Thematic Grant: Literacy and Senior Assistance (Discontinued)

Carrie Estelle Doheny Foundation – Education & Religion Grants is sponsored by Carrie Estelle Doheny Foundation. Guided by Catholic values, this foundation provides explicit funding support for education (including scholarship funds for Catholic universities and theological/adult education) and religious programs directed toward mission-based work and evangelization in the Greater Los Angeles area.

Appel à projets pour les OSC Tunisiennes (Call for Projects for Tunisian CSOs) is sponsored by Global Environment Facility (GEF) / United Nations Development Programme (UNDP). This call for projects supports Tunisian civil society organizations (CSOs) through small grants to implement community-based projects that address global environmental problems. The initiative aims to raise awareness and contribute to solving local environmental issues with strong community involvement, particularly youth and women. The thematic areas include biodiversity conservation, climate change, protection of international waters, sustainable forest management, combating land degradation, and addressing chemical pollutants.

Medium-Size Grants Call for Proposals (Global EbA Fund) is sponsored by Global EbA Fund (administered by IUCN and UNEP). The Global EbA Fund invites proposals that demonstrate collaborative and innovative approaches to advancing Ecosystem-based Adaptation (EbA) by addressing systemic barriers to scalability and contributing to global learning and policy dialogue.

HORIZON-RAISE-2026-01-03 is a pilot action under the Horizon Europe RAISE initiative that creates doctoral training networks dedicated to AI in science, with a total call budget of 30,000,000 euros. It is built on the Marie Sklodowska-Curie Actions Doctoral Networks model, meaning it funds structured international doctoral programmes rather than individual research projects: a consortium of institutions across multiple countries jointly recruits and trains a cohort of doctoral candidates, with mandatory secondments, joint training activities and a shared research agenda. What distinguishes the RAISE variant from the parallel MSCA Doctoral Networks 2026 call is the thematic requirement that the network integrate artificial intelligence into scientific research, positioning this as the training-pipeline instrument of Europe's AI-for-science strategy rather than a general doctoral programme. Grant size is determined by MSCA unit contributions scaled to the number of doctoral candidate person-months requested, which typically places awards between roughly 1,000,000 and 5,000,000 euros. The call opened 28 May 2026 and closes 24 November 2026. Because the pilot sits alongside the main MSCA Doctoral Networks call with the same deadline, consortia need to decide early which instrument their proposal targets, as the AI-in-science framing is evaluated as a substantive requirement rather than context.

IKI Medium Grants Call 2026 is sponsored by German Federal Ministry for the Environment, Climate Action, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety (BMUKN) / International Climate Initiative (IKI). Supports civil society organizations, academic institutions, and non-profit enterprises implementing projects focused on global climate action and biodiversity conservation. The 2026 thematic focus includes developing green skills for the climate transition and protecting marine ecosystems.

Automated Scientific Discovery is the most ambitious strand of RAISE, the European Commission's Resource for AI Science in Europe pilot - a roughly EUR 100 million coordinated package that press coverage has framed as an attempt to build a CERN for AI. The scientific target here is AI systems that do not merely assist researchers but close the loop: generating hypotheses, designing experiments, interpreting results and iterating with limited human intervention. That places the topic at the intersection of large language model reasoning, autonomous laboratories, and the domain-specific modelling needed to make machine-generated hypotheses worth testing, and successful consortia will almost certainly need to combine AI methods groups with experimental facilities rather than proposing either alone. The indicative budget is EUR 30 million across an expected three projects, which implies unusually large individual grants of roughly EUR 10 million and correspondingly large, multi-disciplinary consortia. The deadline is 2 February 2027. A companion topic, HORIZON-RAISE-2027-01-02, applies the same automated-discovery agenda to food research with a EUR 3 million budget and a single expected project, and shares the same deadline - teams whose application domain is food systems should target that narrower topic rather than competing in the general call. The broader RAISE portfolio also includes thematic networks of excellence and MSCA-model doctoral networks for AI in science, so groups whose strength is training rather than discovery infrastructure have alternative routes within the same initiative. Because these 2026-2027 calls are explicitly pilots for the Commission's forthcoming AI in Science strategy, proposals that articulate how their outputs would feed a permanent European AI-for-science resource are likely to read well against the impact criteria.

IKI Large Grants Call 2026 is sponsored by German Federal Ministry for the Environment, Climate Action, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety (BMUKN) / Federal Foreign Office (AA) implemented via Zukunft – Umwelt – Gesellschaft (ZUG) gGmbH. The upcoming IKI Large Grants Call 2026 provides major funding for international climate and biodiversity projects, featuring nine thematic and regional priorities spanning greenhouse gas mitigation, climate change adaptation, and natural carbon sinks. The program is structured to support large-scale, transformative projects (running up to eight years) that can include regional components or specific ODA-eligible country priorities in Latin America and the Caribbean, focusing on systemic change and alignment with Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs).

This Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) invites applications for Silvio O. Conte Digestive Diseases Research Core Centers (DDRCCs). The DDRCCs are part of an integrated program of digestive and liver diseases research support provided by the NIDDK. The purpose of this Centers program is to bring together basic and clinical investigators to enhance communication, collaboration, and effectiveness of ongoing research related to digestive and/or liver diseases within the NIDDK's mission. DDRCCs are based on the core concept, whereby shared resources aimed at fostering productivity, synergy, and new research ideas among the funded investigators are supported in a cost-effective manner. Each proposed DDRCC must be organized around a central theme that reflects the focus of the digestive or liver diseases research of the Center members. The central theme must be within the primary mission of the NIDDK, and not thematic areas for which other NIH Institutes or Centers are considered the primary source of NIH funding. Funding Opportunity Number: RFA-DK-27-119. Assistance Listing: 93.847. Funding Instrument: G. Category: HL. Award Amount: Up to $750K per award.
