collaborative grants – RI NSF EPSCoR Collaborative Research Grants Advancing research capacity and competitiveness across Rhode Island View a complete list of past grants awarded for projects focusing on marine science and engineering across the state.
The Collaborative Research Grant program , jointly organized by RI Commerce, RI Science and Technology Advisory Council, and RI NSF EPSCoR, provides funding to projects that focus on building research capacity across institutions and advancing the competitiveness of RI researchers to secure additional funding.
Grants are also awarded to projects that contribute to current or future economic development of the state through technology development and commercialization or contribute to infrastructure development that significantly advances the competitiveness of scientists in Rhode Island to secure additional funding. A total of $500,000 in competitive funding is available in this round.
Eligible projects for the 2026 Call for Proposals are those that enhance RI’s competitiveness in ocean technology and coastal sciences. Proposals aimed at accelerating discoveries that catalyze the transition to commercialization and user application of novel advances in ocean sensors, ecosystem modeling, and marine science are encouraged.
Proposals addressing the following topics are also encouraged, including those that support the organizational infrastructure for science teams managing or competing for NSF EPSCoR E-RISE proposals.
Creating novel approaches to understand the quantity, composition, and impact of nano and/or microplastics in complex marine environments, as well as developing innovative approaches to: Model the fate and transport of nano and microplastics within the Narragansett Bay ecosystem Elucidate trophic-level pathways and/or human impacts of plastic pollution across Rhode Island’s coastal aquatic ecosystems.
Collecting or curation of new and historical observations of Rhode Island’s waterways, including the development of visualizations of regional data suitable for websites, dashboards, and/or museums. Advancement of sediment transport models that simulate erosion-accretion. Development of extreme weather event models and concurrent atmospheric transport models.

Economics of AI Fellowship is sponsored by Stripe. The fellowship supports foundational academic research in the economics of AI, an area currently understudied despite rapid technical progress in artificial intelligence. Fellows receive a baseline grant, opportunities to attend conferences with leading economists and technologists, and potential access to unique data via Stripe and its customers.
The UKRI Policy Fellowships 2025, funded by the Economic and Social Research Council, offer 18-month placements for academics to co-design research with UK government and What Works Network host organizations. Awards range from £180,000 to £280,000 and support three fellowship tracks: core policy fellows, Natural Hazards and Resilience policy fellows, and What Works Innovation fellows. Applicants must hold a PhD or equivalent research experience, be based at a UKRI-eligible UK organization, and possess relevant subject matter or methodological expertise. Government-hosted positions target early to mid-career academics, while What Works fellowships welcome all career stages. Fellows work directly with policymakers to bridge academic research and policy development on pressing national and global challenges. The application deadline is July 15, 2025.
On July 22, 2026 the White House committed more than $5 billion to expand the Genesis Mission — the government-wide 'AI for science' effort — announcing 278 first projects and 14 National Science and Technology Challenges spanning health, energy, infrastructure, manufacturing, and national security. More than 15 federal agencies are contributing awards, datasets, and facilities. Here is how the pieces fit, why it reorganizes the science-funding map, and how to position for the awards flowing out of it.
Read articleOn July 22, 2026 the White House announced more than $5 billion and 15-plus federal agencies behind the Genesis Mission — a national effort to point AI at the hardest problems in science. Here is what the mission actually funds, how its five National Science and Technology Challenges map to real solicitations already opening, and how a research team or small business should position for the money flowing out of it.
