The Cottrell Scholar Regional Meeting Awards is a grant from the Research Corporation for Science Advancement (RCSA) that funds one-day regional scientific meetings hosted by Cottrell Scholars and Holland Awardees.
Awards of $5,000 support up to four meetings per year at host institutions, covering research or education themes designed to appeal broadly to the Cottrell Scholar community, postdoctoral fellows, and students from nearby institutions. Priority is given to meetings at primarily undergraduate institutions and research universities, with special consideration for cross-institutional diversity.
Outreach to underrepresented groups and minority-serving institutions is strongly encouraged.

Cottrell Regional Meeting Awards – Research Corporation for Science Advancement (RCSA) Cottrell Regional Meeting Awards Opportunities to discuss research, teaching, and career development are critical for maintaining a dynamic, collaborative, and inclusive Cottrell Scholar community.
To encourage these interactions, the Cottrell Scholar program has made funds available to Cottrell Scholars and Holland Awardees who wish to host one-day regional meetings at their institutions. This initiative supports up to four regional meetings annually.
Regional meeting themes in research or education are equally encouraged, provided they appeal to a broad cross-section of the Cottrell Scholar community and other participating scientists, including non-CS faculty, postdoctoral fellows, and students from a variety of nearby institutions. Outreach to members of underrepresented groups and minority-serving institutions is strongly encouraged.
To promote inclusive participation, priority will be given toward funding two annual meetings at primarily undergraduate institutions and two at research universities. Special consideration will be made for applications from primarily undergraduate institutions that focus on research, and from research universities that focus on education. Meeting attendance should be diverse and include participants from both types of institutions.
In addition to individual meetings, this initiative also accepts applications for recurrent meetings taking place in three consecutive years to strengthen community building within a region. A brief continuation application will be required for funding years two and three.
Recurrent meetings can be held in a single location or as a rotation among participating institutions within the same region with the help of on-site Cottrell Scholar and/or Holland Awardee co-organizers. Desired outcomes of regional meetings include (but are not limited to): Increased sense of community among the Cottrell Scholar community from all institutions and career stages.
Raised awareness of Cottrell Scholar opportunities among members of underrepresented groups and faculty from minority-serving institutions. Increased collaboration on educational and/or research projects between the Cottrell Scholar community and the broader scientific community, including non-academic scientists, non-CS faculty, postdoctoral fellows, and students.
Enhanced awareness and promotion of RCSA and the Cottrell Scholar program within the broader scientific community. To give organizers a few ideas about themes for meetings, here is an example of each meeting type: Regional meetings must include information about the Cottrell Scholar Program in the meeting agenda.
This can be done through: Q&A session, Cottrell Scholar panel, keynote speaker commentary, and/or participation of an RCSA representative. A budget up to $5,000 must be submitted with allowable meeting expenses: food/beverage, travel (for speakers and/or participants who would like to attend but lack travel resources), advertising, space needs (i.e., rental and supplies).
Priority for travel support should be given to members of underrepresented groups as well as faculty and postdocs at PUIs and minority serving institutions. If awarded, RCSA will work with the organizer to craft any necessary details in the award letter to help with institutional policies regarding allowable expenses.

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.
On August 26, 2026, NSF named the STC class of 2026: TEMPEST at Michigan State, GENIE at Northwestern, and a human-robot co-adaptation center at UT Austin. $90 million total, $6 million a year each. The 2023 class was four centers and $120 million. The award size is intact; the shelf space shrank 25 percent — and that is the number that should reshape how you plan a center proposal.
Read articleNIH published its 'what we heard' summary on the proposed cap on simultaneous Research Project Grants in August 2026. A four-RPG cap would free $1.3 billion for about 1,900 additional investigators; a two-RPG cap would free roughly $3.5 billion for about 5,200. Respondents overwhelmingly proposed alternatives. Here is what the comment record actually says, what NIH signaled about next steps, and how PIs and research offices should position before a policy notice lands.
Read articleThe White House committed more than $5 billion across 15+ federal agencies to the Genesis Mission, and DOE selected 278 first-cohort projects out of roughly 5,000 applications — the largest response to any DOE funding call ever. Phase I grants run $500,000 to $750,000 over 9 months; Phase II awards reach $6 million to $15 million over 3 years, with one $60 million flagship. Here is the full architecture, the eligibility math, and how to position for the next window.
