Calendar-highlights of some of the upcoming bioscience and bioengineering NSF funding opportunities
| NSF Search Tools NSF "Find Funding" webpage* Upcoming NSF RFAs in order by deadline date Limited NSF RFAs (limited applicants permitted from the institution for these RFAs-internal selection required*) What to keep in mind while searching the NSF website* Limited programs: when the number of applicants is limited from the institution ARRA-Recovery Act funding opportunities NSF policy regarding funding restrictions involving disease-related research *Limited programs-when NSF limits the number of applicants from the institution and an internal selection process is required: Be sure to note whether or not an RFA limits the number of PIs from the institution (for which internal selection processes may already have been completed or will need to be initiated). If you have any questions about any limited programs, please send an email to Elizabeth Lasensky in the Dean of Research Office at lasensky@stanford.edu or to Jeanne Heschele in the Research Management Group at jheschele@stanford.edu for assistance. *NSF ARRA-Recovery Act RFAs: Some of the NSF ARRA* RFAs appear on the NSF Search page above. However all of the NSF ARRA internal selection processes have been completed (see the Miscellaneous ARRA-Recovery Act webpage) NSF Medical Research/Disease-related goal restrictions NSF Grant Proposal Guidelines Chapter 1. B: "Research with disease-related goals, including work on the etiology, diagnosis or treatment of physical or mental disease, abnormality, or malfunction in human beings or animals, is normally not supported. Animal models of such conditions or the development or testing of drugs or other procedures for their treatment also are not eligible for support. EXCEPTIONS: However, research in bioengineering, with diagnosis- or treatment-related goals, that applies engineering principles to problems in biology and medicine while advancing engineering knowledge is eligible for support. Bioengineering research to aid persons with disabilities also is eligible. " Grants.gov@Stanford resources webpage |
