Upcoming NSF Grant Opportunities

Analysis

Deadline: October 4, 2016

The Analysis Program supports basic research in that area of mathematics whose roots can be traced to the calculus of Newton and Leibniz.

Advanced Technological Education (ATE)–Centers

Deadline: October 6, 2016

With an emphasis on two-year colleges, the Advanced Technological Education (ATE) program focuses on the education of technicians for the high-technology fields that drive our nation’s economy.

MacroSystems Biology and Early NEON Science: Research on Biological Systems at Regional to Continental Scales

Deadline: October 17, 2016

The MacroSystems Biology and Early NEON Science: Research on Biological Systems at Regional to Continental Scales program will support quantitative, interdisciplinary, systems-oriented research on biosphere processes and their complex interactions with climate, land use, and invasive species at regional to continental scales as well as planning, training, and development activities to enable groups to conduct MacroSystems Biology and Early NEON Science research.

Computing and Communication Foundations (CCF): Core Programs

Deadline: October 19, 2016 (Multiple programs available)

CISE’s Division of Computing and Communication Foundations (CCF) supports research and education projects that develop new knowledge in three core programs: The Algorithmic Foundations (AF) program; The Communications and Information Foundations (CIF) program; and The Software and Hardware Foundations (SHF) program.

NSF/DOE Partnership in Basic Plasma Science and Engineering

Deadline: October 21, 2016

As stated in the original solicitation (NSF 97-39), which is superseded by the present solicitation, the goal of the initiative is to enhance basic plasma research and education in this broad, multidisciplinary field by coordinating efforts and combining resources of the two agencies. The current solicitation also encourages submission of proposals to perform basic plasma experiments at NSF and DOE supported user facilities.

Division of Physics: Investigator-Initiated Research Projects

Deadline: October 26, 2016

The Division of Physics (PHY) supports physics research and education in the nation’s colleges and universities across a broad range of physics disciplines that span scales of space and time from the largest to the smallest and the oldest to the youngest.

Polymers

Deadline: October 31, 2016

The DMR Polymers Program supports fundamental research and education on polymeric materials and polymer science. The program portfolio is mainly experimental and highly diverse with components of materials science, chemistry, physics, and other related disciplines.
