Foundations of Life (FL) | NSF - U.S. National Science Foundation Core Research in Biological Sciences (BIO Core) 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 fundamental research to understand the natural and synthetic molecules, cells and physiology that build living things.
Biological Sciences Thematic Area Supports fundamental research to understand the natural and synthetic molecules, cells and physiology that build living things. The NSF BIO Foundations of Life thematic area emphasizes fundamental research in natural and synthetic living systems – including neural systems – from diverse organisms.
This research aims to improve understanding of structure, dynamics, mechanisms, functions and regulation at multiple scales of biological organization, from biomolecules and supramolecular assemblies to cells to organisms. Research projects may address topics, such as, but not limited to the following: Principles governing biomolecular interactions, including quantum phenomena.
Biomolecular and supramolecular structure, assembly and dynamics. Cell structure and dynamics. Biomechanical principles of organismal function.
Integrated physiological processes. Neuroscience scaling from cellular to behavioral levels. Developmental mechanisms.
Epigenetics and mechanisms of gene expression. Approaches may include, but are not limited to, engineering of synthetic molecules, cells, tissues, and microbial communities to test biological principles; systems biology studies scaling from the cell to the organism; and combining experimental data with computational modeling to predict emergent properties.

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.
