Chemistry of Life Processes (CLP) | NSF - U.S. National Science Foundation Chemistry of Life Processes (CLP) 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 innovative chemistry research that has potential impact on the understanding of biological molecules and processes.
Supports innovative chemistry research that has potential impact on the understanding of biological molecules and processes. The Chemistry of Life Processes (CLP) program supports experimental and theoretical studies in chemistry at the interface with biology. The proposed fundamental research must be centered on chemistry; proposals must clearly outline the anticipated new chemistry knowledge.
The proposed research projects must have the potential to advance the fundamental understanding of the molecular underpinnings of life processes and must be linked directly to current, biologically relevant questions. The scope of the program is broad, reflecting the power of chemistry and diversity of biology.
Subject areas include bioorganic and bioinorganic chemistry; chemical biology; chemistry of lipids, membranes, and membrane proteins; and protein, enzyme, nucleic acid, and carbohydrate chemistry. Development of chemical methods and tools is supported when such methods have clear potential to answer specific biological questions.
Other topics of interest include but are not limited to: the development and application of bio-orthogonal chemistry for probing cellular function; biomolecular design and synthesis aimed at understanding biological function; the application of theory, computation, modeling, and simulation to molecular-scale aspects of biological systems and processes; and chemistry that underlies the function of the brain or empowers the study of the brain.
The CLP program encourages proposal submissions in the scope of the program that also fall in topical areas of especial interest for the NSF such as: Artificial Intelligence (for example, development of new AI tools and contributions to the content and quality of databases for understanding the function of biomolecules), Quantum Information Science (for example, quantum sensing and nuclear hyperpolarization methods for bioimaging with molecular-level resolution), and Biotechnology and Advanced Manufacturing (for example, enzyme-catalyzed reactions with implications for new enzyme-based products).
Proposals integrating innovative computational approaches with CLP-relevant research, such as those enabling efficient and effective data acquisition and analysis, are encouraged and should be submitted to the CLP Program through the Computational and Data Science and Engineering (CDS&E) funding opportunity.
Partnerships with industry and/or international partners in the pursuit of the research goals outlined in proposals are encouraged. The CLP 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 CLP program: Projects that are disease-related or that have drug discovery, design, or development goals. Projects addressing development of new instrumentation should be directed to the Chemical Measurement and Instrumentation (CMI) program.
Principal Investigators uncertain of the suitability of their proposals for the CLP Program and of their synergy with other funding priorities and/or programs should contact a CLP Program Officer. Proposals to the CLP 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 CHE Disciplinary Research Programs solicitation ( NSF 22-606 ), 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.
