Engineering Information Foundation EiF makes grants to improve worldwide engineering education and practice. Our grants support developmental, instructional, and training initiatives in two program areas, through enhanced communication skills and increasing women in engineering.
Enhancing Communication Skills in Engineering We want to assist engineering faculty in transmitting the necessary listening, written, verbal, visual, and graphic communication skills that their students need to be successful engineers. Grants in this program cannot exceed $25,000 US dollars.
Strategy #1 - EiF is interested in increasing women in engineering majors primarily through programs to encourage Middle School Girls in Engineering conducted by engineering educators. By high school, it is too late to start a STEM path, however, EiF is interested in grants that will funnel high school girls with good STEM backgrounds specifically to engineering majors. Grants in this program cannot exceed $25,000 US dollars.
Strategy #2- EiF is interested in programs that will support women currently enrolled in engineering majors to help them successfully reach graduation. Research has shown that the more women are engaged in engineering school, the more likely they are to graduate and become working engineers. Female students who participate in Engineers Without Borders EWB activities fall into this category.
To support these types of engagement opportunities for women, EiF created the Women in Engineering - Engineers Without Borders (EWB ) Chapter Diversity Funding Pro gram . EiF will support EWB teams that are all-female, or a majority female. The project leader of the team MUST be female.
Under this program, EiF will fund a maximum of 2 grants per year of $5,000 each (only) to EWB chapters. EiF will only accept one application per institution per grant cycle. Grant submission deadlines are February 28 and August 31.
All proposals are reviewed by EiF’s Board of Directors in April and October. Decisions on applications will generally be made by the end of May and November, following the board meeting.

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.

All four open June 24 and close July 22, 2026. Here is what each topic is really asking for, and which small businesses are positioned to win.
Read articleDARPA's Defense Sciences Office and Biological Technologies Office pre-released four SBIR XL topics on June 3 with proposals open June 24 and due July 22. Read the four as a single coordinated bet on the deployed soldier — sensing, recovery, power, and pathogen defense — and the strategy for filing across the quartet becomes clear.
