Seed Grant – Northwest Nanotechnology Infrastructure Northwest Nanotechnology Infrastructure To support the use of nanotechnology tools to develop innovative, new technologies, the Northwest Nanotechnology Infrastructure (NNI) is offering grants for work to be conducted in our fabrication or characterization facilities.
These grants are designed to help users build and characterize prototypes, obtain preliminary results and conduct proof of concept studies. Applications for 2025 are no longer accepted. This program is open to new, first-time users of the Washington Nanofabrication Facility (WNF) or Molecular Analysis Facility (MAF) from both inside and outside the University of Washington.
New faculty and postdoctoral scholars, especially non-traditional users of micro/nanotechnology and advanced manufacturing (e.g. medicine, clean energy and geology) are encouraged to apply. Applicants must be based at an academic institution. Support is not intended to supplement or extend an ongoing funded research project.
Awards are based on the quality of the research being proposed and are not intended to serve as bridge funding when external sources of research support have been lost. Funds can be applied to on-site work or remote work to be carried out by facility staff. They cannot be applied towards travel expenses.
Grants must be used between May 1, 2025 – April 30, 2026 or they are forfeited. Awardees must sign a standard Use of Facility Agreement prior to beginning their project in the lab. Projects will be selected based upon a) novelty, b) need for access to state-of-art instrumentation, and c) potential impact.
Selected projects will receive up to $10,000 in laboratory/equipment time to be used at either the Washington Nanofabrication Facility or the Molecular Analysis Facility. Grant amounts will be based on the number of hours proposed for the project and the normal fee structure used to reserve equipment at UW NNI facilities.
According to the current listing, eligibility includes: Open to new users of the Washington Nanofabrication Facility and Molecular Analysis Facility, including faculty and postdoctoral scholars from academic institutions. Confirm the full requirements in the official notice before applying.
The current listing shows up to $10,000. Verify award ceilings, matching requirements, and allowable costs in the official notice.

NVIDIA Graduate Fellowship Program is a grant from NVIDIA providing up to $60,000 per award to PhD students conducting research that advances accelerated computing and its applications. Now in its 25th year, the program invites nominations from doctoral students pushing the boundaries of artificial intelligence, robotics, autonomous vehicles, and related fields. Recipients receive not only research funding but also access to NVIDIA technology, products, and engineering expertise, along with a mandatory in-person summer internship. Students are nominated by their faculty advisors and selected based on academic achievement and research area alignment.
CalSEED Concept Award is a grant from the California Energy Commission that provides $150,000 in funding to early-stage clean energy innovators in California. The program targets individuals, businesses, and nonprofits developing hardware, software, or integrated solutions at Technology Readiness Levels 2-4. Eligible technology areas rotate each cycle and have included battery recycling and reuse, long-duration energy storage, medium- and heavy-duty vehicle electrification, industrial electrification, and advanced EV charging. Applicants must be located in California, have under $1 million in private funding, and propose innovations that benefit California ratepayers. Concept Award winners also receive professional development resources and access to accelerator programs, and may compete for a subsequent $450,000 Prototype Award.
Announced August 4, 2026, NSF 26-513 will fund up to 10 State and Regional AI Infrastructure Hubs at $4-12M each over five years. It is a cooperative-agreement, public-private consortium model designed to put frontier compute in the hands of researchers outside the elite institutions. Here is how the program is structured, who can lead, and how to build a competitive consortium before the November 4 deadline.
Read articleOn June 29, 2026, EPA announced it will waive the $25,000 WIFIA application fee and the credit processing fee — averaging roughly $156,000 per loan — for communities of 25,000 or fewer residents in fiscal years 2026 and 2027. Combined, that removes nearly $200,000 in upfront cost from the single most affordable federal water-infrastructure financing program, which carries roughly $11 billion in available capacity and can cover up to 80% of eligible project costs at Treasury-rate pricing. For small towns, rural utilities, and the nonprofits and districts that serve them, this is a rare instance of the federal government lowering the barrier to a program that has historically been out of reach for exactly the communities that need it most. Here is what changed, who qualifies, and how to move on a letter of interest before the window closes.
Read articleFor FY2026 and FY2027, EPA is waiving the $25,000 WIFIA application fee and the ~$156,000 credit-processing fee for water systems serving 25,000 or fewer people — a near-$200,000 discount on access to an $11 billion pool of low-cost federal financing. The waiver removes the single barrier that kept small and rural utilities out of WIFIA for a decade. Here is how WIFIA actually works, who qualifies, why the letter of interest is the real gate, and how a town of 8,000 should think about a program built for billion-dollar projects.
