Ecosystem Science (ES) | NSF - U.S. National Science Foundation Core Research in Biological Sciences (BIO Core) Important information for proposers and award recipients All proposals must be submitted in accordance with the requirements specified in the funding opportunity and in the Proposal & Award Policies & Procedures Guide (PAPPG) and its supplements .
All NSF grants and cooperative agreements are subject to the applicable set of NSF award terms and conditions . NSF has updated its research security policies for NSF funded projects. Supports research on ecosystem structure and function across a range of spatial and temporal scales and the full spectrum of environmental change.
Supports research on ecosystem structure and function across a range of spatial and temporal scales and the full spectrum of environmental change.
NSF BIO supports investigations of ecosystem structure and function across spatial and temporal (including paleo) scales to advance understanding of 1) material and energy fluxes and transformations within and among ecosystems; 2) roles and relationships of ecosystem components in whole-system structure and function; 3) ecosystem dynamics, resilience, and trajectories of ecosystem change; and 4) macrosystem biological processes, including interactions at regional to continental scales.
Research is supported in a variety of biome types, including terrestrial, freshwater, wetland/coastal, and human-dominated environments. Proposals may focus on areas such as biogeochemical cycling and elemental budgets; primary and secondary productivity; roles of species in ecosystem functioning; stoichiometric relationships; energy and gas fluxes; and landscape dynamics.
Proposals may also address the cycling of non-nutrient elements, but those that focus on ecotoxicology, or lack a clear link to ecosystem processes, will not be considered. Ecosystem-oriented proposals with pelagic marine, deep ocean, or Laurentian Great Lakes study sites should be submitted to the Directorate for Geosciences.
Proposals that span other disciplines, including social and behavioral sciences, are welcome and may be co-reviewed at the discretion of NSF. Projects may be based on data reuse and synthesis, modeling, observational studies, and/or manipulative experiments and they may take place in field, mesocosm, computational, and laboratory settings. Use of NEON and LTER data and resources are encouraged.
Proposals, whether hypothesis- or discovery-driven, should have a strong theoretical or conceptual foundation. Projects that aim to develop new techniques can be supported, but only when there is clear potential for a major advance in ecosystem science.

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.
NSF 26-517 replaces the core solicitations of Environmental Biology, Integrative Organismal Systems and Molecular and Cellular Biosciences with a single directorate-wide opportunity. Proposals are accepted anytime, sorted centrally by NSF rather than targeted by the PI, and reorganized under three inquiry areas. Here is what the $280 million actually buys, why the loss of program targeting cuts both ways, and what to do before the September 16 webinar.
Read articleNSF 26-519 puts $150 million and 300 chemistry awards on a rolling submission schedule, then caps each individual at two proposals per year counting PI, co-PI and senior/key personnel roles. Materials caps at one. Physics, math, astronomy, geosciences and biology cap at none. Here is the full quota map across all seven new core solicitations, why the senior-personnel clause is the trap, and how to allocate a quota you did not know you had.
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.
