Applicants must be current full-time faculty at an accredited academic institution that awards research degrees to PhD students or at a reputed research institute. Applicants must be the Principal Investigator on any resulting award. The program committee will make the grant decision based on the proposal quality and potential impacts to the research and open source community.
An emphasis should be placed on open collaboration and community benefit. Therefore, we expect successful proposals to produce outcomes that contribute to the broader Confidential Computing ecosystem.
This includes, but is not limited to, the publication of research findings in a public forum, the release of open source code under a permissive license, and the contribution of new features or improvements to existing open-source projects within the Confidential Computing Consortium.
Awardees will be encouraged to present their work at relevant industry conferences and to engage with the community to ensure their research has a lasting and positive impact. If needed, members of the Confidential Computing Consortium Technical Advisory Council can offer mentorship, consultation and advice on the research. Payment will be made to the proposer’s host university as an unrestricted gift.
Because of its nature, salary/headcount could be included as part of the budget presented for the RFP. Since the award/gift is paid to the university, they will be able to allocate the funds to that winning project and have the freedom to use as they need. Award funds can be used to cover a researcher’s salary.
Typically research funds ideally cover graduate or post-graduate students’ employment/tuition and other research costs (e.g., equipment, laptops, incidental costs). By submitting a proposal, you are authorizing the Confidential Computing Consortium to evaluate the proposal for a potential award, and you agree to the terms herein.
You agree and acknowledge that personal data submitted with the proposal, including name, mailing address, phone number, and email address of you and other named researchers in the proposal may be collected, processed, stored and otherwise used by the Confidential Computing Consortium for the purposes of evaluating the contents of the proposal.

CDC-RFA-EH-27-0074 posted as a forecast September 22, 2026: 6 expected awards at $750,000 to $900,000. That is flat funding against the expiring cycle — and the only proven way in is the consortium model Arizona used to bring three states under one award.
Read articleROSES-2025 has been amended 69 times and now runs to December 31, 2026 — but the 'no due date' and flexible program elements that carried the community through the gap close August 31. Two rules changed mid-cycle that most proposers have not read: a generative-AI citation requirement and a $0.09-per-SBU charge for NASA high-end computing that must appear in your Earth Science budget.
Read articleNSF 26-524 commits $30 million over FY2027 and FY2028 to wave-based computing — up to $2 million for four-year multidisciplinary awards, $100,000 to $400,000 for two-year exploratory ones. Eleven of the twelve August NOFOs consolidated existing programs. This one funds something NSF has never funded. Here are the three required thrusts, the tenure-track restriction, the one-proposal-per-person rule, and the spin-wave exclusion that disqualifies an entire subfield.
