U.S. National Science Foundation · Amount varies

This NSF program (HBCU Excellence in Research) is restricted to accredited Historically Black Colleges and Universities that have faculty conducting research in science, engineering, or STEM education. The PI must be a full-time faculty member or researcher at the submitting HBCU, so no other organization type is eligible. It aims to build research capacity at HBCUs, particularly those less successful in larger NSF competitions. No specific award amount is stated in this record.

Governor's Office of Business and Economic Development · $50K–$500K

The Quantum FAST Challenge, run by California's Governor's Office of Business and Economic Development, funds two kinds of projects: education/workforce development to build a quantum-technology talent pipeline, and applied use-case demonstrations pairing researchers and students with industry partners. Listed eligible applicant types are 'Other Legal Entity' and 'Public Agency' — standard nonprofit and small-business categories aren't explicitly named, so organizations outside government or an established legal-entity structure should confirm fit with the funder before applying. Awards range from $50,000 to $500,000, with applications due 2026-10-20.

U.S. National Science Foundation · From $190K

These NSF Mathematical Sciences Postdoctoral Research Fellowships are awarded to individuals, who submit proposals directly to NSF rather than through an institution, though fellows must affiliate with a host institution. Applicants must be U.S. citizens, nationals, or permanent residents, have a doctoral degree (conferred no more than two years before January 1 of the award year), propose research in mathematics or statistics, and not have previously held most NSF awards. Eligibility is therefore narrow and individual-specific. Stated funding is around $190,000.
