Kickstart Facility Grant Program | Ohio State Kickstart Facility Grant Program The Ohio State University Institute for Materials and Manufacturing Research invites proposals to its Kickstart Facility Grant Program. The Ohio State University Institute for Materials and Manufacturing Research (IMR) invites proposals to its Kickstart Facility Grant Program.
IMR Kickstart Facility Grants make shared campus research facilities more accessible to demonstrate materials-related research results with the goal of strengthening near- term research proposals for external support.
Preference is given to research conducted in one of IMR’s core materials research facilities, including: Center for Design and Manufacturing Excellence (CDME) Center for Electron Microscopy and Analysis (CEMAS) Nanosystems Laboratory (NSL) Nanotech West Laboratory (NTW) Semiconductor Epitaxy and Analysis Laboratory (SEAL) AFM Core Facility in Scott Laboratory W374B Request for Proposals: Kickstart Facility Grants Spring 2025 Proposal Form: Kickstart Facility Grants Spring 2025 Each grant provides $2,500 to offset the cost of user fees and access fees associated with participating facilities.
Available to non-tenured faculty (regular and research), with special consideration given to new faculty within 5 years of appointment; senior research staff with Principal Investigator status at Ohio State; and postdoctoral researchers who wish to perform research independent of their current advisor, as a path towards a future independent academic career.
This is an excellent training opportunity for post-candidacy graduate students, fellows, and postdoctoral fellows to co-author proposals, and we encourage faculty to engage their students and staff in their proposal development.
To support research aligned with one or more of IMR’s Signature Areas and Strategic Themes Request for Proposals Release: Tuesday, April 8, 2025 Submission Deadline: Friday, May 9, 2025 at 5:00 PM Submit your application as an email attachment in PDF format to Joanna Gardner at gardner. 306@osu.

The Robotics Grant Program is a grant from the Alabama State Department of Education (ALSDE) that funds school-based robotics programs for elementary, middle, and high school students. Awarded through a competitive application process, the program provides up to $3,500 to eligible local education agencies (LEAs) in Alabama. Applicants must be public school systems submitting on behalf of schools with K–12 students. The grant supports the purchase of robotics equipment and program development aligned with AMSTI guidelines. Applications are submitted online through the AMSTI Robotics Grant portal. The Fiscal Year 2026 application deadline was September 30, 2025. Questions should be directed to robotics@amsti.org. The program is managed by the Alabama State Department of Education under State Superintendent Eric G. Mackey.
The FY2026 federal funding map has tilted hard toward AI, critical minerals, energy, advanced manufacturing, and workforce development — while a new layer of political review asks whether each award advances administration priorities. Here is a strategic map of where the money is moving, and how to position a proposal for the new alignment screen without distorting the work.
Read articleBEAD put tens of billions into the ground, but there aren't enough fiber technicians to install it. In 2026, states are opening a second funding stream — workforce grants for community colleges, nonprofits, and training providers. Here is where the money is, who can win it, and how to position a broadband-training proposal.
Read articleNIH's June 1 omnibus reset added Direct-to-Phase II to the STTR program for the first time. The change compresses university spinouts' funding timeline from three years to fifteen months, but the 30% research-institution subaward, feasibility-evidence rules, and IP licensing mechanics are not yet sorted at most universities.
