Funding Opportunities for Engineering Research to Achieve Net-Zero Climate Goals by 2050 is sponsored by National Science Foundation (NSF) Directorate for Engineering. The NSF Directorate for Engineering encourages research and education proposals related to net-zero goals, including resilient and sustainable energy technologies, innovation in energy technology (design, prototyping, testing, piloting), and research infrastructure.
This can include grid technologies and practices that support increasing levels of carbon-free power generation and demand.

NSF'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.

RET Supplements reach the same money for $15,000 a teacher and are not a competition.
Read articleNSF 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.
