About the Seed Grant | Center for Cognitive and Brain Sciences The Ohio State University Center for Cognitive and Brain Sciences CCBS is pleased to offer a seed grant competition to Center members. This seed grant program aims to support cognitive science research, foster interdisciplinary collaboration, advance student training, and promote cutting-edge STEM research.
The Center will support projects that have the potential to advance the understanding of mind, brain, and/or language and combine multiple areas and approaches within cognitive science. Successful proposals will outline activities that will significantly increase the visibility of the University nationally and internationally.
Successful applications are expected to develop new collaborations, formulate innovative ideas, and/or collect pilot data (including fMRI data). Preferences will be given to proposals involving new collaborations, although existing collaborations will not be excluded.
As community building is a goal of this seed grant, previous and expected future involvement in the Center's programs, events, and activities will be taken into consideration. For a one-year project, the PIs will be required to submit a final report at the end of the year.
For a two-year project, the PIs will be required to submit a report at nine months of the first year to demonstrate sufficient progress to warrant a second year of funding and then a final report at the end of the second year. The winning PIs are also expected to present their work as a talk for the Center in the later part of the grant period and attend the CCBS Fall Retreat.
We expect to make one award, with a maximum term of two years and a maximum budget of $50,000 per year. Anticipated Timeline, 2026 Cycle Call for proposals, early January Notification of first-round results and invitation for full proposals, late February Winning proposal chosen and PIs notified of award, early May Interested research teams should meet the following criteria before applying.

Release 6's SBIR topics got the attention. Its three STTR topics — SHIELDER, fuel-flexible electric propulsion, and hypersonic wind tunnel noise diagnostics — are all Direct-to-Phase-II, all require a research institution to perform at least 30 percent of the work, and all close October 21, 2026. The feasibility gates are the real filter.

But TS/SCI is gating, polygraphs must finish in 90 days, foreign nationals are barred even from unclassified work, and your feasibility evidence cannot come from prior SBIR funding. Here is how to read a security-gated SBIR before the October 21 deadline.
