National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Electrical, Communications and Cyber Systems (ECCS) Grant Writing Tips

Engineering Got $310 Million and the Only Three NSF Core Solicitations With No Proposal Cap At All. It Has Also Been Living Without Deadlines Since 2018 — and the Data on What That Does Is Not What You Think.

NSF 26-514, 26-515 and 26-518 put $310 million and up to 850 awards on rolling submission with zero per-PI limits, while chemistry rations two proposals a year and materials rations one. The Engineering directorate ran this experiment eight years ago. When NSF tried it in Earth Sciences, proposal volume fell 59 percent. Here is what that history predicts, and how to use a directorate that is not counting your submissions.

NSF Renamed Its 25-Year Cybersecurity Scholarship Program 'CyberAI.' The First July 21 Deadline Under the New Mandate Tells You Where the Federal Workforce Pipeline Is Heading.

NSF 26-503 replaces the long-running CyberCorps Scholarship for Service with CyberAICorps — a dual-authorized program written against two statutes that explicitly fuses AI competency into the federal cybersecurity workforce pipeline. The July 21, 2026 deadline is the first chance to compete under the new framework, and the $2.5M Scholarship Track and $500K Innovation Track each have constraints that will determine which institutions get a foothold.
