U.S. National Science Foundation · Amount varies

The NSF Thermal Transport Processes program funds fundamental engineering research on thermal transport phenomena (heat and mass transfer, convection/diffusion/radiation, phonon transport, and related thermodynamics). Eligibility is unrestricted in type of entity, but in practice NSF research awards go to universities, research institutions, and qualifying organizations and businesses submitting strong research proposals. Specific award amounts and deadlines are not stated in this listing; confirm current deadlines on the NSF program page before applying.

Idaho Field Office · Amount varies

This is a Request for Information from the DOE Idaho Field Office, not a funding opportunity; it asks nonprofits (with or without 501(c)(3) status), higher education institutions, state governments, and small businesses to submit comments on nuclear energy research priorities via NEUP.gov. No funding is attached (amount shown as $0), so responding does not itself lead to an award. Eligible respondent types are broad, but this is input-gathering only, not a grant.

State Treasurer's Office · $1.5M–$550M

A tax-exempt bond financing program (not a grant) for California businesses of any size involved in pollution control, waste disposal, recycling, composting, or resource recovery facilities; smaller businesses (500 employees or fewer) may also qualify under separate federal size standards. Financed amounts range from about $1.5 million to $550 million, with strict rules on how bond proceeds may be used (e.g., at least 95% must go to the defined project). Final eligibility depends on review by bond counsel and tax counsel.

Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery · Amount varies

Open to businesses, nonprofits, and public agencies operating California-based recycling businesses that prevent, reduce, or recycle waste materials through value-added processing or manufacturing. This is a revolving loan program, not a grant, so funds must be repaid. No specific award amount or deadline is listed, and eligibility is limited to California recycling-sector operations located within designated zones.

Natural Resources · $20K–$6M

Open to government agencies, schools, nonprofits, and for-profit organizations for invasive carp management in Illinois waterways under the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative. Funds technical and financial assistance to protect, conserve, or restore habitat and species on public or private land in the Great Lakes Basin. Awards range from $20,000 up to $6 million; no deadline listed.

Natural Resources · $50K–$800K

Open to government agencies, schools, nonprofits, and for-profit organizations for aquatic invasive species work in Great Lakes states. Funds technical and financial assistance to identify, protect, conserve, manage, or restore habitat and species on public or private land within the Great Lakes Basin. Awards range from $50,000 to $800,000; no deadline listed.

U.S. National Science Foundation · Amount varies

Eligibility is unrestricted and open to any type of entity (subject to any clarifications in the program's eligibility text), making this NSF program broadly available. The Accountable Institutions and Behavior (AIB) Program funds theoretically grounded, methodologically rigorous basic social-science research on attitudes, behavior, and institutions related to public policy and public services, and also supports undergraduate research experiences and methodological infrastructure. Note that the program does not fund applied research, so proposals must be basic-science oriented.
