Advanced Manufacturing | NSF - U.S. National Science Foundation View image credit & caption Since 1950, the U.S. National Science Foundation has expanded the frontiers of manufacturing, funding breakthroughs such as nanomaterials, computer-aided design and 3D printing. Manufacturing is essential to almost every sector of the global economy, from chemicals and electronics to food and medicine.
Technological advances are transforming manufacturing industries, promising more dynamic and efficient products that improve people's lives, strengthen the national economy, create higher-paying jobs, and enhance U.S. competitiveness on a global stage. Find funding in advanced manufacturing NSF's decades of sustained investments have ensured the continual advance of manufacturing research.
Pioneering work supported by NSF includes: Research by NSF-funded scientists into solid modeling enabled widespread use of computer-aided design, which has revolutionized manufacturing processes across the globe. Foundational investments by NSF led to the development of digital twin modeling , a widely used approach that allows engineers to simulate how a product, process or system will perform before they make changes to it.
Early NSF-funded research in additive manufacturing played a pivotal role in the development of 3D-printing techniques . Innovation in advanced manufacturing We enable discoveries that lead to products and processes with higher performance; new capabilities; better safety, security and privacy guarantees; and the use of fewer and more-sustainable resources.
Enabling tomorrow's manufacturing industries We support research in emerging areas to enable industries that do not exist today, with a focus on cyber-, eco- and bio-manufacturing research advances and human-centered automation.
Next-generation semiconductors and microelectronics We support research on the design, fabrication and manufacture of new semiconductor technologies using advanced and sustainable materials, techniques and processes.
Biomanufacturing using biotechnology We support research that harnesses biology to manufacture therapeutic cells and molecules, chemicals, fuels and other products, as well as the development of bio-based technologies for computing, communication and other uses.
Research infrastructure for manufacturing We support the development of research tools and testbeds necessary to characterize, fabricate and test materials, processes and technologies while enabling access to semiconductor and biomanufacturing foundries.
Education and workforce development We support efforts to attract, educate, train and reskill/upskill workers from across the nation, from K-12 to college and industry, for the manufacturing workforce of the future.
Partnerships to accelerate progress We partner with other federal agencies, industry and nonprofits to share data, tools, expertise and other resources; strengthen workforce development; and translate research into products and services that benefit society.
Foundational Research in Robotics Scientists and engineers are developing robots that can handle critical tasks — from manufacturing to caring for the elderly — with greater dexterity and safety than previous generations of intelligent machines. NSF's Foundational Research in Robotics program supports research on robotic systems that exhibit significant levels of both computational capability and physical complexity.
Explore interdisciplinary programs in robotics Supports fundamental manufacturing research that addresses issues related to national prosperity and security and has the potential to contribute to the revitalization of American manufacturing. America's Seed Fund (SBIR/STTR) Supports startups and small businesses to translate research into products and services, including advanced manufacturing and robotics , for the public good.
Experiential Learning for Emerging and Novel Technologies Supports experiential learning opportunities that provide cohorts of learners with the skills needed to succeed in advanced manufacturing and other emerging technology fields.
Manufacturing Systems Integration Supports research into the opportunities and challenges that digital technologies present for the next industrial revolution — such as connectivity, automation and secure collaboration — and their roles in global manufacturing.

Economics of AI Fellowship is sponsored by Stripe. The fellowship supports foundational academic research in the economics of AI, an area currently understudied despite rapid technical progress in artificial intelligence. Fellows receive a baseline grant, opportunities to attend conferences with leading economists and technologists, and potential access to unique data via Stripe and its customers.
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.
NSF 26-516 folds Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences, Earth Sciences and Ocean Sciences into a single GEO Core solicitation: $110 million, 200 to 350 awards, proposals accepted anytime. Geosciences piloted no-deadline review nine years ago and knows what it does to submission volume. Here is the per-award math, the ship-time and permitting traps, and the two-year data-archive clock that now governs every award.
Read articleNSF 26-520 consolidates 14 mathematical sciences programs into $200 million and 400 to 600 awards with no per-PI cap and no deadline. Folded into it are Research Training Groups and Focused Research Groups — department-scale, cohort-building competitions that ran on a fixed annual date. Here is why removing that date is a different kind of change for training grants than for single-investigator grants, and what math departments should do before the fall.

Accomplishment-based renewals will be returned without review, voluntary cost sharing is prohibited, and routine instrument upgrades are explicitly deprioritized. The new Innovations track — one to three awards a year — is where facility operations and community observing time now live.
