-manufacturing and biomanufacturing.

Supports research at public and private historically Black colleges and universities to strengthen research capacity and promote engagement with NSF.

Supports early-career faculty who have the potential to serve as academic role models in research and education and to lead advances in the mission of their department or organization.

Supports intensive research by undergraduate students in any NSF-funded area of research. REU Sites engage a cohort of students in research projects related to a theme. REU Supplements engage students in research related to a new or ongoing NSF research award.

Supports new managing organizations to catalyze distributed, community-driven development and growth of open-source ecosystems.

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.

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.

The contemporary research landscape is a collaborative and international enterprise requiring high level coordination among multi-disciplinary, cross-cultural teams. As such, the Accelerating Research through International Network-to-Network Collaborations program (AccelNet) values cooperation over competition. Program goals are to 1) leverage prior...
