Physics | NSF - U.S. National Science Foundation Understanding the fundamental workings of the universe — from tiny quantum particles to the largest galaxies. View image credit & caption We support explorations of matter, energy and time and how they interact to shape the physical world.
NSF support for physics research has led to one pivotal achievement after another, from the breathtaking first image of a black hole to discovering how a tissue's microscopic geometry affects the spread of cancer.
Numerous physicists whose careers were launched or supported by NSF have gone on to win the Nobel Prize for groundbreaking discoveries, such as revealing the strange nature of quantum entanglement and the first detection of gravitational waves rippling across space-time. Directorate for Mathematical and Physical Sciences We support fundamental and applied research across all areas of physics.
Our programs focus on areas such as: We support research on the interaction of matter and energy at extremely small scales — where particles can behave like waves, and waves like particles. Particle and nuclear physics We support research on the tiny fundamental particles that form matter and the way they interact to form the physical world.
Atomic, molecular and optical physics We support research on atoms and molecules and how they interact with light. We support research on plasma: the fundamental state of matter thought to make up 99% of the visible universe. We support research on the general theory of relativity and the nature of space and time.
Physics of living systems We support research on the fundamental physical building blocks and how they interact to form the diversity of life. We support research on the origin, evolution and fate of the universe. Learn more about NSF support for physics We support research centers, user facilities, laboratories and instruments that accelerate discovery, spark the imaginations of students and address societal challenges.
Our facilities include: IceCube Neutrino Observatory NSF's IceCube Neutrino Observatory is an enormous and unusual telescope: a grid of thousands of sensors embedded in a cubic kilometer of ice deep in the Antarctic ice sheet that allows it to detect tiny, elusive neutrinos — the least understood particles in the Standard Model of particle physics.
NSF supports two particle physics detectors — ATLAS and CMS — at the Large Hadron Collider in Switzerland. LHC is the most powerful particle accelerator ever constructed, making it the premier facility in the world for research in elementary particle physics. Learn more about the Large Hadron Collider Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory LIGO is the most sophisticated detector of its kind ever created.
In 2015, mere days after its advanced instruments were switched on, LIGO detected gravitational waves for the first time, confirming a major prediction of Albert Einstein's 1915 general theory of relativity.

Economics of AI Fellowship is sponsored by Stripe. The fellowship supports foundational academic research in the economics of AI, an area currently understudied despite rapid technical progress in artificial intelligence. Fellows receive a baseline grant, opportunities to attend conferences with leading economists and technologists, and potential access to unique data via Stripe and its customers.
The UKRI Policy Fellowships 2025, funded by the Economic and Social Research Council, offer 18-month placements for academics to co-design research with UK government and What Works Network host organizations. Awards range from £180,000 to £280,000 and support three fellowship tracks: core policy fellows, Natural Hazards and Resilience policy fellows, and What Works Innovation fellows. Applicants must hold a PhD or equivalent research experience, be based at a UKRI-eligible UK organization, and possess relevant subject matter or methodological expertise. Government-hosted positions target early to mid-career academics, while What Works fellowships welcome all career stages. Fellows work directly with policymakers to bridge academic research and policy development on pressing national and global challenges. The application deadline is July 15, 2025.
Announced August 4, 2026, NSF 26-513 will fund up to 10 State and Regional AI Infrastructure Hubs at $4-12M each over five years. It is a cooperative-agreement, public-private consortium model designed to put frontier compute in the hands of researchers outside the elite institutions. Here is how the program is structured, who can lead, and how to build a competitive consortium before the November 4 deadline.
Read articleThe RFI closed June 22. Now the forum is standing up. AI Forge is a jointly governed, university-led venture funding interpretability, control, and adversarial robustness in one-year Project Ventures — here's how the 15 challenges, the CAISI tie, and the nonprofit administrator reshape who gets funded.
Read articleIn January 2026, DOE Policy Flash PF-2026-30 wiped out every 15% and 10% indirect cost cap the administration had imposed in 2025 — because H.R. 6938 ordered it to. The same law froze indirect policy at NSF, Commerce and NASA. But OMB's sweeping new grants rule quietly reopens the fight through the back door. Here is what changed, what money recipients can claw back, and how to protect your indirect recovery going forward.
