Read the following blog for more information or write to us if you have questions. Transforming our grantmaking through participatory decision making The application process consists of the following steps: The first step in applying for DFF support is completing an eligibility check. DFF offers two kinds of grant support: litigation track and pre-litigation research.
Access the eligibility check form on our online grant platform using the link at the bottom of this page. An eligibility check can be submitted at any time while a call for applications is open, but we recommend submitting your eligibility check as early in the call period as possible so you have more time to work on your application (we recommend at least 1 month if not longer before the deadline).
DFF aims to respond to eligibility checks within three working days. Please submit your eligibility check in our online grant platform (link at bottom of page) before the given deadline in order to be considered. It will not be possible to start a new application request after the deadline.
If your request meets the eligibility criteria you will be given access to the full application form. Completed applications must be submitted through the DFF grant platform by the call for applications deadline. Any applications submitted outside of the given timeframe will not be considered.
Make sure you complete Step 1 as early as possible so that you have plenty of time for Step 2. Evaluation by Panel of Experts or Community Peer Group Applications clearly falling outside the scope of DFF’s grantmaking criteria will not go through to the next step. Applications that meet the grantmaking criteria will be fully evaluated by a group of community peers, who will collectively decide which applications to be supported.
DFF writes up a recommendation outlining the decisions of the Peer Group and sends it to the Board Grantmaking Committee for sign-off. Step 4: Decision by DFF Board The DFF Board makes the final decision on all applications. Due to the large number of applications received in relation to our available funding, many strong applications will not be approved.
In 2025, only around 20% of applications were approved. Unsuccessful applicants are welcome to apply again in the next call for applications. Application and assessment process The overall duration of the application review process is around three months from the deadline of the call for applications until the final decision by the DFF Board.
For example, if the application deadline is 1 March, you can expect a final decision in June. This estimate assumes all application materials are complete and there are no complicating factors. While DFF strives to adhere to this timing, it does not reflect any formal obligation of DFF towards applicants.

The NOURISH Autoimmunity Digital Health Challenge runs three phases to August 2028: 10 winners at $20,000, then 5 at $30,000, then 3 at $100,000. It is a prize competition, not a grant — no indirect costs, no cost reimbursement, and a rule that quietly disqualifies the obvious applicant.

The solicitation is not really about T&E. It is about the digital-twin and uncertainty-quantification middleware DoD needs for any AI-enabled combat system.
