Hydrologic Sciences is a research grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) that supports fundamental research on water beneath and on the Earth's surface, including the relationships of water with material and living components of the environment.
The program is a disciplinary program within NSF's Division of Earth Sciences, with a focus on continental water processes at all scales — from small-scale hillslope hydrology to watershed and continental systems. Supported research includes hydrologic processes, water fluxes, groundwater dynamics, and water interactions with ecosystems. Eligible applicants include faculty and research scientists at U.S. colleges and universities.

Supports research on water beneath and on the Earth’s surface and relationships of water with material and living components of the environment, with a focus on hydrologic processes and fluxes of water. The Hydrologic Sciences Program is a disciplinary program within the Division of Earth Sciences.
Hydrologic science has a distinct focus on continental water processes at all scales, and the program supports research with a primary focus on these processes. The program supports fundamental research about water on and beneath the Earth’s surface, as well as relationships of water with material and living components of the environment.
A major focus is the study of hydrologic processes (e.g., rainfall and runoff; infiltration and subsurface flow; evaporation and transpiration), as well as fluxes of water (e.g. in soils, aquifers, and streams).
Many projects involve the study of hydrologic transport (e.g., of dissolved solutes, sediment), coupling of hydrological processes with other systems (e.g., ecosystem processes, geochemical cycles, food and energy systems, socio-ecological systems), or hydrologic responses to change (e.g., changes in land use, climate, or watershed management). Observational, experimental, theoretical, and modeling approaches are supported.

Proposers to Earth Science using the NASA Center for Climate Simulation high-end computing facility must include specific budget details.
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.

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.
