Funding opportunities

You can also view a full, filterable list of funding opportunities for faculty, postdocs, and graduate students.

OSU Advantage
Deadline:
Three times per year, the OSU Advantage Accelerator seeks technology-based projects in any discipline that will move OSU-owned technologies closer to commercialization. Projects should require $15,000 or less of Accelerator Innovation and Development (AID) funding to achieve an important milestone(s) connected to commercialization.
Daiichi Sankyo - apply through Halo
Deadline:
Daiichi Sankyo is seeking diseases that can be treated effectively by inhibiting one or two proteases. The target protease(s) do not have to be expressed only extracellularly, but therapeutic efficacy must be expected by inhibiting the protease outside the cell.
Various Industry opportunities- apply through Halo
Deadline:
Halo announces 19 new collaboration opportunities with industry. These range from chemistry application to gene therapy to agriculture.
Daiichi Sankyo (through Halo)
Deadline:
Daiichi Sankyo is seeking innovative research projects that can evaluate the efficacy of gene therapies targeting specific genes in chromosomal abnormalities. Their primary interest is in research focused on Down syndrome (trisomy 21), but other conditions such as trisomy 13, trisomy 18, as well as 5p- and 4p- syndromes are also within the scope.
Apply through Halo
Deadline:
The sponsor is seeking test methods that simulate long-term microbial exposure and its impact on both coatings and substrates, to better predict the performance of protective coatings and their ability to resist microbially induced corrosion and/or biodeterioration over extended periods.
Daiichi Sankyo (through Halo)
Deadline:
Daiichi Sankyo is seeking innovative research projects that can identify and explore novel targets for gene therapy, particularly in CNS (central nervous system) and CVM (cardiovascular and metabolism) related diseases.
Daiichi Sankyo - apply through Halo
Deadline:
Daiichi Sankyo is seeking novel gene therapeutic technologies to selectively normalize or reduce the expression of abnormal repeat expansions. This includes approaches that utilize Adeno-Associated Virus (AAV)-derived nucleic acids, proteins (peptides), and regulatory factors to inhibit transcription or promote the degradation of repeat sequences.
Simons Foundation
Deadline:
Letter of Intent deadline. The aim of this program is to stimulate the development and maintenance of core scientific software infrastructure in academic environments through creating a new, long-term, faculty-level career path. Requires PhD in math, astronomy, physics where 50% of work focuses on teaching or supporting computational efforts.
Simons Foundation
Deadline:
Letter of intent due. The Simons Foundation invites applications for funding to support new research professor positions in existing academic departments, to be filled by scientific software-focused researchers.
Department of Energy and the Oak Ridge Institute for Science and Education
Deadline:
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Water Power Technologies Office (WPTO) and the Oak Ridge Institute for Science and Education (ORISE) are accepting applications for the 2025 Marine Energy Fellowship, which features one track for graduate students working on marine energy-focused research and a new post-graduate track for recent graduates advancing their careers in marine energy.
Department of Energy and the Oak Ridge Institute for Science and Education (ORISE)
Deadline:
DOE and ORISE are accepting applications for the 2025 Marine Energy Fellowship, which features one track for graduate students working on marine energy-focused research and a new post-graduate track for recent graduates advancing their careers in marine energy.
Tianqiao and Chrissy Chen Institute
Deadline:
Successful applicants will have made a fundamental advance in an empirical science that would not have been feasible without using an Al-associated technique to augment the standard repertoire of methods in that field.
National Science Foundation
Deadline:
The objective of the PACSP Program is to support conservation research that investigates organismal biology, ecology, and/or evolution and is designed to contribute to the development and implementation of evidence-based activities and/or technology solutions to advance biodiversity conservation.
Easy application through Halo
Deadline:
Halo announces 20 new partnering opportunities with several industry partners with funding up to $360k in areas such as glass strengthening, simulations models for hair/liquid interactions, periodontal disease in cats, food packaging and evaluating skin sensitivity reactions to laundry detergents.
BASF (easy apply through Halo)
Deadline:
We are looking for promising QML methods with the potential to exceed classical methods in terms of speed and accuracy. In a joint research project, we would like to evaluate the proposed QML method.

Various
This site includes postings for paid jobs, Postdoctoral Fellowships, etc from all over the country.
National Science Foundation
NSF seeks to catalyze research that leverages the full diversity and complexity of life to focus attention on the discovery of molecular and evolutionary mechanisms that have permitted organisms, over millions of years of evolution, to innovate and thrive, often in hostile and changing environments.
Graduate School
Award amounts vary based upon hardship and need but will typically not exceed $1500 per student per academic year.
OSU Departmental Opportunity
The Mehl Lab in the Biochemistry & Biophysics Department at Oregon State University is looking for multiple creative and ambitious postdocs who are interested in expanding our recent developments in genetic code expansion, protein engineering, structural biology and studies on protein post-translational modifications.
OSU Graduate School
The Graduate School offers the Scholarly Presentation Award to provide graduate students with financial support to assist with certain costs associated with presenting their scholarly work at academic conferences and meetings.
National Institute on Aging
This FOA promote diversity in the translational research workforce for Alzheimer's disease and Alzheimer's disease-related dementias (AD/ADRD).
U.S. Department of Defense
CCDC-SC is offering a novel research opportunity focusing to treat nanoparticles as giant atoms and construct new "molecules" out of them. The goal of this project is to translate this atomic level reality to nanoparticles by viewing them as atoms and generating nanoparticle "molecules" that will show new optical, electronic, mechanical, and catalytic properties.
OSU Graduate School
The Professional Development Award from the Graduate School reimburses eligible students up to $250 to pay for training, conference fees, webinars, and more.
