Partnerships for Enhanced Engagement in Research (PEER) is a USAID-funded competitive grants program that provides an opportunity to support scientists in developing countries who work with NSF, NASA, NIH, Smithsonian Institution, USDA, and USGS funded principal investigators (PIs) at U.S...

Supports research on whole-organism physiology and functional morphology, including mechanisms underlying interactions among viruses, prokaryotes and eukaryotes; organismal structural features; and organismal responses to abiotic/biotic environments.

Supports mechanistic studies in neuroscience, from structure to function in natural context, that span multiple levels of analysis, from molecular and cellular to complex behavioral aspects of organisms.

Supports research on how the properties of organisms emerge from the interactions of developmental processes. Focus areas include plant, fungal and microbial development; animal development; and the evolution of developmental mechanisms

Supports integrative research on the behavior of individuals and groups of animals. Supports species-specific and comparative studies, as well as modeling and theoretical approaches.

Supports research to advance theory on the design and management of organizations; the behavior and well-being of individuals within organizations; and the relationships between people, organizations and systems.

Supports research on ecosystem structure and function across a diversity of spatial and temporal scales and across ecosystems experiencing the full spectrum of human impacts.

Supports research on evolutionary processes at all scales, from the molecular to biogeographic, to understand the mechanisms that shape the adaptation, distribution, speciation and diversity of life.

Supports conceptually-framed research that advances understanding of population ecology, demography, species interactions, community dynamics and the factors influencing these processes across space and time.

Supports research on the diversity, systematics, distribution and evolutionary history of extant and extinct organisms, which may encompass a range of topics including phylogenetic comparative studies, biogeographic and exploratory biodiversity studies.

Supports research and supplemental funding requests from current NSF awardees to facilitate professional development of K-12 science teachers.

Supports research on discrete structures. Focus areas include algebraic, enumerative, existential, extremal, geometric and probabilistic combinatorics, including graph theory.

Supports a national network of learning environments and resources for STEM education at all levels.

Computer systems support a broad range of applications and technologies that seamlessly integrate with human users. While many key building blocks of computer systems are today commercial technologies, the challenge ahead is to envision new technologies, as well as to...

The NeTS program seeks fundamental scientific understanding of and advances in large-scale, complex, heterogeneous communications networks, including, but not limited to, internet of things (IoT), home, edge, enterprise, data center, cloud, and Internet or Internet-scale networks, and in the wireless...

Supports research on the design, evaluation and operation of computer hardware and software.

Supports research on the theoretical underpinnings of information acquisition, transmission and processing in communications and information processing systems.

Supports research on the theory of algorithms focused on problems that are central to computer science and engineering, and the development of new algorithms and techniques for analyzing algorithms and computational complexity.

Supports computational research on the full data life cycle, from collection through archiving, analysis and discovery, to maximize the utility of information resources for science and engineering.

Supports computational research in artificial intelligence, machine learning, computer vision, human language technologies and computational neuroscience.

Supports research in fundamental plasma physics including study of magnetized plasmas, high-energy-density plasmas, low temperature plasmas, strongly coupled plasmas, non-neutral plasmas, and intense field-matter interaction in plasmas.

Supports projects that provide research experiences to undergraduates in the research areas funded by the Division of Chemistry.

Supports efforts to integrate ocean research and education via two main program areas — Research Experiences for Undergraduates Sites or Faculty Early Career Development (CAREER) awards.
