The U.S. National Science Foundation Directorate for Engineering (NSF ENG) supports foundational research for electrical, communications and computing systems through the following programs: The Electronic, Photonic, Magnetic, and Quantum Devices (EPMQD) program supports foundational engineering research on novel classical and quantum devices, exploring matter’s electronic, photonic, and magnetic properties to enable new applications.
The Circuits and Systems for Communications and Sensing (CSCS) program supports foundational engineering research on classical and quantum aspects of advanced components, systems, and signal processing for communications and sensing.
The Energy, Power, Control, and Learning (EPCL) program supports foundational research on systems and control, learning, optimization, artificial intelligence, and networked multi-agent systems, and their applications, with emphasis on power and energy systems. NSF ENG anticipates a portfolio of ENG: Electrical, Communications, and Computing Systems (ECCS) awards with a range of budgets and durations.
Estimated program budget, number of awards, and average award size/duration are subject to the availability of funds. NSF ENG is particularly interested in intellectually ambitious and potentially transformative foundational research. Proposals need not promise a near-term product, deployment, or commercial outcome, nor need they address later-stage development to be competitive.

Faculty Early Career Development Program (CAREER) is sponsored by NSF - U.S. National Science Foundation, Directorate for Engineering (ENG). The CAREER Program offers the National Science Foundation's most prestigious awards in support of early-career faculty who have the potential to serve as academic role models in research and education and to lead advances in the mission of their department or organization.
Engineering (ENG): Chemical, Bioengineering, Energy, and Transport Systems (CBET) is sponsored by NSF - U.S. National Science Foundation, Directorate for Engineering (ENG). This program supports foundational engineering research that involves the transformation and/or transport of matter and energy by chemical, thermal, or mechanical means. It integrates physical, chemical, and biological sciences in foundational engineering discoveries.
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 Trailblazer Engineering Impact Award (NSF 26-502) gives a single principal investigator up to $3 million over three years to pursue a high-risk, field-defining project. The July 24 full-proposal deadline is invitation-only — the real contest happened months earlier. Here is how the three-stage structure works, who is eligible, why the no-co-PI rule is the point, and how to position for the next cycle.
Read articleRET Sites close October 14, 2026 — about nine awards from $5.8 million, capped at $600,000 over three years, with a PI eligibility rule that disqualifies most of the people who write outreach proposals. RET Supplements reach the same money for $15,000 a teacher and are not a competition.
