Biomaterials (BMAT) | NSF - U.S. National Science Foundation MPS Materials Research Programs (MPS Materials) 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 and education on biological, biomimetic, bioinspired and bioenabled materials, and on synthetic materials intended for applications where they will be in contact with biological systems.
Supports research and education on biological, biomimetic, bioinspired and bioenabled materials, and on synthetic materials intended for applications where they will be in contact with biological systems. The Biomaterials program supports foundational materials research that emphasizes novel biomaterials design, development, and discovery of new phenomena.
The program supports research in the following topic areas: Ideas and platforms that improve efficiency and accelerate discovery. Integration of experiments and theory to discover, design, and characterize biomaterials. Tailoring biomaterials towards biotechnology advancements.
Within the key topics above, the program supports research involving the following biomaterials: Engineered living materials. Dynamic, responsive and smart biomaterial systems that incorporate functionality over time and length scales. Biological, biomimetic, bioinspired and bio-enabled materials.
Synthetic materials intended for applications where they will interact with biological systems and the interactions inform scientific advances. Fungal, plant-based and biomineralized materials. Biomaterials with targeted properties.
The program also supports foundational materials research that provides platforms and pipelines for biotechnology developments. The program supports projects that are usually interdisciplinary. Supported projects may encompass scales from the nanoscopic to the bulk scale.
Supported projects may involve the following: Design, preparation, characterization, and modification. Studies of structure-property relationships and interfacial behavior. Combinations of experiment, theory, machine learning, and artificial intelligence to advance biomaterials development.
Supported projects may include in vitro demonstrations of biological compatibility and efficacy. However, the program can support only limited in vivo studies. Tissue engineering and drug/gene delivery projects must focus on foundational materials development and characterization.
The program does not encourage projects focused on cell biology for material design since such projects are not rooted in materials properties.

TCUP lists eight funding tracks and roughly $10.3M a year, but the October 14, 2026 deadline applies to only three of them — CHAI, Pre-TI, and TCUP Partnerships — and each carries a restriction that disqualifies most applicants. Here is the track-by-track math.
Read articleNSF 26-513 makes roughly $100 million available for up to 10 State and Regional AI Infrastructure Hubs at $4M to $12M each over five years. One award per state or multi-state region. One proposal per organization. And NSF is not buying you GPUs — it funds the coordination, the workforce and the faculty training, while the compute has to come from partners you have to already have.
Read articleAs of September 12, NSF had obligated $6.3 billion across 6,200 grants versus $8.1 billion and 8,600 last year. AHRQ has made 61 awards. Judge Allison Burroughs ordered the government to report by September 28 on whether IES will obligate $180 million before it expires. Here is what actually happens to the money on October 1 — and what it means for your FY2027 application.
