## Overview of Capital Grants Capital grants are made available through the Governor's Capital Investment Plan and are appropriated to the Department of Early Education and Care (EEC). The Healey-Driscoll Administration released its updated Capital Investment Plan (CIP) for Fiscal Years 2026–2030, totaling $16. 6 billion.
The Governor has allocated $11. 3 million annually as capital investments for child care programs across the state. EEC partners with the**Community Economic Development Assistance Corporation (CEDAC)**and MassDevelopment, to award grants to EEC-licensed large group early education, out of school time programs and Family Child Care programs.
The Capital grants provide matching funds that leverage private investment. Since 2013, the capital grant program has awarded over $65 million to help fund over 125 projects. Funding supports renovations and construction projects to expand capacity and improve the quality and accessibility of learning environments for children, ensuring they have safe, inclusive, and developmentally appropriate spaces to learn, play and grow.
The grant allows for a variety of improvements including, but not limited to, modifications to improve indoor air quality, emergency repairs such as roof replacement or upgrading electrical or security systems, and physical environment modifications addressing accessibility or other upgrades for classrooms, outdoor areas, and more.
Previous capital projects have ranged from outdoor sensory paths to new keycard security systems to adding multiple classrooms and bathrooms at a center.

The NSF CAREER award puts a minimum of $400,000–$500,000 over five years behind a single untenured faculty member, and it is the credential that shapes a research career.

Read articlePA-27-034, PA-27-035 and PA-27-036 replace the institute-specific R25 announcements that research education programs have been built around for a decade. NCI, NIDA and NIGMS have already expired theirs early. Here is what the consolidation actually changes: an 8% indirect cost ceiling, a US-citizens-and-permanent-residents participant rule, a cooperative agreement variant that only exists on one of the three, and no clinical-trial-allowed companion anywhere.
Read articleNSF's Faculty Early Career Development Program — the CAREER award — has a July 22, 2026 deadline, a $400,000 floor, a five-year runway, and roughly 500 awards a year across every directorate. It is the most prestigious grant a pre-tenure scientist can win, and the one most often lost on the integration requirement rather than the research.
