Historical & Museum Commission · $2.5K–$65K

This grant is open to Pennsylvania museums and official county historical societies that are legally organized nonprofit institutions with professional staff, as well as eligible municipalities, schools, higher-education institutions, and public authorities. It funds general operating expenses, with awards of $2,500-$65,000 calculated from the applicant's most recent fiscal-year operating budget, and no single county can receive more than 37.5% of available funds. Applicants must meet the American Alliance of Museums' definition of a museum, and funding depends on the Commonwealth's budget being finalized with money allocated to the program.

Workforce Development Board · Amount varies

This workforce development funding is open to businesses, nonprofits, and public agencies that form partnerships to build career pathway programs in the Quantum or Fusion technology sectors, covering everything from K-12 career exploration through community college credentialing and job placement. The Workforce Development Board plans to fund two or more partnerships, including both participant-serving and planning/development projects, but the listing does not specify a funding amount. Because the model requires multi-partner collaboration rather than a single applicant, solo organizations without partners may not fit the intended structure.

National Institutes of Health · Amount varies

This NIH (NCI) UH2/UH3 award funds both analytical and clinical validation of molecular, cellular, or imaging biomarker assays for cancer detection, diagnosis, prognosis, monitoring, and treatment response. Eligible applicants include higher-education institutions, nonprofits, tribal governments, and federal agencies; clinical trials are not allowed and applicants should already have assays that work on human samples. Foreign organizations and the foreign components of U.S. organizations are not eligible to apply, though some foreign components are allowed. No specific award amount is stated in this record.

National Institutes of Health · Up to $250K

This NIH (NCI) UH3 award funds the clinical validation of already analytically validated molecular, cellular, or imaging biomarker assays for cancer detection, diagnosis, prognosis, monitoring, and treatment response, using specimens from clinical trials or studies. Eligible applicants include higher-education institutions, nonprofits, tribal governments, and federal agencies; clinical trials are not allowed and early-stage technology development is out of scope. Applicants must already have an analytically validated assay, which narrows who can realistically apply. Foreign organizations and foreign components of U.S. organizations are not eligible to apply; stated funding is around $250,000.

National Institutes of Health · Amount varies

This NIH (NCI) award funds revision applications to clinically validate biomarker assays that were originally developed through existing NIH-supported research grants, meaning applicants generally need an active or prior NCI-supported assay to revise. Eligible applicants include higher-education institutions, nonprofits, tribal governments, and federal agencies; clinical trials are not allowed and early-stage technology development is out of scope. Because it builds on prior NIH funding, eligibility is effectively narrow. No specific award amount is stated in this record.

National Institutes of Health · Amount varies

This NIH X01 opportunity provides access to biospecimens (urine, plasma, serum, genomic DNA) and related data from the Population Assessment of Tobacco and Health (PATH) Study rather than direct research funding. It is aimed at investigators at universities, research institutions, and similar eligible organizations, including various minority-serving institutions and tribal entities. Foreign (non-U.S.) organizations and foreign components are not eligible. No award amounts are listed; this is a resource-access mechanism for researchers, not a general grant for nonprofits, businesses, or individuals.

Applications are due by October 31, 2026.

It is a research grant aimed primarily at universities, research institutions, and similar eligible organizations, including various minority-serving institutions, tribal entities, and foreign organizations. No award amounts are specified. Clinical trials are not allowed under this opportunity, and the eligibility list is research-institution oriented rather than open to nonprofits, small businesses, or individuals broadly.
