Summary
This opportunity offers support for organizations looking to strengthen their scientific infrastructure, particularly in areas that contribute to biological research and data access. Funding is intended to enhance tools, services, and facilities that benefit a broad community of researchers, educators, and institutions. Rather than focusing on individual projects, the aim is to expand shared resources that can lead to meaningful, long-term scientific progress.
Open to applicants across the United States, this funding is available to nonprofit organizations, accredited academic institutions, and other qualifying entities engaged in research support or scientific development. While small businesses and individual applicants are not the primary focus of this opportunity, collaborative partnerships that expand community access are encouraged. Funding is not limited to a specific state or region but must serve users beyond a single lab or institution.
Eligible uses of the funding include building digital platforms, modernizing biological collections, upgrading field stations, or coordinating regional and national networks that support scientific data and tools. Activities such as planning workshops or collaborative infrastructure design may also qualify.
The amount of funding available ranges from $16 million to $18 million annually, with up to 60 awards expected. The scale of each award depends on the scope and complexity of the project, and proposals can be submitted at any time throughout the year. Awards are made on a rolling basis, depending on merit and available funds, offering flexibility for organizations at different planning stages.
The opportunity promotes broad accessibility and long-term impact, aiming to ensure that shared research infrastructure remains inclusive, adaptable, and responsive to emerging scientific needs. This makes it a valuable resource for institutions and communities looking to strengthen their contributions to biological science on a national scale.
Organizations and individuals based in Alaska who are engaged in Science, Technology Research & Development may be eligible to apply for this funding opportunity.
