NOT-GM-24-044: NIGMS Interest in Supporting Research on Microbes and the Built Environment NIGMS Interest in Supporting Research on Microbes and the Built Environment National Institute of General Medical Sciences ( NIGMS ) The National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) is issuing this Notice to highlight interest in receiving grant applications focused on exploring the interaction of microbes (viruses, bacteria, fungi, protists) with the human-built environment, including but not limited to the following: The characteristics of microbes interacting with the built environment (e.g. identities, numbers, dynamics, or interactions with other microorganisms); Investigation of the physical and chemical principles governing interactions, release, and viability of microbes on/in solids, liquids and gases related to the built environment; Investigation of modes of interaction between humans or other model hosts and microbes in the built environment; Development or improvement of technologies for microbe detection, sampling and culturing, and bioinformatic approaches for characterizing complex microbial communities.
The Institute is particularly interested in the discovery of generalizable principles; thus, studies of model systems and surrogate microbes rather than actual infectious agents are more likely to be in the NIGMS mission and will be a higher priority for funding.
Applications from multidisciplinary teams of investigators including architects, engineers, epidemiologists, microbiologists, physicists, chemists, data scientists, and physicians are encouraged.

The program, operated through NCI's Center to Reduce Cancer Health Disparities (CRCHD), aims to enhance the pool of qualified diverse cancer researchers. Beginning with the June 12, 2025 due date, the CURE ACE Award is available in both Independent Clinical Trial Required and Independent Clinical Trial Not Allowed versions. Eligible applicants must be U.S. citizens or permanent residents at time of award.

Cummings Foundation raised its annual local grant program from $30M to $35M and is now awarding nearly all of it as unrestricted general operating support — including 25 grants paid over a full 10 years. Letters of inquiry for the 2027 cycle opened July 15 and close September 16, 2026. Here is who qualifies, how the multi-year structure works, and why the shift to unrestricted, decade-long funding matters more than the dollar increase.
