AIP Venture Grants - AIP. ORG The AIP Venture Grant program serves to advance Member Society success by funding collaborative activities that are strategy-driven and promote growth, increased stature, and innovation in and among the Federation’s Member Societies and with the possible inclusion of AIP Affiliates.
The grants program also serves AIP’s goal to catalyze positive change in the physical sciences enterprise, by supporting initiatives that extend their impact and reach into the broader community. Pre-proposals are due June 5. If invited, full proposals are due on August 1.
Funding for new grants will be distributed in early January of the following year. Proposals are solicited that: are strategy-driven and promote growth, increased stature, and innovation in and among the federation’s MS/Affiliates; and/or impact the broader physical science community and/or other audiences. Proposals for scientific research activities are not accepted.
Proposals for ongoing activities will only be considered where a major new and innovative component is being proposed.
Example proposals may involve: A task force, study or pilot project that addresses a major strategic issue for the AIP federation or an individual or subset of Member Societies/Affiliates A project to understand better or strengthen the membership of an individual or subset of Member Societies/Affiliates; Conduct data-gathering projects; Launch an innovative media or other public engagement experiment; Launch an advocacy or government relations project or program; Develop a concept (such as education related projects) for a proposal to a funding agency or other source of external funding.

NSF 26-523 folds 12 core physics programs and three cross-cutting ones into a single solicitation with $180 million and roughly 300 awards. Proposals are accepted anytime, but AMO-Experiment and Gravitational Physics still target November 25 and QIS targets December 8. Cost sharing is prohibited, indirect cost rates are now a tiebreaker, and NSF reserves the right to phase out long-duration efforts after comparative review.

Read articleDOE's FY2026 Office of Science open-call solicitation (DE-FOA-0003600) makes roughly $500 million available across about 500 awards of $50,000 to $5 million — across computing, physics, chemistry, biology, fusion, and isotopes — with a rolling window that stays open through September 30, 2026. Unlike a targeted NOFO, it lets investigators propose almost anything within the agency's mission. Here is how the open call actually works, why it is chronically underused, and how to write into it.
