Human-Environment and Geographical Sciences Program (HEGS) is sponsored by National Science Foundation (NSF). Supports basic scientific research about the nature, causes, consequences, or evolution of the spatial dimensions of human behaviors, activities, and dynamics as well as their interactions with environmental and social processes across a range of scales. This includes research on socio-environmental systems and human-environmental interactions, which can encompass aspects of polycentric governance and common pool resources. The program has a new Transdisciplinary REsearch in Environmental Social Science (TREES) track for integrating social and environmental science.
The FY2026 Department of Defense Multidisciplinary University Research Initiative (MURI) program supports basic research in science and engineering at U.S. institutions of higher education, with emphasis on multidisciplinary research where more than one traditional discipline interacts. The Army, Navy, and Air Force basic research offices are seeking applications across 22 topic areas including artificial intelligence and autonomy, information sensing and processing, and systems manipulation. MURI grants typically provide $1.25 million to $1.5 million per year for three years with option to extend two additional years. Approximately $170 million in total funding is available annually across all topics. The program is administered through the Office of Naval Research (ONR), Army Research Office (ARO), and Air Force Office of Scientific Research (AFOSR).

Eligible applicants include institutions of higher education and nonprofit or for-profit organizations. Track I and Track K focus on specific high-priority topics announced each funding cycle. The next deadline is June 15, 2026. Proposals must comply with updated NSF research security policies effective July 2025.
Title III of the Defense Production Act lets the Pentagon hand non-dilutive capital to companies that expand domestic production of defense-critical materials and manufacturing — through a white-paper-first pathway run by the Air Force Research Laboratory (FA8650-19-S-5010) rather than a conventional grant competition. But the core DPA authorities sunset September 30, 2026 absent reauthorization, and the standing white-paper window has moved in and out of suspension. Here is how the Title III mechanism actually works, why it rewards companies that lead with a supply-chain vulnerability, and how to position before the authority cliff.

But you cannot apply to FEMA: you apply through your State Administrative Agency, whose deadline lands weeks before the July 24 federal cutoff. Here is how the money is structured, what a winning Investment Justification actually contains, and why the reimbursement model catches first-time applicants off guard.
