DRRP awards typically go to universities, research institutions, and nonprofits with disability-research expertise. Eligibility specifics, funding amounts, and deadlines have not yet been posted, so applicants should monitor ACL for the formal notice.

National Institutes of Health · Amount varies

This is a forecast notice for a future NIMH R01 award (BRAINS) supporting biobehavioral research by innovative new scientists; no eligibility, description, funding amount, or deadline has been published yet. This program is typically aimed at early-career investigators once the full NOFO is released, so established labs may not be the primary target.

U.S. National Science Foundation · Amount varies

The NSF Electrochemical Systems program funds fundamental engineering research on electrochemical and photochemical processes for sustainable production of electricity, fuels, and chemicals, and for energy storage. Eligibility is unrestricted in principle (open to the entity types NSF lists, typically universities, research institutions, and qualifying organizations), subject to NSF's standard clarifications. No specific award amount or deadline is given in this listing, so check the current NSF solicitation for proposal windows and limits.

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. As an NIH research announcement, it is aimed at research institutions and investigators rather than the general public. Specific eligibility, award amounts, and deadlines have not yet been published. Interested research organizations should watch for the full announcement before the application window opens.

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.

U.S. National Science Foundation · $5K–$400K

The National Science Foundation's Biomechanics and Mechanobiology program funds researchers studying the mechanical behavior of living systems, from cells and tissues to whole organisms, with a required combination of biological and mechanics components. Awards range from about $5,000 to $400,000 and are open to any type of entity, though in practice applicants are typically universities and research institutions with qualified investigators. Purely clinical trials are not supported, though feasibility studies involving human or animal subjects may be allowed if tied to the research objectives.

National Institutes of Health · Amount varies

This is a forecasted (not yet open) NIH opportunity for resource-related research project cooperative agreements in aging and Alzheimer's disease and related dementias research. As an NIH research mechanism, it is aimed at research institutions and investigators rather than individuals or general organizations. Eligibility details, award amounts, and deadlines have not been published yet. Interested research organizations should monitor for the full announcement before applying.

Administration for Community Living · Amount varies

This is a forecasted (not yet open) Administration for Community Living opportunity to fund a Rehabilitation Research and Training Center (RRTC) on interventions that promote community living for people with disabilities. RRTC awards typically go to research institutions, universities, and similar organizations with disability research capacity. Eligibility details, award amounts, and deadlines have not been posted yet. The specialized research-center focus means eligibility is likely to be restrictive once published.

National Institutes of Health · Amount varies

This is a forecast notice for a future collaborative U24 award supporting the Consortium on the Neurobiology of Adolescent Drinking in Adulthood (NADIA) Administrative Resource; no eligibility, description, or funding amount has been published yet. As an administrative resource for an existing consortium, this opportunity will likely be restricted to current NADIA-affiliated institutions once published.

National Institutes of Health · Amount varies

This is a forecasted (not yet open) NIH opportunity for assay validation of high-quality cancer markers for clinical studies, offered under the UH2/UH3 phased mechanism with clinical trials not allowed. As an NIH research announcement, it is aimed at research institutions and investigators rather than the general public. Eligibility details, award amounts, and deadlines have not been published yet. Interested research organizations should watch for the full announcement before the application window opens.

National Institutes of Health · Amount varies

This is a forecasted (not yet open) NIH opportunity under the Research Council of Finland (RCF)–NIH Partnership Program, which supports collaborative U.S.-Finland biomedical research. As an NIH research mechanism, it is aimed at research institutions and investigators, and typically requires a partnership with Finnish researchers. Eligibility details, award amounts, and deadlines have not yet been published. The international-partnership structure means eligibility will likely be restrictive once announced.

National Institutes of Health · Amount varies

This is a forecasted (not yet open) NIH single-source opportunity for a Resource Center supporting the Support for Research Excellence (SuRE) program, which helps build research capacity at institutions serving underrepresented students. "Single source" means it is intended for one specific, pre-identified institution rather than open competition. Eligibility details, award amounts, and deadlines have not been published. Given the single-source structure, the typical applicant should assume they are not eligible.

National Institutes of Health · Amount varies

This is a forecasted (not yet open) NIH opportunity to continue the Physiology of the Weight Reduced State (POWERS) study, offered as a single-source U01 cooperative agreement. "Single source" means it is intended for one specific, pre-identified institution rather than open competition, and clinical trials are required. Eligibility details, award amounts, and deadlines have not been posted. Because it is single-source, the typical applicant should assume they are not eligible.

National Institutes of Health · Amount varies

This is a forecasted (not yet open) NIH limited-competition opportunity to support the NHGRI Analysis, Visualization, and Informatics Lab-space (AnVIL), a genomic data platform, offered as a U54 cooperative agreement with clinical trials not allowed. "Limited competition" means only specific, pre-identified institutions may apply, so it is not open to the general public. Eligibility details, award amounts, and deadlines have not been published. The typical applicant should assume they are not eligible given the limited-competition structure.

National Institutes of Health · Amount varies

This is a forecasted (not yet open) NIH single-source U01 opportunity for the Renal and Environmental Science Core of the CURE research consortium studying chronic kidney disease of uncertain etiology in agricultural communities, with clinical trials not allowed. "Single source" means it is intended for one specific, pre-identified institution rather than open competition. Eligibility details, award amounts, and deadlines have not been published. The typical applicant should assume they are not eligible given the single-source structure.
