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: New, first-time users of the Washington Nanofabrication Facility (WNF) or Molecular Analysis Facility (MAF) from academic institutions (inside and outside the University of Washington). Confirm the full requirements in the official notice before applying.

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.
NASA STRIDE (Science Transport and Robotic Innovation for Deployment and Exploration) is a grant program from NASA that solicits proposals from U.S. industry to conduct design studies of advanced robotic surface and aerial mobility systems with payload transportation and deployment capability for Mars surface operations. The program supports innovation in robotic mobility systems that could enable future Mars science missions. U.S.-based universities and nonprofit research organizations may also be eligible per the grant record. The application deadline for this cycle was March 31, 2026.
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.
DOE's FY2026 University Nuclear Research Infrastructure Revitalization NOFO closed May 13 with a single multi-year consortium award above $6M. The structure signals where federal nuclear R&D is heading and how universities should organize for FY27.
Read articleFRA combined FY2025 and FY2026 into a single $2.04 billion CRISI NOFO — the last round backed by IIJA advance appropriations. With a $532.5M rural set-aside, 130 anticipated awards, and a June 25 deadline, the strategic terrain has shifted toward shovel-ready short lines and grade-crossing technology.
Read articleNIH's June 1 omnibus reset added Direct-to-Phase II to the STTR program for the first time. The change compresses university spinouts' funding timeline from three years to fifteen months, but the 30% research-institution subaward, feasibility-evidence rules, and IP licensing mechanics are not yet sorted at most universities.
