National Science Foundation Astronomy Grant Program Deadline: 17 November 2025
While the continuing federal government shutdown has affected activities at funding agencies, many deadlines and processes continue to hold. In particular, relating to grant programs for the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Astronomical Sciences (MPS/AST):
- Research.gov is operational and accepting proposals. The help desk is open if proposers have questions.
- NSF IPAs (aka, “rotators”) are working during the shutdown and are available to answer factual questions.
- A number of grant programs relevant to the PhysCOS community have a deadline of 17 November 2025, including:
- Please consult NSF’s funding opportunities page for other deadlines approaching in the coming weeks.
Those who submitted Faculty Early Career Development Program (CAREER) proposals earlier this year are also able to submit proposals to AAG (and ATI) this year, with the “substantially different” assessment made by program staff when they return to work. CAREER proposals are unlikely to be reviewed prior to the 17 November 2025 deadline.
