Past winners and funding trends for this program
NSF Foundational Research in Robotics (FRR) for AI-Integrated Embodied Intelligent Robotic Systems is sponsored by National Science Foundation (NSF) Directorates for Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) and Engineering (ENG). NSF's Foundational Research in Robotics (FRR) program, jointly led by the CISE and ENG Directorates, supports fundamental research on robotic systems that exhibit significant levels of both computational capability and physical complexity.
NSF's Foundational Research in Robotics (FRR) program, jointly led by the CISE and ENG Directorates, supports fundamental research on robotic systems that exhibit significant levels of both computational capability and physical complexity. The program defines a robot as intelligence embodied in an engineered construct with the ability to process information, sense, plan, and move within or substantially alter its environment. Funded work advances embodied AI, machine learning for perception and control, autonomy, manipulation, locomotion, human-robot interaction, and the integration of AI into physical autonomous systems across application domains. Proposals are accepted on a rolling basis with no submission deadline. Awards generally range from roughly $250,000 to $1.5 million over project periods up to four years.
RET Sites close October 14, 2026 — about nine awards from $5.8 million, capped at $600,000 over three years, with a PI eligibility rule that disqualifies most of the people who write outreach proposals. RET Supplements reach the same money for $15,000 a teacher and are not a competition.
Read articleNSF 26-514, 26-515 and 26-518 put $310 million and up to 850 awards on rolling submission with zero per-PI limits, while chemistry rations two proposals a year and materials rations one. The Engineering directorate ran this experiment eight years ago. When NSF tried it in Earth Sciences, proposal volume fell 59 percent. Here is what that history predicts, and how to use a directorate that is not counting your submissions.
Read articleNSF 26-523 folds 12 core physics programs and three cross-cutting ones into a single solicitation with $180 million and roughly 300 awards. Proposals are accepted anytime, but AMO-Experiment and Gravitational Physics still target November 25 and QIS targets December 8. Cost sharing is prohibited, indirect cost rates are now a tiebreaker, and NSF reserves the right to phase out long-duration efforts after comparative review.
