NSF – Engineering of Biomedical Systems

Supports research that integrates engineering and life sciences to solve biomedical problems. [Strongly recommended that PIs contact program director before submission; full proposals accepted anytime.]

NSF Faculty Early Career Development Program

$400k / 5y to support faculty with the potential to integrate research and education into a lifetime of leadership. [Next deadline to submit full proposals: 7/28/27.]

Air Force Funding for Human Health and Performance

The Air Force Research Laboratory, Human Effectiveness Directorate (RH) and the United States Air Force School of Aerospace Medicine (USAFSAM), is soliciting white papers (and potentially later technical and cost proposals) relevant to aerospace physiology, aerospace medicine, public health and preventative medicine, wearable technology, occupational medicine, bioenvironmental engineering, and more. [Accepting white papers now through 9/30/27. RFPs sent by invitation only.]

Ruth L. Kirschstein National Research Service Award (NRSA) Individual Predoctoral Fellowship (Parent F31)

For predoctoral students to obtain individualized, mentored research training from appropriate faculty sponsors while conducting biomedical research in scientific health-related fields. The proposed mentored research training must address the candidate’s identified research training and career goals and enhance the candidate's potential to successfully transition to the next phase of their biomedical research career.

[Effective June 1, 2026] NIH Implements Changes to Domestic Subawards

Effective June 1, 2026, per NOT-OD-26-062, all prime recipients are required to obtain NIH prior approval when adding a new domestic subaward to a project post-award, when the arrangement was not originally a part of the peer-reviewed and approved application. The new prior approval requirement is intended to ensure that NIH is aware of all subaward activities for each NIH project. Requests must be submitted in the eRA Commons Prior Approval Module using the “Other Request” type.

BRAIN Initiative: Research Resource Grants for Technology Integration and Dissemination (U24 Clinical Trial Not Allowed)

For efforts to disseminate resources for integration into neuroscience research practice. The resource(s) should be relevant to the goals of the BRAIN Initiative, shared broadly to the neuroscience community and address compelling needs of neuroscience researchers that are otherwise unavailable or impractical in their current form. May be relevant to research pertaining to the spinal cord and brain-bladder connections. [Posted 2/9/2026. Expires 10/7/2028.]

NSF Postdoctoral Research Fellowships in Biology (PRFB)

Accepting proposals from recent doctoral degree recipients focused on the Intersection of Artificial Intelligence and Biological Sciences to Strengthen and Safeguard Biotechnology Innovations. Candidates with AI and/or biology experience will develop deep expertise in both areas. Fellows expected to become field leaders who use AI capabilities to extrapolate from biological data to technological advances. Proposers are encouraged to consider how to leverage the nation's diversity of existing biological data, and biological infrastructure to accelerate discovery, innovation and biotechnology for the public good. [Posted 2/5/2026. Deadlines: 9/29/2026, 4th Tuesday in Sept, annually thereafter.]

Advancing Bioinformatics, Translational Bioinformatics and Computational Biology Research (R01 Clinical Trial Optional)

For projects driving groundbreaking innovation and advanced development in bioinformatics, translational bioinformatics, and computational biology. Supports creation and implementation of cutting-edge methods, tools, and approaches that can transform the landscape of biomedical data science given the growing need to leverage transformative technologies — such as artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning, and large-scale computational platforms — to extract actionable knowledge from vast, diverse, and complex biological datasets. [Posted 2/11/2026. Expires 3/6/2029.]

Research Grants in Clinical Informatics (R01 Clinical Trial Optional)

Supports research on the design, implementation, and evaluation of clinical informatics tools and methods that enable data-driven discovery, promote evidence-based decision-making, and support personalized and precision health care. Ideal projects transform raw and heterogeneous health data into actionable knowledge, to develop innovative tools, and to implement practical applications with broad clinical applications. [Posted 2/11/2026. Expires 3/6/2029.]

ARPA-H Mission Office Innovative Solution Openings

Proposals that advance care models, novel business solutions, and substantial technical innovation. Proposals relate to clinical tool, technology, and platform development, prevention detection, prophylactic treatments, population-level approaches, and improving robustness of healthcare systems.
