Funding Sources

Below is a continually updated list of OCB-relevant federal agency funding opportunities.


NATIONAL SCIENCE FOUNDATION (NSF)

NSF enables groundbreaking science with $125 million in mid-scale infrastructure investment
For decades, the U.S. National Science Foundation has funded infrastructure that allows scientists to push the frontiers of science and engineering. Agency-wide programs have supported construction of large facilities and small instruments, but until recently, NSF had no such program dedicated to mid-scale projects that fall between those categories. Mid-scale infrastructure projects enable breakthroughs that can only be achieved by this scale of investment. NSF has identified the need to fill this nationwide gap in mid-scale infrastructure and is awarding $125 million to support three new projects that address critical challenges.

Mid-scale infrastructure projects enable breakthroughs that can only be achieved by this scale of investment. NSF has identified the need to fill this nationwide gap in mid-scale infrastructure and is awarding $125 million to support three new projects that address critical challenges.

The three new facilities are:
High Magnetic Field Beamline
Global Ocean Biogeochemistry (GO-BGC) Array 
Grid-Connected Testing Infrastructure for Networked Control of Distributed Energy Resources
