Innovation: Bioinformatics | NSF - U.S. National Science Foundation Infrastructure Innovation for Biological Research (Innovation) Innovation: Bioinformatics Important information for proposers and award recipients All proposals must be submitted in accordance with the requirements specified in the funding opportunity and in the Proposal & Award Policies & Procedures Guide (PAPPG) and its supplements .
All NSF grants and cooperative agreements are subject to the applicable set of NSF award terms and conditions . NSF has updated its research security policies for NSF funded projects. Supports research on the development of bioinformatics approaches to advance biological research in all areas funded by the Directorate for Biological Sciences.
Supports research on the development of bioinformatics approaches to advance biological research in all areas funded by the Directorate for Biological Sciences.
The Bioinformatics Programmatic Area supports the design of novel and innovative bioinformatics approaches that have the potential to become part of the cyberinfrastructure that will advance or transform biological understanding and that has the potential to be broadly applicable in biology.
Proposed projects may be focused on any biological process that will be better understood through the development of computational tools and approaches to acquire, model, or analyze biological information.
The scope of the proposed project should include one discrete or several tightly coupled problems in biological informatics or data science that addresses a biological research problem that can include but is not limited to: novel databases, including standards, ontologies, architectures, and interoperability; algorithms or software; tools for data analysis and integrating across biological scales; or scientific workflows.
However, projects that develop tools for computer and information science, math or statistics, with no clear application to biology will be returned without review. Projects are expected to have a significant application to one or more biological science questions and have the potential to be used by a community of researchers beyond a single research team.

Research Opportunities in Space and Earth Science (ROSES) - 2025: A.4 Rapid Response and Novel Research in Earth Science is sponsored by National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Science Mission Directorate (SMD). This omnibus research funding opportunity includes various program elements, with rolling submissions for Earth Science research through August 2026. Proposers to Earth Science using the NASA Center for Climate Simulation high-end computing facility must include specific budget details.
NSF 26-517 replaces the core solicitations of Environmental Biology, Integrative Organismal Systems and Molecular and Cellular Biosciences with a single directorate-wide opportunity. Proposals are accepted anytime, sorted centrally by NSF rather than targeted by the PI, and reorganized under three inquiry areas. Here is what the $280 million actually buys, why the loss of program targeting cuts both ways, and what to do before the September 16 webinar.
Read articleNSF's Arctic Research Opportunities solicitation funds roughly 75 awards a year — up to $50 million — across six program areas from natural sciences to social sciences to the Arctic Observing Network. The July 15, 2026 target date is not a hard deadline, and understanding that distinction is the first strategic decision an Arctic researcher makes. Here is how the six doors differ and how to choose the right one.
