Broad Agency Announcements | NSF - U.S. National Science Foundation Broad Agency Announcements A new way to fund your research at NSF The U.S. National Science Foundation has started issuing broad agency announcements, or BAAs, as a new form of funding opportunity.
By using BAAs, NSF is seeking to engage new communities of scientists and engineers, including those who may be working beyond institutions of higher education, such as in industry, nonprofits and other organizations. What is a broad agency announcement? A BAA is a type of funding opportunity used by NSF to invite proposals for research and education across science and engineering.
At NSF, BAAs are broad in their scope, focusing on advancing science and increasing knowledge instead of the development of specific products. NSF can choose to fund proposals as grants, cooperative agreements, contracts or other arrangements; each BAA will specify the award type and who can apply based on their organization. When NSF releases a new BAA, it appears on SAM.
gov . A BAA provides information on the funding opportunity and instructions on how to apply. Proposals submitted in response to a BAA undergo the same rigorous merit review process as other proposals to NSF.
Supporting innovation at speed and scale Expanding NSF opportunities to new partners Funding announcements are available to a broad set of stakeholders, including scientists and engineers in academia; industry; nonprofits; state, local and tribal governments; civil society; and communities of practice. More flexible funding arrangements Alternative funding arrangements like contracts or other arrangements offer broader opportunities.
A simpler way to apply for funding A streamlined application and submission system together make it easier to apply to NSF, while reducing administrative burden. When is NSF using broad agency announcements? Credit: National Science Foundation NSF is currently piloting the use of BAAs as an alternative approach to fund use-inspired research and innovation.

NSF is also starting to use BAAs to provide funding through contracts or other types of funding arrangements — reducing the administrative burden on organizations that do not normally seek out federal assistance grants.

RET Sites close October 14, 2026 — about nine awards from $5.8 million, capped at $600,000 over three years, with a PI eligibility rule that disqualifies most of the people who write outreach proposals. RET Supplements reach the same money for $15,000 a teacher and are not a competition.
Read articleOn August 26, 2026, NSF named the STC class of 2026: TEMPEST at Michigan State, GENIE at Northwestern, and a human-robot co-adaptation center at UT Austin. $90 million total, $6 million a year each. The 2023 class was four centers and $120 million. The award size is intact; the shelf space shrank 25 percent — and that is the number that should reshape how you plan a center proposal.
Read articleNSF just committed $380 million to build a national network of AI-programmable, remotely operated laboratories — the Programmable Cloud Laboratories Test Bed (NSF 25-541), the agency's flagship contribution to the Genesis Mission. Twenty nodes, four years, self-driving experiments in chemistry, biology and materials. Here is what it funds, who is eligible, why the 'existing facilities only' rule matters, and how researchers and companies should position for what comes next.
