Supplemental Funding Requests to Support Super Intelligence (SI) Innovation in the Presidential SI Challenge is sponsored by National Science Foundation (NSF).

PFE: Research Initiation in Engineering Formation (PFE: RIEF) is sponsored by National Science Foundation (NSF). The PFE: Research Initiation in Engineering Formation (PFE: RIEF) program has two goals: 1) Support research in the Professional Formation of Engineers (PFE), and 2) Increase the community of researchers conducting PFE research. PIs are expected to have little or no experience conducting social science or education research. PFE: RIEF is not intended for established researchers in engineering education or other social science fields to initiate new projects. Those researchers should consider the Research in the Formation of Engineers program ( https://www.nsf.gov/funding/opportunities/rfe-research-formation-engineers ). The NSF Engineering (ENG) Directorate has launched a multi-year initiative, the Professional Formation of Engineers, to create and support an innovative and inclusive engineering profession for the 21st Century. Professional Formation of Engineers (PFE) refers to the formal and informal education and value systems by which people become engineers. It also includes the ethical responsibility of practicing engineers to sustain and grow the profession. The engineering profession must be responsive to national priorities, grand challenges, and dynamic workforce needs; it must be equally open and accessible to all Americans. Engineering faculty possess both deep technical expertise in their engineering discipline and the primary responsibility for the process of professional formation of future engineers. As such, engineering faculty are in a unique position to help address critical challenges in engineering formation. The Professional Formation of Engineers: Research Initiation in Engineering Formation (PFE: RIEF) program enables engineering faculty who are renowned for teaching, mentoring, or leading educational reform efforts on their campus to develop expertise in conducting engineering education research. PFE: Research Initiation in Engineering Formation (PFE: RIEF). Program guideline: NSF 20-558. Upcoming due date listed in NSF feed.
On October 28, 2026, NSF sent its revised Guidance on Financial Assistance to OMB after 3,277 public responses. The revision drops four provisions borrowed from OMB's unfinished 2 CFR 200 rewrite: no fixed-price awards, no publication costs, termination for convenience, and indirect costs subject to available funds. The final 30-day comment period runs through about November 27. Here is what changed, what didn't, and what research offices should do before the December 11 funding cliff.
Read articleNSF 26-022, the July 8, 2026 Dear Colleague Letter last updated October 27, says NSF will prohibit its funds from supporting research collaborations with entities on U.S. restricted-party lists in FY2027, on the same timeline as the Guidance on Financial Assistance. Authorized organizational representatives and senior/key personnel will certify compliance at proposal submission. Here is what is covered, what is still undefined, and a 60-day plan for research offices and PIs.
Read articleThe FY2027 Defense University Research Instrumentation Program closes November 6, 2026 at 5:00 PM ET with roughly $28 million, awards from $50,000 to $3 million, and no cost-share requirement. It is down about $6 million from FY2026, it funds equipment and nothing else, and it lands ten days before the NSF MRI deadline. Here is how to split an equipment wishlist across two overlapping windows.
