Chemical Theory, Models, and Computational Methods (CTMC) | NSF - U.S. National Science Foundation Chemical Theory, Models, and Computational Methods (CTMC) 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 the discovery and development of theoretical and computational methods or models to address a range of fundamental chemical challenges, with emphasis on emerging areas of chemical research.

The Chemical Theory, Models, and Computational Methods (CTMC) program supports the discovery and development of theoretical and computational methods or models to address a range of fundamental chemical challenges, with emphasis on emerging areas of chemical research.
Areas of interest include, but are not limited to, electronic structure, quantum reaction dynamics, theoretical/computational spectroscopy, statistical mechanics, molecular dynamics and simulation, bio-simulation, and development of AI-based approaches including machine learning.
Proposals dealing with methods relevant to chemistry domains that have a strong history of application of theory and computation should involve innovations that substantially broaden their applicability. Collaborative proposals that combine forefront advances in both CTMC and other disciplinary research programs in MPS-Chemistry are encouraged.
The CTMC program also encourages proposal submissions in the following topical areas: Chemistry-oriented proposals on quantum information science (QIS) ranging from fundamentals to quantum computing, sensing, and communication are encouraged.
The CTMC Program encourages the integration of innovative software development with methodological and algorithmic development, especially computational approaches that allow efficient utilization of emerging computer architectures. Such Computational and Data Science and Engineering (CDS&E) proposals should be submitted to the CTMC Program directly.
Grant Opportunities for Academic Liaison with Industry (GOALI) proposals, where such advances are connected directly to industrial considerations, are also encouraged. The CTMC program encourages PIs to monitor current funding priorities identified by the Foundation and to highlight relevant synergies in their project summaries and project descriptions.
Research topics that are not of interest to the CTMC program: Projects that utilize established theoretical and modeling approaches to solve problems in chemistry without significant theoretical or methodological development, or that focus on the development of biology or materials design, may be more appropriate for other programs in either MPS-Chemistry or in other NSF Directorates.
Principal Investigators unsure of program fit for their projects should send a single email, copied to all potentially relevant programs, for feedback and to schedule further discussion if warranted. Proposals to the CTMC program are welcome at any time, starting September 1, 2026.
All proposals submitted to this program (including individual and collaborative proposals, GOALIs) must be submitted to the MPS Chemistry Research Programs Notice of Funding Opportunity ( NSF 26-519 ), except for: RUI proposals must be submitted to the Facilitating Research at Predominantly Undergraduate Institutions: (RUI and ROA-PUI) program .
Proposals submitted in response to another solicitation should follow the solicitation guidelines (e.g., CAREER ). Early-concept Grants for Exploratory Research (EAGER), Rapid Response Research (RAPID), or Research Advanced by Interdisciplinary Science and Engineering (RAISE) proposals must be discussed with a program officer before submission and then should only be submitted as instructed.
MPS Chemistry occasionally supports forward-looking workshops to inform future research needs and directions relevant to chemical science. We are not generally able to support research symposia, including those at either special or recurring meetings and conferences. Workshop proposals must be discussed with a program officer before submission.

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.
NSF 26-519 puts $150 million and 300 chemistry awards on a rolling submission schedule, then caps each individual at two proposals per year counting PI, co-PI and senior/key personnel roles. Materials caps at one. Physics, math, astronomy, geosciences and biology cap at none. Here is the full quota map across all seven new core solicitations, why the senior-personnel clause is the trap, and how to allocate a quota you did not know you had.
Read articleTCUP 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.
