ENG Civil, Mechanical, and Manufacturing Innovation - Directorate for Engineering (ENG) | NSF - U.S. National Science Foundation ENG Civil, Mechanical, and Manufacturing Innovation View image credit & caption Directorate for Engineering (ENG) The U.S. National Science Foundation Directorate for Engineering (NSF ENG) invests in fundamental research and education to drive advances in manufacturing and materials, robotics and intelligent systems, and the built environment.
These investments lead to resilient civil infrastructure, spur emerging and critical technologies, and fuel the nation's economy, while advancing artificial intelligence and quantum technologies. They help prepare students across the U.S. to lead at the forefront of civil engineering, industrial engineering, materials engineering, mechanical engineering, operations engineering, structural engineering and other fields.
NSF ENG investments in civil, mechanical and manufacturing research expand what's possible through engineering and address national needs. Advances in fundamental engineering are essential for the future manufacturing of semiconductor and quantum technologies; structures that survive earthquakes, storm surge and tornadoes; and intelligent systems that assist people and improve lives.
Disaster risk and resilience Quantum information science and technology Semiconductors and microelectronics ENG invests in fundamental engineering research and education through core programs. These core programs support individual researchers, small teams and interdisciplinary research spanning multiple programs. The following ENG core programs advance civil, mechanical and manufacturing innovation.
Advanced Manufacturing, Design, and Operations Supports research on advanced manufacturing, materials and service processes; their integration into facilities, supply chains, and other systems; and the optimal operation and design of these systems.
Engineering for the Built Environment Supports research on civil infrastructure and civil infrastructure systems, from materials to global networks, for prosperous, resilient and safe communities. Foundational Research in Robotics Supports research to develop robotic systems that exhibit significant levels of both computational capability and physical complexity.
Intelligent and Interactive Dynamic Systems Supports research to advance the science and engineering of intelligent dynamic systems, including engineered systems that interact with people. Mechanics of Advanced Materials Systems Supports research on deformation and failure in engineered and biological materials or materials systems.
Centers and research infrastructure ENG supports multidisciplinary research centers that bring together cutting-edge engineering, industry expertise and workforce development to address complex national challenges. These long-term partnerships allow new ideas to be developed, integrated and tested to make real, beneficial impacts on society.
The NSF AI Institute for Advances in Optimization is revolutionizing decision-making by fusing AI and mathematical optimization into intelligent systems for agriculture, energy, healthcare, manufacturing and supply chains, and other uses.

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 26-516 folds Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences, Earth Sciences and Ocean Sciences into a single GEO Core solicitation: $110 million, 200 to 350 awards, proposals accepted anytime. Geosciences piloted no-deadline review nine years ago and knows what it does to submission volume. Here is the per-award math, the ship-time and permitting traps, and the two-year data-archive clock that now governs every award.
Read articleNSF 26-520 consolidates 14 mathematical sciences programs into $200 million and 400 to 600 awards with no per-PI cap and no deadline. Folded into it are Research Training Groups and Focused Research Groups — department-scale, cohort-building competitions that ran on a fixed annual date. Here is why removing that date is a different kind of change for training grants than for single-investigator grants, and what math departments should do before the fall.
Read articleNSF 26-522 consolidates AAG, ATI and MSIP into a single astronomical sciences solicitation with $100 million and about 140 awards. Accomplishment-based renewals will be returned without review, voluntary cost sharing is prohibited, and routine instrument upgrades are explicitly deprioritized. The new Innovations track — one to three awards a year — is where facility operations and community observing time now live.
