U.S. National Science Foundation · Amount varies

Eligibility is unrestricted (open to any entity type, subject to NSF clarifications), but this National Science Foundation program funds crosscutting materials-research activities such as diversity and inclusion efforts, international cooperation, education, workshops, summer schools, and conferences rather than traditional research projects. Award amounts and deadlines are not specified, and program directors recommend contacting them before submitting any full proposal exceeding $50,000. Foreign organizations face the usual NSF limitations, so most awards go to U.S. institutions.

U.S. National Science Foundation · $300K–$800K

This NSF program is open to U.S. institutions of higher education and U.S. non-profit, non-academic research organizations (such as independent museums, observatories, and research labs); for-profit businesses and individuals cannot apply directly. It funds the design of novel or greatly improved research tools and methods (in bioinformatics, instrumentation, and research methods) that advance biological research broadly. Awards typically range from about $300,000 to $800,000, and the infrastructure produced must be useful to a community of researchers beyond a single team.
