CAREER: Processing of Materials to Control Micro- and Nano-Plastic Release | National Agricultural Library CAREER: Processing of Materials to Control Micro- and Nano-Plastic Release The release of potentially toxic micro- and nano-plastics from polymer products poses significant health and environmental concerns.
Substantial levels of exposure to these toxins can occur through the use of plastic containers for food and beverages, and there is particular concern when vulnerable population segments such as young children are exposed these micro- and nano-plastics.
Despite these concerns and increasing awareness of the potential harm caused by these materials, the mechanism by which micro- and nano-plastics are released from plastic products is currently unknown.
This Faculty Early Career Development (CAREER) award supports research that aims to uncover the key material and processing factors that control the release of micro- and nano-plastics, so that design of safer polymer materials and manufacturing methods becomes possible.
This project will include educational outreach programs at the elementary school level to enable opportunities for young students to connect engineering and science with real-world examples, and to attract and train the future STEM workforce. Graduate and undergraduate researchers will be involved in the educational activities, which will enrich their communication skills and foster a commitment to educating future STEM workers.
The goal of this CAREER project is to obtain a fundamental understanding of the relationship between material, processing, structure, and release behavior of micro- and nano-plastics during use of polymer products with potential for human ingestion. Currently, the potential interplay between material characteristics, processing methods, and particle release behavior is unknown, preventing the development of a predictive model.
To address this critical gap in knowledge, this research will use well-controlled materials and processing conditions, and will characterize release behavior using state-of-the-art experimental techniques to detect and identify particles. The results will provide new understanding of the basic fragmentation mechanism by which micro- and nano-plastics are generated, and will uncover the key parameters that dictate particle release.
This knowledge will open up the path towards a transformational shift to manufacturing where nano- and micro-plastic release is incorporated as a performance criterion. This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

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.

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.
