Looking for NSF resources beyond PREM? The NSF Division of Materials Research is a strong starting point for materials-focused funding, facilities, and program information, while REU, GRFP, and NRT offer useful pathways for students and early-career researchers; faculty may also want to bookmark CAREER, MRI, proposal guidance, and Award Search.
For faculty, a few especially useful links include CAREER for early-career faculty, MRI for major research instrumentation, and NSF’s Preparing Your Proposal and Award Search pages for proposal guidance and examples of previously funded projects. DMR’s Research Facilities page is also worth a look for information on shared national facilities and instrumentation.
For students, NSF’s REU pages are a strong starting point for undergraduate research opportunities, while GRFPremains one of the most important fellowship programs for graduate students pursuing research-based STEM degrees. Graduate students may also benefit from NRT and INTERN, which support training and professional development, including non-academic research internships connected to active NSF awards.
