Background Image Alternative Text: viles and papers sitting on desk Opportunities for funding through the MRA include: Seed Grants: Support for faculty-initiated research projects Instrumentation Acquisition Awards: Acquisition of multi-user instrumentation Instrumentation Use Vouchers: Increase access to MRA affiliated resources Travel Awards: Travel to jurisdictional meetings and facilitate training The MRA will help position Mississippi as a national front-runner in science and technology through making investments throughout the state’s research community.
All academic institution granting four-year degrees are eligible to receive funding through the MRA through formal partnering with the program. Half of the funds are allocated to be awarded to emerging research institutions (ERIs), which are defined as an institution of higher education with an established undergraduate or graduate program that has less than $50,000,000 in federal research expenditures.
All budgets are to be submitted in NSF format. Budgets may include faculty salaries, postdoctoral salaries, graduate and undergraduate student salaries, fees, and tuition, supplies, contractual, equipment and travel. The budgets must include appropriate fringes on all personnel salary and must include F&A.
No subcontracts are allowed. Cost-share is not required. Proposals will be reviewed by external reviewers for scientific merit, appropriateness of budget, potential for future funding, utilization of MRA resources, and training opportunities for students.
The reviewers will provide scientific review without funding recommendations and the Mississippi EPSCoR Jurisdictional Steering Committee will make the final funding decisions. Please refer to the MRA NOFO Document (click here) for complete descriptions of each opportunity, eligibility and application requirements. Correction Notice: A previously circulated MRA NOFO document mistakenly referenced cost-share as required.
This is incorrect. No MRA funding program requires cost-share and the NOFO document has been corrected to remove this reference.

E-RISE RII: MS Nano-bio and ImmunoEngineering Consortium (NIEC) We invite proposals that align with the Mississippi Nano-bio and ImmunoEngineering Consortium (NIEC) by addressing one of the three key scientific research focus areas: RFA1, which emphasizes Biomimetic Materials to Modulate Nano-Immuno Interactions via Protein Corona Engineering; RFA2, which targets Polymer Nanocarrier Design for Efficient Nucleic Acid Complexation and Release; or RFA3, focusing on Pathogen Resilient Bioinspired Polymeric Scaffolds for Tissue Regeneration.
Alternatively, proposals that explore emerging research directions complementary to NIEC initiatives are welcome, particularly those that foster collaborative research and expand the state’s nanobio expertise. We encourage applicants to engage with the PI, Science Director, or co-leaders of the RFAs for preliminary discussions to ensure that their proposals are well-aligned with our strategic objectives prior to submission.

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.
The Energy Department's first Genesis Mission SBIR/STTR Phase I solicitation offers roughly 40 awards of up to $250,000 against $10 million — but you cannot submit a full application anymore. A four-question, 700-word pitch now decides who gets to apply, there is no Direct to Phase II path for new entrants, and the $147.4 million Phase II pool is closed to everyone who has never won a DOE award.
Read articleDARPA's FY26 SBIR/STTR Release 5 pre-released August 5, 2026, opens August 26, and closes September 23 — a four-week window. Five SBIR topics and one STTR topic span underwater 3D concrete printing, semantic ISR communications, species-agnostic cell culture, open-architecture AUVs, and algorithm-discovery tooling. Here is what each topic funds, why DARPA's new monthly cadence changes how small businesses should plan, and how to use the three-week pre-release to talk to topic authors before the clock starts.
Read articleNSF just committed $380 million to build a national network of AI-programmable, remotely operated laboratories — the Programmable Cloud Laboratories Test Bed (NSF 25-541), the agency's flagship contribution to the Genesis Mission. Twenty nodes, four years, self-driving experiments in chemistry, biology and materials. Here is what it funds, who is eligible, why the 'existing facilities only' rule matters, and how researchers and companies should position for what comes next.
