Quantum Science Seed Grant (QSSG) Program | QFARM Quantum Science Seed Grant (QSSG) Program Skip Secondary Navigation The Q-FARM initiative invites applications for the Quantum Science Seed Grant Program (QSSG). This program seeks to support innovative and groundbreaking research in the field of quantum science and engineering.
We encourage collaborations that explore new ideas and approaches in quantum science, particularly focusing on quantum entanglement and its potential applications. The QSSG program is designed to stimulate high-risk, high-reward research in quantum science. We aim to support projects that explore novel ideas and could potentially lead to significant advancements in the field.
The program is unique in its focus on fostering interdisciplinary collaboration and supporting transformative research endeavors. The QSSG Program will award up to 3, 2-year seed grants, with a maximum budget of $200,000 per project. Funds may support, among other things: personnel, computing resources, visits from external collaborator(s) and equipment for a proof-of-concept demonstration.
Decisions will be made by a committee of faculty with research expertise in quantum science and engineering. The committee will consult external experts informally, as appropriate, and compatible with the confidentiality of the proposals and the need for quick decisions.
Teams can come from traditional QS disciplines (i.e., physics, applied physics, electrical engineering, materials science, chemistry), as well as biology and biomedical sciences (or medicine). A brief description of the topic to be pursued (2 pages max), emphasizing selection criteria below. A list of deliverables for each year of funding.
A CV and letter of commitment from each participating PI. New perspectives on fundamental research into entanglement, its evolution, and its preservation. Development of new approaches offering a quantum advantage in computation, sensing, or communication.
Theory/experiment collaborative efforts that connect advances in quantum information and many- body dynamics to experimental platforms such as tweezer arrays, cold atoms, superconducting and photonic hardware, and 2d-materials. Proposals and demonstrations of real-world quantum enhanced technologies, such as sensors. A source of funding for continuation of existing research programs.
A source of funding for research aimed at scaling up current approaches to quantum computing. Creative – Proposal idea transcends the current paradigms, both fundamental & technical. Impactful – Anticipated results may catalyze new studies and/or transform research directions.
Viable – Project plan is feasible for a 2-year timeline. Collaborative – Project plan clearly describes how the collaboration will be conducted (e.g. project roles, mentoring, assessment of progress and deliverables). Dissemination of Results: There will be an annual symposium where currently funded teams will present the successes, failures & lessons learned, and newly formed teams will describe the projects they are pursuing.

The full ASPECT NOFO (DE-FOA-0003647) posted September 4, 2026, eleven days later than the Notice of Intent predicted. The real document splits $58 million across two topic areas with anticipated award counts of 0-7 and 0-3, a cost share that jumps from 20 percent to 50 percent mid-project, a mandatory five-page concept paper due October 9, and a university eligibility restriction that decides team structure before anyone writes a word.
Read articleThe Humana Foundation's first 2026 slate funded 13 nonprofits and five university research teams around senior and veteran emotional health, with awards from $150,000 to $3 million concentrated in Texas, Florida, and Kentucky. A second health equity slate is planned for fall 2026. Here is what the portfolio structure reveals about how this funder decides, and how aging-services and behavioral health organizations should position.
Read articleThe Hydrocarbons and Geothermal Energy Office's University Training and Research program funds coal, oil and gas, and geothermal R&D at U.S. colleges and universities — but every proposal must include a non-academic partner and must build training modules that outlive the award. The LOI deadline is October 1, 2026, with full applications 15 days later. Here is what that compressed window means and why the workforce framing changes what a competitive proposal looks like.
