The Materials Innovation Platforms (MIP) program supports transformative, transdisciplinary research to address grand challenges in materials science. It provides shared, cutting-edge infrastructure for materials synthesis, characterization, and modeling, fostering innovation through iterative, collaborative processes. MIPs emphasize creating scientific ecosystems that integrate expertise across disciplines, advance tools with unique capabilities, and promote data and knowledge sharing. Platforms are designed to accelerate materials discovery and deployment, aligning with national priorities and the Materials Genome Initiative.

This ACSS 2.0 Program solicitation intends to request proposals from organizations willing to serve as resource providers within the NSF ACSS program. Resource providers would (1) provide advanced cyberinfrastructure (CI) resources in production operations to support the full range of computation, data-analysis, and AI research across all of science and engineering, and (2) enable democratized and equitable access to the proposed resources.
The 2025 deadline supports Category II, Innovative Prototypes/Testbeds proposals, which focus on deploying novel computing resources as prototypes or testbeds to advance science and engineering research.

The funds are designed to provide to tenure track faculty members in their first to fourth year, at American Institutions, who hold M.D. and/or Ph.D. degrees, start-up support to move the project forward to the point where R01 or other independent funding can be obtained. Applicants with current R01 funding should not apply.
The grant provides $75,000 annually for a period of up to three years. Grants are not renewable.
Proposals must contain an adequately detailed description of the project to be clearly understandable by the scientific members of the Trustees. They need not be in the detail requested by the NIH for R01 grants and should not exceed five pages in length. Additional material can be submitted, but the five-page application should contain the essential information. References should also be included to support the proposal. Note that the five page limit is only for the project description.

The Schmidt Science Polymaths Program supports recently tenured faculty with extraordinary track records and bold, creative visions for exploring entirely new lines of research that are clearly distinct from their prior work. These grants are designed for “polymath” researchers, those who cross disciplinary boundaries and apply insights in unconventional ways, to pursue high-risk, underexplored ideas unlikely to receive traditional funding.
The program invests in individuals, not specific projects, and seeks candidates who are intensely creative, willing to take adventurous leaps, and capable of generating transformative breakthroughs. Successful nominees are not simply excellent scientists—they exhibit high-variance thinking, a strong desire to pivot into new research domains, and the courage to test “big if true” ideas. Proposals should reflect future research directions and describe the kinds of questions they want to explore if traditional constraints were removed.
