The National Science Foundation (NSF) and the National Institutes of Health (NIH) are interested in proposals that will propel our understanding of the biomedical research enterprise by drawing from the scientific expertise of the science of science policy research community. NSF promotes the progress of science by maintaining the general health of research and education across all fields of science and engineering.
The Social, Behavioral and Economic Sciences (SBE) Directorate within NSF supports basic research on people and society. The SBE sciences focus on human behavior and social organizations; how social, economic, political, cultural and environmental forces affect the lives of people from birth to old age; and how people in turn shape those forces.
SBE's Science of Science: Discovery, Communication and Impact Program (SoS:DCI) supports research designed to advance the scientific basis of science and innovation policy.
The NIH is the U.S. federal agency charged with supporting biomedical research in the U.S. The National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) within the NIH supports basic biomedical research that increases understanding of biological processes and lays the foundation for advances in disease diagnosis, treatment and prevention.
Both NSF and NIH believe that there are opportunities and needs for building and supporting research projects with a focus on the scientific research enterprise. The two agencies also recognize that when programmatic goals are compatible, coordinated management and funding of a research program can have a positive synergistic effect on the level and scope of research and can leverage the investments of both agencies.
Therefore, NIGMS and SBE are partnering to enable collaboration in research between the SoS:DCI program and NIGMS. This partnership will result in a portfolio of high-quality research to provide scientific analysis of important aspects of the biomedical research enterprise and efforts to foster a diverse, innovative, productive and efficient scientific workforce, from which future scientific leaders will emerge.
Prospective investigators are strongly encouraged to discuss their proposals with the program officers before submission to determine project relevance to the priorities of both SBE and NIGMS. Specific questions pertaining to this solicitation can also be directed to the SBE and NIGMS program officers.

Smart Health and Biomedical Research in the Era of Artificial Intelligence and Advanced Data Science (SCH) (NSF 25-542) is sponsored by National Science Foundation (NSF) / National Institutes of Health (NIH). This interagency program supports transformative, high-risk, high-reward advances in computer and information science, engineering, mathematics, statistics, behavioral, and/or cognitive research to address pressing questions in biomedical and public health communities. It focuses on scientific and engineering innovations by interdisciplinary teams developing novel methods to collect, sense, connect, analyze, and interpret data to enable discovery and optimize health.
Collaborative Research in Computational Neuroscience (CRCNS) is sponsored by National Science Foundation (NSF) / National Institutes of Health (NIH). The CRCNS program supports collaborative research projects and the sharing of data and other resources for the study of computational neuroscience, spanning multiple levels of analysis and complexity, from genes to behavior.
Smart Health and Biomedical Research in the Era of AI and Advanced Data Science (SCH) (NSF 25-542) is sponsored by National Science Foundation (NSF) / National Institutes of Health (NIH). This is a joint NIH/NSF program for high-risk, high-reward interdisciplinary projects at the intersection of AI, ML, and computing research applied to biomedical and health problems. Projects must cross disciplinary boundaries, explicitly targeting teams pairing computer scientists with clinicians or public health researchers.
The UKRI Policy Fellowships 2025, funded by the Economic and Social Research Council, offer 18-month placements for academics to co-design research with UK government and What Works Network host organizations. Awards range from £180,000 to £280,000 and support three fellowship tracks: core policy fellows, Natural Hazards and Resilience policy fellows, and What Works Innovation fellows. Applicants must hold a PhD or equivalent research experience, be based at a UKRI-eligible UK organization, and possess relevant subject matter or methodological expertise. Government-hosted positions target early to mid-career academics, while What Works fellowships welcome all career stages. Fellows work directly with policymakers to bridge academic research and policy development on pressing national and global challenges. The application deadline is July 15, 2025.
The Smart Data Research UK Fellowships provide up to £200,000 per project for researchers using smart data to address real-world challenges across the United Kingdom. Funded by UKRI through Smart Data Research UK, this program supports up to ten projects lasting 18 months, with start dates by February 2026. Applicants must be based at eligible UK organizations and demonstrate strong data skills with a compelling research question aligned to one of four SDR UK themes: productivity and prosperity, health and wellbeing, sustainability, or communities and places. Researchers at all career stages may apply, with early career researchers particularly encouraged. Projects may use smart datasets from SDR UK's six national data services or combine smart data with administrative and survey data sources.
New NIH awards have fallen 34% in 2026, NSF is running months behind, and a proposed OMB rule would let political appointees terminate grants mid-stream. The funding environment for academic research has structurally changed. Here is a clear-eyed diversification strategy for PIs, research offices, and institutions that cannot wait for the political fight to resolve.
Read articleOMB's proposed rewrite of 2 CFR Part 200 would bar political appointees from deferring to peer reviewers and require senior-appointee sign-off on every discretionary grant. NIH new awards are already down about 34% in 2026. Here is what the merit-review changes actually say, how 'Gold Standard Science' becomes a scoring lever, why R1 universities are being written out of some solicitations, and what principal investigators and research offices should do before October 1.
Read articleOPM's March 2026 rule strips civil service protections from positions deemed policy-influencing — including potentially thousands of grant reviewers and program officers across NSF, NIH, and the Department of Defense. Here's how grant seekers should adapt.
