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.

U.S. National Science Foundation · $400K–$2M

Open to any type of entity (subject to NSF clarifications), the NSF RISBS program funds creation of computational tools and data infrastructure that enable basic social and behavioral science research, including major longitudinal surveys; it does not fund a PI's own research except in service of building the infrastructure. Awards range roughly from $400,000 to $2,000,000. In practice this large-award program is best suited to research institutions building shared data resources.

U.S. National Science Foundation · Amount varies

The NSF Law & Science Program funds social-scientific research on law and on how science and technology are applied in legal contexts, and its eligibility is unrestricted (open to any eligible entity type, subject to NSF's standard rules). It supports standard and collaborative research grants as well as conference awards across many disciplines. Funding amounts are not specified here, so review the full solicitation for award size and any entity-specific requirements.

U.S. National Science Foundation · Amount varies

Open to any type of entity (the NSF lists eligibility as unrestricted, though awards typically go to universities and research institutions). The U.S. National Science Foundation's Security and Preparedness program funds basic, theory-driven social science research on global and national security; it does not fund applied research. The program also supports undergraduate research experiences and methodological infrastructure. No award amount or deadline is stated here.

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.

Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery · Amount varies

This is a loan program (not a traditional grant) from California's Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle), open to businesses, nonprofits, and public agencies. It funds projects that reduce greenhouse gas and landfill methane emissions, improve air and water quality, benefit disadvantaged communities, and create jobs, supporting the goals of California's AB 32. No amount or deadline is listed; because funds are provided as a loan rather than a grant, applicants should review repayment terms and California-specific requirements.

U.S. National Science Foundation · Amount varies

This NSF program funds fundamental engineering research to improve quality of life for people with disabilities, covering areas like neuroengineering, rehabilitation robotics, and assistive technologies. Eligibility is unrestricted, so most entity types may apply, though proposals are typically led by universities and research organizations; note that NSF does not support clinical trials and high-risk/high-reward work is encouraged. Funding amounts and deadlines are not specified here.

U.S. National Science Foundation · $50K–$600K

This NSF program funds early-stage collaborative projects that build research data infrastructure supporting public access and open science, bringing together cyberinfrastructure researchers, data and library experts, and research labs.

Awards range from about $50,000 to $600,000.

U.S. National Science Foundation · Amount varies

This NSF Foundational Research in Robotics (FRR) program, run jointly by the CISE and ENG directorates, funds fundamental research on robotic systems that combine significant computational capability and physical complexity. Eligibility is unrestricted and open to any type of entity, subject to standard NSF rules; proposals must clearly center on a robot or class of robots and address fundamental gaps in robotics. No specific award amounts or deadline are listed in the available data. Projects better aligned with other NSF programs should be submitted elsewhere.

Air Force Academy · $0–$99M

The U.S. Air Force Academy uses this Broad Agency Announcement to fund research that supports cadet learning, faculty development, and Air Force mission needs across diverse fields such as hypersonics, cybersecurity, spatial disorientation, athletic performance, and homeland defense. It is open to non-government firms and partners (universities, businesses, and other non-federal entities); federal agencies are not eligible and should pursue internal government channels instead. The stated award range is very broad (from $0 up to about $99 million), so funding varies widely by project, and applicants typically begin by submitting a white paper.

U.S. National Science Foundation · Amount varies

Methodological work must be motivated by high-impact engineering applications; funding amounts and a deadline are not specified here.

U.S. National Science Foundation · Amount varies

The National Science Foundation's Cellular and Biochemical Engineering program funds fundamental engineering research on cellular and biomolecular processes, including metabolic engineering, synthetic biology, protein and enzyme engineering, and biomanufacturing. Eligibility is listed as unrestricted, but in practice NSF proposals are submitted by universities and research institutions, with proposers expected to address potential biomanufacturing impact. Proposals focused on tissue engineering, organ culture, or disease models fall outside this program's scope. Award amount and deadline are not specified.

Eligibility is listed as unrestricted, though NSF proposals are in practice submitted by universities and research institutions; proposals are accepted at any time, with specific solicitations carrying their own deadlines. Award amount is not specified.

U.S. National Science Foundation · Amount varies

An open National Science Foundation program (Mind, Machine, and Motor Nexus / M3X) funding fundamental research on bidirectional interaction between humans and intelligent engineered systems in physics-based environments, with applications such as elder care, disaster response, and rehabilitation technologies. Eligibility is listed as unrestricted (open to any eligible entity type), though in practice NSF research awards primarily go to universities and research organizations on behalf of their investigators. No specific award amount or application deadline was listed in this record.
