Supports research aimed at increasing understanding of the neural mechanisms of human cognition, including attention, learning, memory, decision making, language, social cognition and emotions.
Supports research on what constitutes and promotes responsible research conduct and how to instill that knowledge in researchers, practitioners and educators across all career stages.
Supports individual engineers to conduct novel research projects that have the potential to address major societal challenges, advance U.S. leadership, and/or catalyze the convergence of engineering and science domains.
Invites conference proposals and supplemental funding requests that address the intersections between disability and fundamental science to increase access to, and equity in, STEM research and training among persons with disabilities.
Invites supplemental funding requests from awardees of specific NSF programs to provide research opportunities to veterans who are undergraduate and graduate students, K-12 teachers or community college faculty.
The Research Infrastructure in the Social and Behavioral Sciences Program (RISBS) supports projects that create computational tools and data to facilitate basic research in the social and behavioral sciences that can lead to improved health, prosperity and security. Projects should...
Supports MPS-Ascending postdoctoral research fellows who transition into tenure track faculty positions in any scientific area supported by the following divisions: Astronomical Sciences, Chemistry, Materials Research, Mathematical Sciences, and Physics.
An Ideas Lab is an intensive meeting that brings together multiple diverse perspectives to focus on finding innovative cross-disciplinary solutions to a grand challenge problem (see below and PAPPG Chapter II.F.6. for more information about this type of proposal). The...
Supports participation in an intensive, facilitated workshop that brings together HBCU faculty, staff, research administrators and academic leadership focused on exploration of innovative approaches for addressing the research capacity needs of HBCUs.
Supports the growth of inclusive innovation ecosystems through capacity-building efforts at institutions of higher education with limited research capacity — preparing these institutions to participate in NSF Regional Innovation Engines at a future time.
Supports early-stage research in emerging technologies such as AI, robotics and immersive or augmenting technologies for teaching and learning that respond to pressing needs in real-world educational environments.
Invites the creation of collaborative, interdisciplinary research centers that will lead to strong societal impacts through social, behavioral and economic sciences research related to advancing emerging technologies.
Solicits proposals for managing the operation and maintenance of the National Geophysical Facility — an NSF-funded major facility enabling the research community to answer questions about Earth processes from local to global scales.
Invites EAGER proposals and supplemental funding requests for research into the performance of tasks that require physical interaction involving sensing between people and physical or virtual agents.
