About this opportunity

The National Science Foundation Directorate for Engineering seeks applicants for foundational engineering research in chemical, bioengineering, energy, and transport systems with an application due date of October 5, 2076. Applicant types are unrestricted. The opportunity encompasses four programs: Chemical Process Systems, supporting foundational research in chemical and biochemical processes for chemicals, fuels, energy, and materials; Engineering Biological and Biomedical Systems, supporting research on platforms, devices, organisms, tissues, and processes that advance knowledge and control of biological functions; Energy, Water, and Resource Engineering, supporting foundational research to manage energy, water, minerals, and material resources; and Transport Phenomena, supporting foundational research to understand, model, and control the transport of mass, momentum, energy, and species across multiple scales.

NSF ENG anticipates a portfolio of awards with a range of budgets and durations; estimated program budget, number of awards, and average award size and duration are subject to the availability of funds. NSF ENG is particularly interested in intellectually ambitious and potentially transformative foundational research. Proposals need not promise near-term product, deployment, or commercial outcome, nor need they address later-stage development to be competitive.

The opportunity is assigned to the NSF Engineering program (CFDA 47.041). Applications must be submitted through Grants.gov using the NSF Grants Application Guide (NSF 24-006) and include mandatory forms covering project/performance site location, research and related project information, budget, NSF cover page, and NSF Senior/Key Person Profile (Expanded). A data management and sharing plan (maximum two pages) is required, and applicable mentoring plans are limited to one page.

Synopsis

The U.S. National Science Foundation Directorate for Engineering (NSF ENG) supports foundational engineering research for chemical, bioengineering, energy, and transport systems through the following programs: 

  • The Chemical Process Systems (CPS) program supports foundational engineering research in chemical and biochemical processes for chemicals, fuels, energy, and materials.

  • The Engineering Biological and Biomedical Systems (EBBS) program supports foundational engineering research on platforms, devices, organisms, tissues, and processes that advance knowledge and control of biological functions.

  • The Energy, Water, and Resource Engineering (EWRE) program supports foundational engineering research to manage energy, water, minerals, and material resources.

  • The Transport Phenomena (TP) program supports foundational engineering research to understand, model, and control the transport of mass, momentum, energy, and species across multiple scales.

NSF ENG anticipates a portfolio of ENG: Chemical, Bioengineering, Energy, and Transport Systems (CBET) awards with a range of budgets and durations. Estimated program budget, number of awards, and average award size/duration are subject to the availability of funds.

NSF ENG is particularly interested in intellectually ambitious and potentially transformative foundational research. Proposals need not promise a near-term product, deployment, or commercial outcome, nor need they address later-stage development to be competitive.
