NSF Future Manufacturing Program for AI-Enabled Cyber Eco and Biomanufacturing

The NSF Future Manufacturing program supports fundamental research, education, and workforce training to catalyze new manufacturing capabilities that do not exist today. The program funds convergent research across three thrust areas: Future Cyber Manufacturing incorporating AI, robotics, digital twins, and autonomous systems in production; Future Eco Manufacturing for sustainable and circular manufacturing processes; and Future Biomanufacturing for biological production systems. Research Grants of up to $3 million over four years support large cross-disciplinary teams while Seed Grants of up to $500,000 over two years support exploratory projects. All proposals must include a plan to equip students and upskill the workforce for future manufacturing. The program is managed across seven NSF directorates spanning engineering, technology, mathematical sciences, STEM education, biological sciences, computer science, and social sciences. NSF 24-525 closed May 20 2025, with the next solicitation cycle expected. Participation from minority-serving institutions, primarily undergraduate institutions, community colleges, and EPSCoR state institutions is especially encouraged. This program is distinct from the NIST AI for Resilient Manufacturing Institute which is a single large cooperative agreement and from the NSF Trailblazer Engineering Impact Award which supports individual investigators rather than convergent teams.

Future Manufacturing Research Grants of up to $3,000,000 over four years. Future Manufacturing Seed Grants of up to $500,000 over two years. Total program investment of approximately $255 million across all cycles.Deadline: Check Source

Idaho CREWS (Idaho EPSCoR) Grant Writing Tips

NSF's E-CORE Hands EPSCoR States Up to $10 Million to Build the Research Machine — Not the Research. The July 21 Deadline Rewards a Very Specific Proposal.

NSF's E-CORE program funds up to 15 awards of up to $10 million over four years to help EPSCoR jurisdictions build the infrastructure cores — administration, cyberinfrastructure, workforce pipelines — that make research competitive. It's an institution-level award, not a lab grant, and the July 21, 2026 deadline rewards a fundamentally different proposal than most NSF competitions. Here's how it works.

NSF's E-CORE Program Will Fund the Plumbing of an Entire State's Research Economy — and the Next Deadline Is July 21

NSF 25-523 (E-CORE) puts up to $10 million over four years behind jurisdiction-wide research infrastructure cores — research administration, cyberinfrastructure, STEM pathways, broadening participation — in EPSCoR-eligible states and territories. Here is how E-CORE differs from E-RISE, who can lead a proposal, and how a jurisdiction should think about the July 21 deadline.
