The National Science Foundation (NSF) is the U.S. federal agency that supports fundamental research and education across all fields of science and engineering, with strong emphasis on advancing U.S. research capacity, STEM workforce development, and broadening participation. NSF funds university research, national research infrastructure, early-career investigators, and technology translation (e.g., SBIR/STTR), and also supports cross-disciplinary priorities such as AI, advanced computing, biotechnology, data science, cybersecurity, and disaster resilience. Its grants are distributed nationwide (including territories) and through international partnerships, using competitive peer review and program-driven solicitations.

Competitive, peer-reviewed grants and cooperative agreements issued through program-specific solicitations and core directorate programs; award sizes range from small (≈$10k) to multi‑million dollar center and infrastructure grants, including single-year to multi‑year awards. NSF accepts unsolicited proposals but most funding flows from targeted solicitations and recurring programs with set deadlines.
Submit proposals via Research.gov or Grants.gov following the specific program solicitation; address NSF's two merit-review criteria (Intellectual Merit and Broader Impacts), check program deadlines and eligibility (e.g., CAREER and SBIR deadlines), and tailor applications to the solicitation’s scope—unsolicited proposals are allowed but must follow NSF proposal guidelines and formatting. Expect competitive peer review and allow lead time for institutional approvals.
