Focused Research Hubs in Theoretical Physics (FRHTP) | NSF - U.S. National Science Foundation Focused Research Hubs in Theoretical Physics (FRHTP) 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 teams to advance cutting-edge foundational research in theoretical physics, enhance the impact of the field and foster the development of the next generation of scientists in theoretical physics.
Supports teams to advance cutting-edge foundational research in theoretical physics, enhance the impact of the field and foster the development of the next generation of scientists in theoretical physics. The Focused Research Hubs in Theoretical Physics (FRHTP) program enhances significant breakthroughs at the intellectual frontiers of physics by providing resources beyond those typically available to individual investigators.
The program promotes a collaborative approach to a focused topic while supporting the preparation of scientists at the beginning of their independent research careers. Although proposals may include multidisciplinary aspects, the bulk of the proposed effort must fall within the purview of MPS Physics research programs. A successful hub proposal will demonstrate: 1.
The potential to advance science. 2. The enhancement of the development of early career scientists.
3. Creative, substantive activities aimed at enhancing education, workforce development activities in STEM and public outreach. 4.
The potential for broader impacts and benefits to society. 5. A synergy or value-added rationale that justifies a group approach.
Hubs are funded for an initial duration of five years. The proposed goals of the research topic(s) should be achieved in the first five years of the project. Hub awards will provide support only for postdoctoral researchers plus general support for hub-related activities.
Hubs are not intended to provide additional support for senior personnel (individual PIs), graduate or undergraduate students. Instead, the Hub supports postdoctoral researchers and enables collaborative interactions via support for travel, collaboration meetings and workshops. FRHTP topic and PHY program accepting proposals : None Proposals may be submitted only in the specific theoretical physics topic(s) listed above.
MPS Physics will update this page with current priority topics. MPS Physics expects to fund one hub per topic. Prospective principal investigators should contact the program when new topics are announced to confirm that their proposal's focus and budget are appropriate for the program .

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.
