The International Research Experiences for Students (IRES) program aims to support U.S. science and engineering students in participating in international research and related activities, fostering a diverse and skilled workforce. Eligibility is limited to U.S. citizens, nationals, or permanent residents, while proposals must be submitted by U.S.-based organizations, including non-profit and higher education institutions. Students do not apply directly to NSF; instead, they must apply to NSF-funded investigators who have received IRES awards, which can be identified through the NSF's directory of active IRES projects.

The Mathematical Sciences Postdoctoral Research Fellowships (MSPRF) aim to support emerging leaders in mathematics and statistics by providing opportunities for impactful postdoctoral research. Eligible applicants must be U.S. citizens, nationals, or permanent residents who have obtained their doctoral degree within the last two years and propose research in mathematics or statistics. Proposals must be submitted directly to the NSF by the fellowship proposer, and candidates must certify their eligibility upon submission.

The HBCU Excellence in Research (HBCU-EiR) program aims to enhance research capacity at Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) by funding research projects aligned with NSF's programs, particularly for those HBCUs that have not been successful in larger NSF competitions. Eligible applicants include accredited HBCUs with faculty members conducting research in science, engineering, or STEM education, and proposals must be submitted by a full-time faculty member or researcher from the HBCU. For application details, interested parties can contact NSF grants.gov support at grantsgovsupport@nsf.gov.

The purpose of this grant is to support NCATS CTSA Program KL2 scholars and re-entry supplement recipients in conducting clinical and translational research projects, including pilot studies and methodology development, to aid their transition to independent academic scientists. Eligible applicants include various nonprofit organizations, educational institutions, government entities, and small businesses, with specific provisions for certain minority-serving institutions. Application details are not provided in the summary, but interested parties can contact NIH Grants Information for further inquiries.

The grant aims to support basic research projects focused on chemical warfare agents, toxic industrial chemicals, and pesticides that affect the nervous system, with the goal of generating data on toxicity mechanisms and potential therapeutic targets. Eligible applicants include various government entities, nonprofits, for-profit organizations, educational institutions, and specific tribal organizations, while non-domestic entities are not eligible. To apply, interested parties should refer to the full opportunity announcement for detailed application instructions.

The NSF Astronomy and Astrophysics Postdoctoral Fellowships aim to support early-career scientists in conducting independent research and education in astronomy or astrophysics for up to three years at eligible host institutions. Eligible applicants must be U.S. citizens, nationals, or lawful permanent residents who have earned their doctoral degree within the last five years or will complete it by October 1 following the proposal deadline. Proposals must be submitted directly by the fellowship candidate, who must identify scientific mentors and host institutions at the time of submission.

The grant aims to support innovative educational activities that equip participants with essential skills for careers in the biomedical research workforce, targeting individuals at various career stages from undergraduates to professionals. Eligible applicants include government entities, educational institutions, small businesses, nonprofits, and various organizations serving specific communities, such as Native American tribes and historically black colleges. Application details are not specified, but interested parties can contact NIH Grants Information for further inquiries.

The Research Experiences for Teachers (RET) in Engineering and Computer Science program aims to provide K-14 educators with authentic summer research experiences to enhance their knowledge in engineering and computer science, fostering collaborations with universities and industry partners. Eligible applicants include institutions of higher education, particularly minority-serving institutions and community colleges, as well as active ENG or CISE awardees for supplemental funding. Proposals must be submitted by faculty members with a full-time, tenured or tenure-track position in relevant engineering or computer science departments.

The NCI Pathway to Independence Award for Early-Stage Postdoctoral Researchers (K99/R00) aims to support the transition of postdoctoral fellows with research or clinical doctoral degrees into independent tenure-track faculty positions, particularly in cancer control, prevention, and data sciences. Eligible applicants include postdoctoral researchers who do not require extended mentored training and various institutions such as government entities, nonprofits, and educational institutions. To apply, candidates must propose research experiences that do not involve leading independent clinical trials, and they can seek guidance from their institutions.

The Mathematical Biology Program supports research that integrates mathematical sciences with biological sciences, emphasizing mathematical innovation and biological relevance. Eligibility is unrestricted, allowing a wide range of applicants to submit proposals. Interested investigators should contact program officers for guidance on proposal submission, especially if their project may be reviewed by multiple NSF programs.
