Plasma Physics | NSF - U.S. National Science Foundation MPS Physics Research Programs (MPS Physics) 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. Supports foundational research in plasma physics including study of magnetized plasmas, high-energy-density plasmas, low temperature plasmas, strongly coupled plasmas, non-neutral plasmas, and intense field-matter interaction in plasmas.
Supports foundational research in plasma physics including study of magnetized plasmas, high-energy-density plasmas, low temperature plasmas, strongly coupled plasmas, non-neutral plasmas, and intense field-matter interaction in plasmas. Proposals in the area of Plasma Physics that are not governed by another funding opportunity should be submitted to the MPS Physics Research Programs (MPS Physics) funding opportunity.
Topically appropriate proposals may also be submitted to the Plasma Physics program via NSF meta-programs such as the ECosytem for Leading Innovation in Plasma Science and Engineering (ECLIPSE) and Computational and Data-enabled Science and Engineering (CDS&E) .
Proposal submission Target Date: The third Monday in November November 16, 2026, for fiscal year 2027 Proposals submitted after the Target Date of the fiscal year may be considered for funding in the following fiscal year. Plasma physics is a study of matter and physical systems whose intrinsic properties are governed by collective interactions of large ensembles of free charged particles. 99.
9% of the visible Universe is thought to consist of plasmas. The underlying physics of the collective behavior in plasmas has applications to space physics and astrophysics, materials science, applied mathematics, fusion science, accelerator science, and many branches of engineering.
The Plasma Physics program supports research that can be categorized by several broad, sometimes overlapping, sub-areas of the discipline, including: Magnetized plasmas in the laboratory, space, and astrophysical environments; Strongly coupled, including dusty and ultra-cold plasmas; High energy density plasmas; and Intense field-matter interaction in plasmas.
The focus of the Plasma Physics program is to generate an understanding of the fundamental principles governing the physical behavior of a plasma via collective interactions of large ensembles of free charged particles, as well as to improve the basic understanding of the plasma state as needed for other areas of science and engineering.
The program supports experimental, theoretical, and computational studies, including the use and development of novel artificial intelligence and machine learning techniques for expanding the plasma physics knowledge base. Proposals to the Plasma Physics program should clearly articulate the Broader Impacts of the proposed work.
These may include specific technology developments that could result from the proposed research and/or specific efforts to increase the size and breadth of the plasma science and engineering workforce, as well as specific efforts to engage the broader public in the science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) enterprise.
The Plasma Physics program prioritizes support for academic faculty, their graduate students and postdoctoral associates. The program supports workforce development via research-based student training; requests for graduate student tuition support are strongly discouraged. NSF recognizes that some research projects within this program may require more than three years to realize demonstrable research outcomes.
For such projects, proposers should consult the program about submitting a proposal with four- or five-year project duration.

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.
TCUP lists eight funding tracks and roughly $10.3M a year, but the October 14, 2026 deadline applies to only three of them — CHAI, Pre-TI, and TCUP Partnerships — and each carries a restriction that disqualifies most applicants. Here is the track-by-track math.
Read articleNSF 26-513 makes roughly $100 million available for up to 10 State and Regional AI Infrastructure Hubs at $4M to $12M each over five years. One award per state or multi-state region. One proposal per organization. And NSF is not buying you GPUs — it funds the coordination, the workforce and the faculty training, while the compute has to come from partners you have to already have.
Read articleAs of September 12, NSF had obligated $6.3 billion across 6,200 grants versus $8.1 billion and 8,600 last year. AHRQ has made 61 awards. Judge Allison Burroughs ordered the government to report by September 28 on whether IES will obligate $180 million before it expires. Here is what actually happens to the money on October 1 — and what it means for your FY2027 application.
