U.S. National Science Foundation · Amount varies

The U.S. National Science Foundation's Environmental Sustainability program funds fundamental engineering research on sustainable systems that balance human well-being with protecting natural systems, including circular bioeconomy engineering, industrial ecology, life cycle assessment, and green engineering. Eligibility is broad (open to any type of entity, subject to clarifications in the solicitation), but proposals typically come from universities and research institutions with qualified principal investigators. Award amounts and deadlines are not specified here; review the full NSF solicitation.

National Institutes of Health · Amount varies

This National Institutes of Health opportunity funds pragmatic clinical trials conducted within real-world health care systems to test interventions under everyday practice conditions. It targets research institutions, academic medical centers, and health care systems with the capacity to lead large embedded trials, not individuals or general nonprofits. Detailed eligibility, award amounts, and deadlines are not published here because the opportunity is forecasted; confirm requirements in the official notice before applying.

Administration for Children and Families · Amount varies

The Administration for Children and Families opportunity funds evaluations of practices for program integrity and fraud prevention within human services programs, supporting research and assessment of methods to reduce improper payments and fraud. It typically targets research organizations, universities, and similar entities with evaluation expertise rather than individuals. Detailed eligibility, award amounts, and deadlines are not published here because the opportunity is forecasted; confirm requirements in the official notice before applying.

National Institutes of Health · Amount varies

This is a forecast notice for an NIH U24 award continuing the Integrative Neuroscience Initiative on Alcoholism (INIA) Consortia Administrative Resource Core, intended for the research institutions involved in that consortium's administrative infrastructure. Eligibility, funding amount, and deadline have not yet been published.

National Aeronautics and Space Administration · Up to $700K

NASA's National Space Grant College and Fellowship Program funds STEM education and workforce-development activities, with awards up to roughly $700,000. Eligibility is highly restricted: only designated Space Grant Lead Institutions (the lead institution of each state's Space Grant Consortium) may apply, so most organizations and individuals cannot apply directly. All proposers and participants must register in NASA's NSPIRES system, and proposals are submitted electronically by an authorized organizational official.

U.S. National Science Foundation · Amount varies

An NSF research program open to any type of eligible entity (universities, nonprofits, and other research organizations, per standard NSF rules) funding fundamental research in environmental engineering, including pollution prevention, remediation, and sustainable water treatment. Eligibility is broadly described as unrestricted, subject to standard NSF proposal rules; no award amount or deadline is listed in this posting.

National Institutes of Health · Amount varies

This National Institutes of Health Institutional Mentored Career Development Award (K12) funds an institution to establish a program that supports the mentored career development of early-career clinicians or scientists in a defined research area. The applicant is the institution, which then recruits and supports scholars, so individual researchers apply to participating programs rather than to NIH directly. Detailed eligibility, award amounts, and deadlines are not published here because the opportunity is forecasted; confirm requirements in the official notice before applying.

National Institutes of Health · Amount varies

This National Institutes of Health opportunity is a single-source award to continue the research center for the Epidemiology of Diabetes Interventions and Complications (EDIC) Study, a collaborative U01 with clinical trials not allowed. As a single-source continuation, it is directed to a specific existing institution rather than open to competitive applicants, so other organizations are not eligible. Detailed eligibility, award amounts, and deadlines are not published here because the opportunity is forecasted; confirm requirements in the official notice.

U.S. National Science Foundation · Amount varies

The U.S. National Science Foundation's Engineering of Biomedical Systems (EBMS) program funds fundamental, transformative research that integrates engineering and life sciences to address biomedical problems, such as models of healthy and diseased tissues, biomanufacturing of tissues and organs, and systems combining living and non-living components. Eligibility is broad (open to any type of entity, subject to clarifications in the solicitation), but in practice proposals come from universities and research institutions with qualified principal investigators. Award amounts and deadlines are not specified here; review the full NSF solicitation.

National Institutes of Health · Amount varies

This National Institutes of Health opportunity (P30, clinical trials not allowed) provides NEI Center Core Grant support for vision research, funding shared resources and core facilities that support a group of NIH-funded vision researchers at an institution. Eligibility is generally limited to institutions with an existing base of qualifying, peer-reviewed vision research grants, so it is not open to individuals or organizations without that research base. Detailed eligibility, award amounts, and deadlines are not published here because the opportunity is forecasted; confirm requirements in the official notice.

Administration for Community Living · Amount varies

This Administration for Community Living opportunity funds an organization to run the Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) Model Systems National Data and Statistical Center, which collects and analyzes data across the SCI Model Systems network. It is a specialized cooperative agreement aimed at research institutions and centers with established expertise in disability research and data coordination, not individual SCI patients or small organizations. This grant is currently forecasted, so detailed eligibility, funding amounts, and deadlines have not yet been published; confirm requirements in the official notice before applying.
