National Institutes of Health · Amount varies

A forecasted (not yet open) NIH opportunity to fund Centers for Structural Biology of HIV and other Infectious Diseases, supporting multi-investigator centers that use structural biology to study HIV and other pathogens. It is aimed at established research institutions able to run a center with shared resources and multiple projects. Specific eligibility, funding amounts, and deadlines have not yet been posted.

National Institutes of Health · Amount varies

This is a forecasted (not yet open) NIH single-source opportunity for a Resource Center supporting the Support for Research Excellence (SuRE) program, which helps build research capacity at institutions serving underrepresented students. "Single source" means it is intended for one specific, pre-identified institution rather than open competition. Eligibility details, award amounts, and deadlines have not been published. Given the single-source structure, the typical applicant should assume they are not eligible.

National Institutes of Health · Amount varies

This is a forecasted, single-source NIH opportunity for an Institutional Development Award (IDeA) Clinical Research Resource Center. Detailed eligibility, award amounts, and deadlines are not yet posted. As a single-source award, it is intended for a specific predetermined institution rather than open competition, and IDeA programs target institutions in states with historically lower NIH funding, so general applicants are unlikely to be eligible.

Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health · Amount varies

This is a forecasted Teen Pregnancy Prevention Evaluation Grants program from the HHS Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health, supporting rigorous evaluation of teen pregnancy prevention approaches. Awards of this type generally go to research institutions, universities, and nonprofits with program evaluation expertise. Eligibility details, funding amounts, and the deadline have not yet been posted.

U.S. National Science Foundation · Amount varies

This NSF program (RUI and ROA) supports research by faculty at predominantly undergraduate institutions, helping build campus research capacity and integrate research with undergraduate education. Only accredited colleges and universities (including two-year community colleges) that have awarded 20 or fewer Ph.D./D.Sci. degrees in NSF-supported fields over the prior two academic years may submit; this is a restrictive institutional eligibility rule. Funding amounts and a fixed deadline are not listed, so contact the relevant NSF disciplinary program officer to confirm fit and timing.

National Institutes of Health · Amount varies

This is a forecasted (not yet open) NIH opportunity to operate a Statistical and Clinical Coordinating Center for autoimmune diseases research. It is intended for research institutions with strong biostatistics and clinical coordination capacity. Eligibility, funding amounts, and deadlines have not yet been posted, so interested applicants should monitor for the full announcement.

U.S. National Science Foundation · Amount varies

This NSF Combustion and Fire Systems program funds fundamental research on combustion and fire science to support clean energy, climate change mitigation, and public safety, including basic combustion science, clean-energy combustion, and wildland/building fire behavior. Eligibility is unrestricted and open to any type of entity, subject to standard NSF rules. No specific award amounts or deadline are listed in the available data. Review the full NSF solicitation for proposal windows and any additional eligibility clarifications.

Food and Drug Administration · Amount varies

A forecasted (not yet open) FDA opportunity (U01, clinical trial required) to fund research evaluating the cutaneous pharmacokinetics of topical drug products using pharmacokinetic tomography. It is aimed at research institutions and investigators with expertise in dermatological pharmacokinetics and the capacity to run a required clinical study. Specific eligibility, funding amounts, and deadlines have not yet been posted.

U.S. National Science Foundation · $25K–$1.2M

Open to U.S.-based nonprofit non-academic organizations (such as independent museums, observatories, research labs, and professional societies tied to research/education) and to accredited U.S. institutions of higher education acting for their faculty. NSF's Infrastructure Capacity for Biological Research (Capacity) Program funds building or scaling shared research infrastructure in three areas — cyberinfrastructure, biological collections, and biological field stations/marine laboratories — with awards ranging from about $25,000 up to $1.2 million. It excludes instrumentation (use the MRI program) and infrastructure built for a single project or lab; resources are expected to be openly accessible and serve a broad research community.

National Institutes of Health · Amount varies

A forecasted (not yet open) NIH Centers of Biomedical Research Excellence: Development Phase (COBRE-D) opportunity, which builds biomedical research capacity and supports early-career investigators, typically in IDeA-eligible states with historically lower NIH funding.

Specific eligibility, funding amounts, and deadlines have not yet been posted; applicants should confirm whether their state qualifies.

NASA Headquarters · Amount varies

NASA's umbrella SpaceTech-REDDI-2026 announcement funds space technology research, development, demonstration, and infusion, with specific topics released as appendices throughout the year. Participation is broad — educational, industry, and nonprofit institutions, FFRDCs, UARCs, and other entities — and includes U.S. and, to the extent practicable, non-U.S. organizations, but NASA Centers, NASA civil servants, and JPL cannot receive awards. Each appendix may add its own eligibility limits and deadlines, so applicants must check the individual topic solicitation on NSPIRES.
