Ceramics (CER) | 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 ceramics, glass-ceramics, inorganic glasses, ceramic-based composites and inorganic carbon-based materials to develop predictive capabilities for these materials.
Supports research and education on ceramics, glass-ceramics, inorganic glasses, ceramic-based composites and inorganic carbon-based materials to develop predictive capabilities for these materials. The Ceramics program supports research that increases foundational understanding of the synthesis, processing, microstructure, properties and performance of ceramic materials and their composites.
The program also supports research that develops capabilities to accurately predict those things. Research proposals that seek to discover or create new ceramic materials are welcome. Proposed efforts to develop new techniques or novel approaches to enable such discoveries are encouraged.
The program focuses on experimental research that leverages a variety of characterization tools and interrogation modalities. While the program supports synergistic use of theory, computation, data analytics and/or machine learning, such techniques should play a supporting role and not be the primary focus of proposed projects. Proposed computational and theoretical activities should be equal in terms of time, effort and budget.
Broadly, the program supports foundational scientific research in ceramic materials including, but not limited to: Thin films (e.g., oxides, carbides, nitrides and borides) Bulk materials (e.g., glass-ceramics and inorganic glasses) More complex forms (e.g., ceramic-based composites and inorganic carbon-based materials) More specifically, the program supports topics including, but not limited to: Nucleation and growth of thin films Phase transformations and equilibria Interfaces and grain boundary characterization Proposals involving collaboration with industry are welcome, including Grant Opportunities for Academic Liaison with Industry (GOALI) proposals .
Such proposals should include the prefix "GOALI" in the proposal's title. Proposals should clearly emphasize the contributions to foundational materials science using experiments as the primary approach.
Principal investigators (PIs) should include all anticipated expenses (e.g., broader impacts activities, research experiences for undergraduates, equipment, etc.) in the initial proposal, rather than planning for or seeking supplemental funding requests at a later time.
Prior to submitting a proposal, PIs should discuss intended chemical nanosynthesis efforts with both the Solid State Materials Chemistry program directors and/or the Macromolecular, Supramolecular, and Nanochemistry program directors.
Similarly, PIs submitting proposals focused entirely or partly on catalysis should contact the Chemical Catalysis program, while those focused on ceramics for biological applications or environments should consult the Biomaterials program before submitting.
The program works closely with other programs in the NSF Directorate for Mathematical and Physical Sciences and other NSF directorates to accommodate the multidisciplinary nature of submitted proposals. NSF may transfer or jointly review such proposals with other programs. Generally, NSF will notify PIs about such transfers before they happen.

MGPV Travel Grant is sponsored by Geological Society of America (GSA), Mineralogy, Geochemistry, Petrology, Volcanology Division. MGPV Travel grants support student travel to the annual GSA meeting. Applications are restricted to active graduate or undergraduate students who are the presenting authors of an accepted abstract at the annual GSA meeting.
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.
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.
