NSF BIO supports the submission of proposals to develop novel tools and methods that improve scientists’ abilities to measure, analyze, manipulate, or control critical aspects of cellular properties and functions in order to continue to push boundaries and open new avenues of inquiry in molecular and cellular biosciences.
As scientists push forward new frontiers in cell biological research, progress is increasingly constrained by the limits of existing technologies, underscoring the continued need for the development of innovative tools and methods to advance understanding of cells and their functions.
Historically, technological advances have had a profound and often catalytic influence on cell biology, either by enabling existing technologies to be applied in creative ways to study cellular processes or by introducing entirely new approaches that open previously inaccessible areas of investigation.
In this context, tool and method development – particularly efforts that draw on interdisciplinary advances from fields such as engineering, physics, chemistry, computation, or data science – remains essential. Proposed tools or methods may be designed to address specific research questions or hypotheses defined by and intended for use by an individual investigator or a focused group of researchers.
Such projects will be evaluated based on the importance of the underlying biological question or hypothesis and the extent to which the proposed tool or method enhances the ability of scientists to study cells or cellular function in relation to that question.
In addition, the research community is encouraged to pursue high-risk, high-reward approaches that explore novel tools or methods with the potential to fundamentally change how cellular processes are observed, measured, or understood.
There are additional opportunities in research infrastructure in the areas of bioinformatics, instrumentation and research methods through the Infrastructure Innovation for Biological Research (Innovation) solicitation.

TCUP lists eight funding tracks and roughly $10.3M a year, but the October 14, 2026 deadline applies to only three of them — CHAI, Pre-TI, and TCUP Partnerships — and each carries a restriction that disqualifies most applicants. Here is the track-by-track math.
Read articleNSF 26-513 makes roughly $100 million available for up to 10 State and Regional AI Infrastructure Hubs at $4M to $12M each over five years. One award per state or multi-state region. One proposal per organization. And NSF is not buying you GPUs — it funds the coordination, the workforce and the faculty training, while the compute has to come from partners you have to already have.
Read articleAs of September 12, NSF had obligated $6.3 billion across 6,200 grants versus $8.1 billion and 8,600 last year. AHRQ has made 61 awards. Judge Allison Burroughs ordered the government to report by September 28 on whether IES will obligate $180 million before it expires. Here is what actually happens to the money on October 1 — and what it means for your FY2027 application.
