The U.S. National Science Foundation Emerging Frontiers in Research and Innovation (EFRI) program provides critical, strategic support of fundamental discovery at the frontiers of engineering research and education. EFRI funds interdisciplinary projects to: Advance fundamental or applied research across all science and engineering disciplines.
Catalyze new industries or capabilities that enable U.S. leadership in engineering and cutting-edge technologies. Address pressing national and societal challenges in innovative ways. Explore EFRI research awards The EFRI program invests in proposals with potentially transformative ideas that represent an opportunity for a significant shift in fundamental engineering knowledge with strong potential for societal impacts.
The program supports research areas that do not fit within the scope of an existing NSF program and are often at the intersection of multiple fields. The program seeks proposals that: Hold the potential for transformative outcomes benefiting society. Address a national need or grand societal challenge.
Involve a multi- or interdisciplinary research approach. Include a community poised to respond. Offer a clear leadership role for engineering.
The EFRI program relies on continual input from the engineering community to help identify, evaluate and prioritize emerging topic areas. Opportunities for input include: Advisory committee meetings. NSF committees of visitors.
Periodic calls for EFRI topic ideas. EFRI: Biocomputing through EnGINeering Organoid Intelligence (BEGIN OI) Supports foundational and transformative research to advance the design, engineering and fabrication of organoid systems that are capable of processing information dynamically while interfacing with nonliving systems.
According to the current listing, eligibility includes: Investigators from academic institutions and other organizations that conduct scientific research and education. The program relies on input from the engineering community for identifying emerging topic areas. Confirm the full requirements in the official notice before applying.

MGPV Travel Grant is sponsored by Geological Society of America (GSA), Mineralogy, Geochemistry, Petrology, Volcanology Division. MGPV Travel grants support student travel to the annual GSA meeting. Applications are restricted to active graduate or undergraduate students who are the presenting authors of an accepted abstract at the annual GSA meeting.
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.
NSF 26-514, 26-515 and 26-518 put $310 million and up to 850 awards on rolling submission with zero per-PI limits, while chemistry rations two proposals a year and materials rations one. The Engineering directorate ran this experiment eight years ago. When NSF tried it in Earth Sciences, proposal volume fell 59 percent. Here is what that history predicts, and how to use a directorate that is not counting your submissions.
Read articleNSF's CREST-RISE program builds STEM doctoral capacity at minority-serving institutions that are also 'emerging research institutions' — schools with under $50 million in annual research expenditures. Awards run up to about $2 million against a roughly $6 million program budget, with three distinct tracks and an August 7, 2026 deadline. Here is who actually qualifies, how the three tracks differ, and why the emerging-research-institution threshold is the eligibility line that decides everything.
Read articleTCUP lists eight funding tracks and roughly $10.3M a year, but the October 14, 2026 deadline applies to only three of them — CHAI, Pre-TI, and TCUP Partnerships — and each carries a restriction that disqualifies most applicants. Here is the track-by-track math.
