Science and technology grants for nonprofits often support research partnerships, STEM education, innovation programs, public outreach, and technical assistance. Nonprofits should confirm whether they can apply directly or need a university, public agency, or research partner.

Who should review these grants

  • STEM education and workforce nonprofits
  • Research outreach and public science programs
  • Technology access or innovation projects with eligible partners

Prepare before applying

  • Confirm the applicant and partner rules.
  • Prepare technical work plans in plain language for reviewers.
  • Build a budget that separates staff, supplies, equipment, and indirect costs.

After you win
