Program Description 
NSF NQNI responds to national and community research priorities that will advance nanoscale and quantum science and engineering and grow U.S. leadership in critical and emerging technologies. These include quantum technology, semiconductors, artificial intelligence (AI), manufacturing, biotechnology, and others.

NQNI will provide broad access to domestic QISE research infrastructure as called for in the National Quantum Initiative (NQI) Act of 2018 (Public Law 115-368) and Administration priorities. NSF support for world-class research infrastructure will help U.S. researchers meet the needs of innovative quantum systems.

NSF developed the NQNI program with input on future research infrastructure needs from academia, government, industry, and U.S. National Laboratories. The workshop report, Nanotechnology Infrastructure of the Future (2023, NSF award 2331369), emphasized the need to continue supporting nanotechnology infrastructure; it concluded that such resources are "essential for quantum science and engineering and other emerging national research priorities." The workshop report, Workshop on Quantum Engineering Infrastructure II (2025, NSF award 2405015), affirmed that NSF nanofabrication infrastructure programs are highly valuable for quantum research; it also stated that such infrastructure should support quantum "technologies that require higher-levels of integration, yet have the flexibility to work with emerging platforms."

Purpose
CMS, through its Center for Clinical Standards and Quality (CCSQ), is accepting applications for cooperative agreements to entities to administer financial incentives, such as loan repayment and stipends, to RNs and LPNs to work in a qualifying nursing home or in an oversight role with a state agency for three years.

CMS will enter into cooperative agreements with organizations, which will become Financial Incentive Administrators (FIAs). These FIAs will identify and accept applications from individuals, who would then receive funds contingent on their working in a qualifying nursing home or state survey agency for three years (with an average of 30 or more hours per week).

In addition, FIAs will coordinate closely with individual states, which will provide additional funding directly to the FIA to increase the number of financial incentives available to recruit nurses in their state, and to gain a deeper understanding of each state’s specific staffing needs. FIAs will also work with other stakeholders, such as nursing homes, associations, or private organizations, which may contribute additional funds to the campaign or identify other ways to enhance the program.

Project Description 
The Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs of the U.S. Department of State announces an open competition for organizations to submit applications to carry out a project to aimed at reducing recruitment by organized crime groups in Mexico. This project will advance U.S. security interests by promoting a comprehensive approach that includes prevention, prosecution, and legal reform. The initiative will engage stakeholders in key Mexican states to implement intelligence-driven prevention strategies, strengthen public advocacy, enhance prosecutorial capacity, support disengagement programs, and advance legislative reform to criminalize organized crime recruitment. These efforts will disrupt criminal networks that facilitate the flow of illicit drugs, violence, and illegal migration into the United States. By fostering stability and the rule of law in Mexico, this project not only supports our regional partners but also directly contributes to the safety and security of the United States.

The number of allowed institutional submissions is no longer limited by the Beckman Foundation. Per the funding opportunity webpage: Institutions are not limited in the number of applicants who apply at the Letter of Intent stage.

Executive Summary 
The U.S. Department of State, Bureau of Democracy Human Rights and Labor, Office of International Religious Freedom (IRF) announces an open competition for organizations interested in submitting applications for a program to provide emergency financial assistance to victims of religious persecution and defenders of religious freedom. 

IRF promotes religious freedom as a core objective of U.S. foreign policy that makes America stronger, safer, and more prosperous. IRF’s mission is guided by its statutory mandate established by the International Religious Freedom Act of 1998 (IRF Act) and the Frank Wolf International Religious Freedom Act of 2016 (Wolf Act). The IRF Act provides that it is the policy of the United States, “standing for liberty and standing with the persecuted, to...promote respect for religious freedom by all governments and peoples.” To that end, the Wolf Act calls for the State Department to issue foreign assistance awards to promote respect for religious freedom and combat religious freedom violations.

As declared in President Trump’s Executive Order 13926, the promotion of international religious freedom is a “national security imperative” and “a foreign policy priority of the United States.” Pursuant to that Executive Order, IRF funds foreign assistance programs to “anticipate, prevent, and respond to attacks against individuals and groups on the basis of their religion, including programs designed to help ensure that such groups can persevere as distinct communities; to promote accountability for the perpetrators of such attacks; to ensure equal rights and legal protections for individuals and groups regardless of belief; to improve the safety and security of houses of worship and public spaces for all faiths; and to protect and preserve the cultural heritages of religious communities.”

Information on religious freedom conditions globally can be found in the State Department’s annual International Religious Freedom Report.

Applicants will be responsible for ensuring program activities and products are implemented in accordance with the Establishment Clause of the United States Constitution.

Organizations can submit up to one application to the FY27 Research Labs funding opportunity. 

• Applicants to the FY27 Research Labs funding opportunity may apply to other FY27 NEA funding opportunities (applications submitted in CY2026), including Research Grants in the Arts. Each proposal must be for a distinctly different project.
• An organization may receive up to one FY27 award in either the Research Labs program or the Research Grants in the Arts program. 

Program Description
The NEA Research Labs program is a funding opportunity under the NEA’s Research Awards initiative. The program funds long-term research agendas (referred to herein as NEA Research Labs, or Labs) that include multiple empirical studies and the dissemination of various products or services for promoting public knowledge about the arts and their contributions to American life. Each Lab must include an interdisciplinary team of researchers. Products or services developed under the award are expected to be of value to arts researchers, arts practitioners, and professionals in sectors such as healthcare, education, and business or management. Funded projects should have national, regional, or field-wide significance.  Projects supported through this program include: 

1.  Arts and Health. Includes studies that will test or characterize the benefits of the arts or arts and health activities—including creative arts therapies—in terms of health and wellbeing for people or communities. The NEA has a special interest in supporting such projects in the following contexts: • Military personnel, veterans, and their families •
   • Pediatric cancer care and other childhood diseases
   • Opioid use prevention, treatment, and recovery
   • Disaster relief and emergency response and preparedness
   • Care of older adults experiencing cognitive or neurodegenerative declines
2. Arts and the Economy. Includes studies that will test or characterize the benefits of the arts or arts activities in terms of economic or workforce development.
   • The NEA has a special interest in supporting such projects involving the arts in Artificial Intelligence (AI) competency training, in career development for people with disabilities, and/or in preparation for high-paying skilled trade jobs of the future.
3. Arts and Education. Includes studies that will test or characterize the benefits of the arts or arts activities in terms of school readiness, school engagement, or academic achievement among children from preschool through high school.
   • The NEA has a special interest in supporting such projects for learners with autism spectrum disorder or intellectual disabilities. 

Applicants seeking funding solely for discrete research studies and the promotion of their results should instead apply to the Research Grants in the Arts program.
