NSF and UKRI launch $10M quantum chemistry collaborative research effort | NSF - U.S. National Science Foundation NSF and UKRI launch $10M quantum chemistry collaborative research effort Eight new projects could lead to breakthroughs in computing, sensing and secure communications The U.S. National Science Foundation and United Kingdom Research and Innovation (UKRI) are investing in eight joint research projects that could open the door to breakthroughs in quantum computing, ultra-precise navigation and secure communications.
The effort is supported by $4. 7 million from NSF and £4. 2 million from UKRI's Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC).
Each project brings together U.S. and U.K. researchers to tackle an underexplored area in science: how quantum information affects chemical reactions and molecular systems, and how that knowledge can be put to use. By harnessing the inherent complexity of chemical systems, the teams aim to surpass today's quantum technologies, which primarily rely on atoms and photons.
The partnership underscores the growing international momentum in quantum research, with the potential to create new and different types of molecular-based qubits and other fundamental components useful for quantum computing, quantum sensing and quantum communications.
"Through a dynamic partnership, the U.S. National Science Foundation and UKRI are uniting top researchers to unravel the mysteries of quantum in chemical systems," said White House Office of Science and Technology Policy Director Michael Kratsios.
"Building upon the President’s U.S.-UK Technology Prosperity Deal , this visionary partnership will reshape our knowledge of quantum mechanics and open new frontiers in quantum computing, sensing, and communicating." "By supporting bold, collaborative science, this partnership lays the foundation for advances that can transform everyday life," said Brian Stone, performing the duties of NSF director.
"These projects demonstrate the power of shared investment in tackling real-world challenges, from more powerful computing to next-generation navigation and sensing tools." "This joint EPSRC-NSF investment in quantum information science in chemistry represents UKRI commitments towards exploring compelling scientific frontiers and working with our international partners," says EPSRC Executive Director for Research Jane Nicholson.
"These programmes will open new pathways for transformative science and the quantum technologies of the generation yet to come." Potential applications of the research include ultrasensitive molecular compasses, molecular-scale memory systems, and new types of qubits.
Beyond technology outcomes, the projects will provide training opportunities for graduate students and early-career researchers in disciplines such as quantum optics, molecular spectroscopy and nanofabrication.
They will also strengthen long-term scientific partnerships between U.S. and U.K. institutions, advancing the goals of the U.S.-U.K. Technology Prosperity Deal , which supports collaboration in quantum, artificial intelligence and other critical technologies.
In addition to funding the eight projects, NSF and UKRI are launching new opportunities to expand bilateral cooperation: Center-to-Centre Collaboration Opportunities for AI and Quantum Information Science and Technology will provide up to $500,000 in supplemental funding for current NSF-funded centers and institutes to partner with U.K. centres and institutes.
NSF-UKRI/EPSRC Lead Agency Opportunity on Understanding and Exploiting Quantum Information in Chemical Systems continues to support joint research in fiscal year 2026 by inviting collaborative U.S.-U.K. research proposals.
By focusing on quantum phenomena in chemistry, NSF and UKRI are opening new frontiers in science with the potential to deliver real-world technologies that enhance the quality of life, provide new economic opportunities and strengthen national security.

Agricultural Technologies (AG) - NSF SBIR/STTR is sponsored by National Science Foundation (NSF). The Agricultural Technologies topic supports innovations enabling farm production ecosystems that support the proper utilization of natural resources. Such technologies may encompass systems-level and multidisciplinary solutions to enable complex agricultural practices that support increased biodiversity balanced with yield production. Sub-topics include food waste mitigation, resilient supply & distribution, and other agricultural technologies.
Fire Science Innovations through Research and Education (FIRE) program is sponsored by National Science Foundation (NSF). This program invites innovative multidisciplinary and multisector investigations focused on convergent research and education activities in wildland fire. It supports research that can inform risk management and response, adaptation, and resilience across infrastructures, communities, cultures, and natural environments. Relevant topics include developing novel materials and methods for retrofitting existing buildings and remediating buildings following wildfire and smoke events.
The National Science Foundation reopened SBIR/STTR with $250M, a July 27 first deadline, $305K Phase I, $1.25M Phase II, and a new $40M scientific instrumentation pilot. Plus the $30M Strategic Breakthrough award. A strategic deep dive for deep-tech startups.
