NIFA's Hispanic-Serving Institutions Education Grants Program (USDA-NIFA-HSI-011903) posted September 10, 2026 with $30.6 million, 40 anticipated awards, and a December 3 deadline. It uses the same 25 percent enrollment definition the Justice Department has declined to defend at the Department of Education. Here is the structure, the three grant types, and the caps that decide who wins.
Read articleNSF's CREST-RISE program builds STEM doctoral capacity at minority-serving institutions that are also 'emerging research institutions' — schools with under $50 million in annual research expenditures. Awards run up to about $2 million against a roughly $6 million program budget, with three distinct tracks and an August 7, 2026 deadline. Here is who actually qualifies, how the three tracks differ, and why the emerging-research-institution threshold is the eligibility line that decides everything.
Read articleCDC-RFA-EH-27-0074 posted as a forecast September 22, 2026: 6 expected awards at $750,000 to $900,000. That is flat funding against the expiring cycle — and the only proven way in is the consortium model Arizona used to bring three states under one award.
