Two center awards, jointly funded by NSF and EPA, focus on the Environmental Implications of Nanotechnology (CEIN). Both centers will study how diverse types of nanomaterials - natural, manufactured, and those produced incidentally by human activities - interact with the environment and with living systems.
Their challenge is to integrate nanoscale materials science and engineering with molecular, cellular, organismal, and ecological biology, and with ecosystem science to assess existing and future concerns surrounding the environmental implications of nanomaterials.
The University of California Center for Environmental Implications of Nanotechnology (UCCEIN) , located in Los Angeles, will establish a library of engineered nanomaterials and characterize their impact on a range of cellular life forms, organisms and plants in terrestrial, fresh water and sea water environments.
UCCEIN will develop high throughput screening approaches and computerized learning technology to provide stratified risk ranking that can be used in a variety of ways by the academic community, industry, the public and regulating agencies.
The Center for the Environmental Implications of NanoTechnology (CEINT) , located at Duke University, will study mechanisms that control nanomaterial transport, transformation, and fate in the environment, with a focus on the biogeochemistry of nanomaterials, and their environmental toxicology at the ecosystem scale.
CEINT will synthesize this information into a rigorous risk assessment framework to model the dynamic interactions of nanomaterials with the environment, and address life cycle considerations that reflect uncertainties in the current state of the science.
Both centers will emphasize interdisciplinary research training for undergraduate and graduate students and postdoctoral fellows, and will be active in outreach by translating research results into risk assessment and mitigation strategies useful in the development of nanotechnology. The extensive integration of research, education, and outreach serves as a model for successful centers activities.
CEIN fulfills a critical national need to enhance our understanding of the environmental hazards of nanomaterials, and eventually to provide basic information leading to the safe design of future nanomaterials that can improve environment protection. It strategically fills a gap in current research of this developing scientific field.

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.
TCUP 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.
Read articleNSF 26-513 makes roughly $100 million available for up to 10 State and Regional AI Infrastructure Hubs at $4M to $12M each over five years. One award per state or multi-state region. One proposal per organization. And NSF is not buying you GPUs — it funds the coordination, the workforce and the faculty training, while the compute has to come from partners you have to already have.
Read articleAs of September 12, NSF had obligated $6.3 billion across 6,200 grants versus $8.1 billion and 8,600 last year. AHRQ has made 61 awards. Judge Allison Burroughs ordered the government to report by September 28 on whether IES will obligate $180 million before it expires. Here is what actually happens to the money on October 1 — and what it means for your FY2027 application.
