Solicitation details, issuing organization, response deadlines, documents, and interested companies for this government contract opportunity.
AI Contract Overview
The National Science Foundation Directorate for Engineering is soliciting proposals for the Chemical, Bioengineering, Energy, and Transport Systems program under solicitation number 26-518. This initiative supports foundational engineering research across four primary areas: Chemical Process Systems for fuels and materials, Engineering Biological and Biomedical Systems for biological function control, Energy, Water, and Resource Engineering for resource management, and Transport Phenomena for modeling mass and energy transport. The agency is specifically seeking intellectually ambitious and transformative research that does not necessarily require immediate commercial outcomes or near-term product deployment. While the portfolio will include a variety of award budgets and durations, these are subject to the availability of funds. Interested parties should note the response deadline of August 14, 2026.

Full Description
The U.S. National Science Foundation Directorate for Engineering (NSF ENG) supports foundational engineering research for chemical, bioengineering, energy, and transport systems through the following programs:
- The Chemical Process Systems (CPS) program supports foundational engineering research in chemical and biochemical processes for chemicals, fuels, energy, and materials.
- The Engineering Biological and Biomedical Systems (EBBS) program supports foundational engineering research on platforms, devices, organisms, tissues, and processes that advance knowledge and control of biological functions.
- The Energy, Water, and Resource Engineering (EWRE) program supports foundational engineering research to manage energy, water, minerals, and material resources.
- The Transport Phenomena (TP) program supports foundational engineering research to understand, model, and control the transport of mass, momentum, energy, and species across multiple scales.
NSF ENG anticipates a portfolio of ENG: Chemical, Bioengineering, Energy, and Transport Systems (CBET) awards with a range of budgets and durations. Estimated program budget, number of awards, and average award size/duration are subject to the availability of funds.
NSF ENG is particularly interested in intellectually ambitious and potentially transformative foundational research. Proposals need not promise a near-term product, deployment, or commercial outcome, nor need they address later-stage development to be competitive.
