Program: Compounds with biological activity against rice blast disease
Deadline: July 31, 2025
Funding Level: Not specified
Summary: Rice blast, caused by Pyricularia oryzae, is among the most significant plant diseases affecting global rice production. This pathogen causes major yield losses by damaging both leaves and shoots (neck) of the rice plant. Control strategies currently rely heavily on a limited set of fungicides, with roughly 60% of the market depending on just three FRAC groups: Triazoles (demethylation inhibitors, Group 3), Strobilurins (quinone outside inhibitors, Group 11) and Tricyclazole (melanin biosynthesis inhibitors, Group 16.1). These fungicide classes, each containing widely used and cost-effective active ingredients, are facing mounting regulatory pressure due to concerns about their environmental persistence, toxicity profiles, and long-term safety. Regulatory bans and restrictions in key markets such as the European Union are already limiting the options available to rice-exporting countries. This trend raises serious concerns about the long-term viability of current control measures and signals a growing need for more sustainable, effective, and globally compliant alternatives to manage this destructive disease. We are looking for compounds from any origin (e.g., natural extracts or synthetic molecules) with potential biological activity against rice blast.

Coastal Program staff work with partners, stakeholders, and other Service programs in important areas for conservation. They set goals and priorities for habitat conservation in these focus areas. The program has specific lists of priority species and focus areas for each U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service region. Applicants seeking technical or financial assistance from the Coastal Program are required to contact a local Program office BEFORE developing or submitting an application. You can find this information in the current strategic plan at this link or by contacting your local Coastal Program office at this link. Projects are developed collaboratively by partners and Service field staff. All Coastal Program projects must align with the missions of the U.S. Department of the Interior, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and the Coastal Program. They are also based on sound biological principles and the best available science.

Program: F25AS00228 Candidate Species Conservation Fund
Deadline: September 30, 2025
Funding Level: Not specified
Summary: Listing a plant or animal as federally protected under the Endangered Species Act (ESA) is proven to be successful in preventing extinction. However, this level of protection is America’s last line of defense. Before a species may warrant listing and protections under the ESA, many voluntary conservation opportunities can be undertaken. Voluntary actions can improve conditions for species and improve habitats for at-risk, listed, and common species alike. At-risk species conservation is the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s (FWS) initiative promoting proactive conservation of fish, wildlife, and plants with partners before the species warrant protections under the ESA. The FWS collaborates with all partners (Federal and State agencies, Tribes, private landowners, non-government organizations, and industries) across all landscapes to implement this initiative. The FWS’s at-risk species efforts are intended to encourage and support voluntary actions that proactively conserve species and their habitats. We believe that if we work with partners to improve the status of species before they come to the FWS for review under the ESA, we may be able to reduce the impact of stressors and stabilize or increase populations. Ideally, this proactive conservation work may help us avoid listing these species, thus improving species and their habitat, while simultaneously reducing regulatory burden.

Program: F26AS00014 National Outreach and Communications Program
Deadline: August 17, 2025
Funding Level: $100,000 to $5,000,000 (for local or state scope)
Summary: Healthy waters and abundant fisheries are the foundation of America’s outdoor traditions and give everyone the freedom to fish, boat, and enjoy the benefits of outdoor recreation. Participation in recreational boating and fishing are important to our nation’s economy, generating revenue for local communities and small businesses as well as larger retailers and manufacturers of boating and fishing equipment. State fish and wildlife agencies obtain revenue from the sale of fishing licenses and use these to leverage the Sport Fish Restoration and Boating Trust Fund to accomplish fisheries research and management, aquatic resource education, and boating and fishing access construction and maintenance. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) is seeking applications from eligible entities (eligible applicants) to implement the National Outreach and Communications Program (NOCP) through innovative programs that may be conducted at various geographic scales, ranging from local or state to regional or national levels. Applications must address one or more of the five purposes of an outreach and communications program, which are defined in the Sportfishing and Boating Safety Act of 1998 (16 U.S.C.777c-777g) as programs that: improve communications with anglers, boaters, and the general public regarding angling and boating opportunities; reduce barriers to access and participation in angling and boating activities; advance the adoption of sound angling and boating practices in the U.S.; promote conservation and the responsible use of the nation’s aquatic resources; and further safety in angling and boating. Funded efforts are expected to support at least one of the following key outcomes: increased participation in fishing and boating; enhanced public awareness and education about how and where to engage in these activities; targeted outreach using research-driven messaging; strengthened capacity among stakeholders to deliver effective outreach; and improved awareness of access to fishing and boating opportunities.

Summary: Ensuring the quality and stability of ice cream across production, storage, and distribution presents significant challenges. Factors such as ingredient consistency, process variations, and environmental conditions impact texture, crystallization, and shelf life. Traditional quality control methods may not provide the timely or detailed insights needed to proactively manage these complexities. To address this, General Mills is seeking instrumentation-based solutions for in-line imaging that enable the acquisition of high-resolution, multimodal data during production. These data will support computer vision models and predictive analytics already under development. The objective is to capture raw imaging data (e.g., hyperspectral, thermal, multi-spectral, RGB) that can detect variations in product structure, appearance, and stability-related properties.

Program: Interior Least Tern Monitoring on the McClellan Kerr Arkansas River Navigation System in the Little Rock Corps District
Deadline: July 25, 2025
Funding Level: $240,000
Summary: It was determined that traditional navigation and hydroelectric operations on the Arkansas River from Oklahoma to Arkansas has had detrimental effects on the ILT population. Once we understood how our actions were impacting the ILT bird population we needed to ascertain through research, how badly as well as exploring different conservation measures that would stabilize and support the remaining birds. While the data suggest that the conservation efforts are working, time, consistent monitoring and reporting is necessary for certainty, which requires continued field work. This effort will involve conducting breeding season, nest monitoring and inventorying as well as habitat assessments of the interior least terns. The research will cover monitoring at least 12 river colony locations and 3-5 rooftop colonies within the Arkansas River Valley from downstream of Wilbur D. Mills Dam at river mile (RM) 10 to roughly RM 285 of the MKARNS in Arkansas.

Program: Low-cost genotyping methods for assessing micronutrient deficiency risk
Deadline: July 31, 2025
Funding Level: Not specified
Summary: We are a global consumer health company, delivering over-the-counter products that empower individuals to take control of their health and well-being. Millions worldwide are unable to fully meet their nutritional needs, leading to fatigue, weakened immunity, cognitive impairments, and long-term health risks. Many individuals remain unaware of their deficiencies or those they have a predisposed risk to. DNA Testing offers consumers insights into genes they have that are associated with deficiencies in key micronutrients, due to the presence of Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) impacting absorption, metabolism or storage. Based on individual genetic risk, the consumer can then receive personalised nutritional or supplementation recommendations. We are looking for a low-cost genotyping technology—either lab-based or in-home—that accurately identifies SNPs associated with key micronutrient deficiencies, is compatible with non-invasive sample collection, and can be scaled for high-volume consumer testing.

Program: Monitoring Changes in Population Densities and Reproductive Success in Wading Bird Populations in the Florida Everglades for USACE Jacksonville District.
Deadline: July 27, 2025
Funding Level: $137,273
Summary: Wading birds are a dominant predator in the Everglades ecosystem and breeding population responses are considered to be integrative and reflective of many aspects of the wetland habitat; thus, wading birds have been identified as a key ecological indicator of restoration success. Restoration has been centered on several trophic hypotheses regarding wading birds (e.g., appropriate hydrologic conditions will increase fish and macroinvertebrate populations, enhanced foraging opportunities will increase wading bird breeding, and the return of freshwater flow to coastal regions will restore wading bird nesting in those areas). Without the appropriate monitoring of wading bird colonies, these hypotheses cannot be tested, the benefits of CERP may not be documented, and restoration may not achieve its goals. The spatial monitoring coverage of wading bird nesting colonies in the South Florida ecosystem has, in the past, been a patchwork effort, however, and incomplete data over a broad geographic area limits inferences about whether effects are system-wide or local. Therefore, it is necessary to monitor all “patches” of the South Florida ecosystem.

This opportunity supports research that links genetic, genomic and molecular mechanisms to neural circuit function and behavior. Applications may seek to identify any type of genomic and/or epigenomic variants that contribute to the genetic architecture of addiction, including single nucleotide variants (SNVs), indels, large and small structural variants, and all types of mobile DNA. NIDA encourages applications that take genomics, multi-omics, data-based, and/or artificial intelligence/machine learning approaches that integrate multi-level ‘omics data, delineate gene networks, and/or uncover the function of known or newly discovered genetic or epigenetic variants. Other areas of interest include variant identification at the circuit level and the application of neuroscience to variant identification studies in tissues and cells. NIDA expects these studies to uncover novel mechanisms that contribute to various stages across the SUD trajectory and inform future studies about potential targets and therapeutic strategies for addiction.

Funding Level: $50,000
Summary: We are a leading company in consumer product goods, dedicated to providing high-quality, nutritious products. Our focus is on high-meat formulations, which require precise drying techniques to maintain their nutritional value and quality. Traditional drying methods, such as hot-air drying by convection, often result in nutrient loss and undesirable changes in texture, aroma, and flavor due to extended heat processes, which negatively impact the product quality, consumer satisfaction, and production efficiency. We aim to identify novel drying solutions that can preserve the integrity of high-meat formulations while streamlining manufacturing performance by reducing production costs and lowering energy consumption. We invite innovators, researchers, and industry experts to collaborate with us and submit their groundbreaking ideas to revolutionize the drying process for high-meat pet food formulations. We are seeking technologies that can effectively reduce moisture levels to achieve shelf stability in high-meat food formulations, while preserving their nutritional value, texture, aroma, and flavor. The ideal solution should be sustainable, energy-efficient, and scalable for large-scale production.

Program: NSF 24-606: Pathways to Enable Open-Source Ecosystems (POSE)
Deadline: September 2, 2025
Funding Level: $300,000 to $1,500,000
Summary: The Pathways to Enable Open-Source Ecosystems (POSE) program aims to harness the power of open-source development for the creation of new technology solutions to problems of national and societal importance. Many NSF-funded projects result in publicly accessible, modifiable, and distributable open-source products, including software, hardware, models, specifications, programming languages, or data platforms that catalyze further innovation. In some cases, an open-source product that shows potential for wide adoption forms the basis for a self-sustaining open-source ecosystem (OSE) that comprises a leadership team; a managing organization with a well-defined governance structure and distributed development model; a cohesive community of external intellectual content developers; and a broad base of users across academia, industry, and/or government. The overarching vision of POSE is that proactive and intentional formation of managing organizations will ensure broader adoption of open-source products; increased coordination of external intellectual content developer contributions; and a more focused route to technologies with broad societal impact. Toward this end, the POSE program supports the formation of new OSE managing organizations based on an existing open-source product or class of products, whereby each organization is responsible for the creation and management of processes and infrastructure needed for the efficient and secure development and maintenance of an OSE.

Program: Rapid Outcomes from Agricultural Research
Deadline: Concept note accepted anytime (Applications due 8 weeks after invitation)
Funding Level: $150,000 (requires match)
Summary: The Rapid Outcomes from Agricultural Research (ROAR) program deploys urgent funding to support research and outreach in response to emerging or unanticipated threats to the nation’s food supply or agricultural systems. Plant and animal pests and pathogens can strike quickly, devastating crops, livestock and livelihoods. When such events occur, it often takes months to mount an effective response. Researchers must first understand these pests and pathogens before developing an effective solution. While the initial period after pest or pathogen detection is critical to stopping the threat, conventional research funding opportunities take significant time and effort to pursue. To address these outbreaks quickly, the ROAR Program funds rapid research related to response, prevention or mitigation of new pests and pathogens. ROAR’s one-year funding fills urgent research gaps until traditional, longer-term funding can be secured.
