About grants for science research
Grants for science research fund basic and applied research, fellowships, and education across the sciences, engineering, and mathematics. The U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) and the National Institutes of Health (NIH) are the largest federal funders, while private funders include the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation and Research Corporation for Science Advancement. These awards support universities, research institutions, nonprofits, and individual scientists.
A long list is the starting point, not the shortlist. Our grant prospecting guide shows how to narrow grants for science research down to the funders most likely to say yes, using their giving records.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much money do grants for science research award?
Of the 6,443 grants for science research Grantable lists as of October 7, 2026, 3,628 publish an award amount. The median listed award is $25K, and the middle half fall between $3,500 and $125K. The largest is $10M. Amounts are each grant's stated maximum, so a typical award can be smaller.
Which funders offer the most grants for science research?
By number of active listings, the leading funders are National Institutes of Health (518), Society of Toxicology (103), U.S. National Science Foundation (89), American Chemical Society (78), and American Physical Society (78). In all, 2,028 funders have at least one active grant in this category.
When are grants for science research due?
Of 6,443 grants listed, 60 accept applications on a rolling basis, 632 have a published upcoming deadline, 919 run on a stated cycle (such as annual or quarterly) without a published date, and 4,832 don't publish a deadline, so check the funder's site. Among dated deadlines, 43% fall in October–December.
What grants are available for science research?
Science research grants fund basic and applied research, graduate fellowships, instrumentation, and STEM education. NSF offers hundreds of opportunities — including grants, cooperative agreements, and fellowships — across science and engineering, and NIH funds biomedical and health research. Private funders like the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation support targeted research programs and early-career fellowships.
Who funds scientific research in the U.S.?
The largest funders are federal agencies — the National Science Foundation and the National Institutes of Health — which together provide a major share of academic research support. Private foundations such as the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation and Research Corporation for Science Advancement fund additional research and fellowships, and many fields have discipline-specific societies and corporate sponsors. The right source depends on your field and whether you need research, equipment, or fellowship funding.
Are there grants for early-career scientists and students?
Yes. NSF runs the Graduate Research Fellowship Program for students pursuing research-based master's and doctoral degrees, and the Sloan Research Fellowships support early-career scientists. Many agencies and societies reserve funding tracks for postdocs, new investigators, and underrepresented researchers. Eligibility usually depends on career stage and institutional affiliation, so check each program's requirements before applying.
