Funding amounts and deadlines are not stated.

National Institutes of Health · Amount varies

This is a forecasted (not yet open) NIH funding opportunity for the SCENT III program, focused on screening for health conditions using electronic nose technology, with clinical trials not allowed.

The typical applicant should assume they are not eligible given the single-source structure.

National Institutes of Health · Amount varies

This is a forecasted (not yet open) NIH Seed Instrumentation Support (SIS) opportunity under the S10 mechanism, which funds the purchase of shared scientific instruments for research institutions, with clinical trials not allowed. S10 awards go to institutions to acquire equipment used by multiple NIH-funded investigators, not to individuals. Eligibility specifics, award amounts, and deadlines have not been posted yet. Research institutions with shared-instrument needs should watch for the full announcement.

U.S. National Science Foundation · Amount varies

The NSF Science of Science: Discovery, Communication and Impact (SoS:DCI) program has unrestricted eligibility, meaning most entity types may apply, though it is geared toward researchers at universities and research organizations. It funds empirical social-science research on how scientific discovery happens, how science is communicated, and how science creates public value and informs evidence-based policy. No specific award amount or deadline is listed. Strong proposals are expected to advance theory, build data and analytical tools, and include robust open-science data management plans.
