NSF's National Optical-Infrared Astronomy Research Laboratory (NOIRLab) | NSF - U.S. National Science Foundation NSF's National Optical-Infrared Astronomy Research Laboratory (NOIRLab) Important information for proposers and award recipients All proposals must be submitted in accordance with the requirements specified in the funding opportunity and in the Proposal & Award Policies & Procedures Guide (PAPPG) and its supplements .
All NSF grants and cooperative agreements are subject to the applicable set of NSF award terms and conditions . NSF has updated its research security policies for NSF funded projects. NSF’s National Optical-Infrared Astronomy Research Laboratory (NSF’s NOIRLab) is the U.S. national center for ground-based, nighttime optical-infrared (OIR) astronomy.
It is a Federally Funded Research and Development Center, sponsored by NSF and managed by the Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy, Inc., that incorporates four programs, the Mid-Scale Observatories (MSO), the Community Science and Data Center (CSDC), the international Gemini Observatory, and Vera C. Rubin Observatory operations.
MSO in turn comprises the Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory (CTIO) and the Kitt Peak National Observatory (KPNO). Prior to October 1, 2019, CSDC and the facilities associated with CTIO and KPNO were part of the National Optical Astronomy Observatory (NOAO), an organization that has since transitioned to being part of the new center. The facilities at KPNO in Arizona include the 3.
5-meter WIYN telescope and the 4-meter Mayall telescope. CTIO in Chile operates the 4-meter Blanco telescope (a near twin to the Mayall) and the 4. 1-meter SOuthern Astrophysical Research (SOAR) telescope.
Both observatories also support the operation of a number of other smaller telescopes located at each site.
As the US national center for ground-based OIR astronomy, NOIRLab will operate and maintain OIR observational research facilities and related data systems; to coordinate and integrate observational, technical, and data-oriented capabilities available throughout the U.S. OIR System of federal and nonfederal assets; and to initiate, develop, and sustain domestic and international collaborations and partnerships to advance ground-based OIR facilities and capabilities.
Its mission is to enable breakthrough discoveries in ground-based OIR astronomy and astrophysics.

MGPV Travel Grant is sponsored by Geological Society of America (GSA), Mineralogy, Geochemistry, Petrology, Volcanology Division. MGPV Travel grants support student travel to the annual GSA meeting. Applications are restricted to active graduate or undergraduate students who are the presenting authors of an accepted abstract at the annual GSA meeting.
Research Opportunities in Space and Earth Science (ROSES) - 2025: A.4 Rapid Response and Novel Research in Earth Science is sponsored by National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Science Mission Directorate (SMD). This omnibus research funding opportunity includes various program elements, with rolling submissions for Earth Science research through August 2026. Proposers to Earth Science using the NASA Center for Climate Simulation high-end computing facility must include specific budget details.
NSF 26-521 folds eight materials programs into one solicitation carrying $100 million and 200 to 300 awards. Proposals are accepted anytime — but no individual may appear as PI or co-PI on more than one proposal per fiscal year across all eight programs. That single sentence reshapes how materials labs collaborate.
Read articleNSF 26-523 folds 12 core physics programs and three cross-cutting ones into a single solicitation with $180 million and roughly 300 awards. Proposals are accepted anytime, but AMO-Experiment and Gravitational Physics still target November 25 and QIS targets December 8. Cost sharing is prohibited, indirect cost rates are now a tiebreaker, and NSF reserves the right to phase out long-duration efforts after comparative review.
Read articleNSF 26-520 consolidates 14 mathematical sciences programs into $200 million and 400 to 600 awards with no per-PI cap and no deadline. Folded into it are Research Training Groups and Focused Research Groups — department-scale, cohort-building competitions that ran on a fixed annual date. Here is why removing that date is a different kind of change for training grants than for single-investigator grants, and what math departments should do before the fall.
