Research Grants Due This Month
Research funding opportunities with deadlines in the next 30 days, sorted by due date. A rolling list that updates daily as deadlines pass.
This is a rolling list of research grants with deadlines in the next 30 days, sorted with the soonest due date first. It updates automatically: as deadlines pass, those grants drop off, and newly posted opportunities with near-term deadlines appear.

Updated automatically from Atom's grant database. Summaries are AI-generated.Faculty for the Future Fellowships
Faculty for the Future Fellowships support women from low- and middle-income countries in STEM doctoral study and postdoctoral research abroad to advance development in their home countries.
Research Fellowship Grant - Neurosurgery Research & Education Foundation
Research Fellowship Grant supports neurosurgery residents with basic, translational, and patient-oriented clinical research and training to develop neurosurgeon-scientists and advance patient care.
ACLS HBCU Faculty Fellowships
ACLS HBCU Faculty Fellowships support HBCU faculty with research time and resources for humanities, interpretive social sciences, and teaching projects to advance scholarship and public understanding.
A 30-day window is tight but workable for the right application. Foundation letters of intent, travel and conference funding, supplements, and smaller awards can absolutely be turned around in a month, and researchers with a recycled aims page or a near-miss resubmission can sometimes meet a full deadline too. Deadlines have also become less predictable in 2026, with solicitations posting later and cycles shifting, so a recurring sweep of what closes soon catches opportunities that topic-based searching misses.
Grants labeled as forecasted are announced but not yet open, with dates that may still change, so treat those as planning targets rather than commitments. For everything else on this list, the clock is real.

Frequently asked questions
For the right opportunity, yes. Letters of intent, travel and conference awards, supplements, and smaller foundation grants can be prepared in a few weeks. Large federal applications usually need more lead time, especially if your institution requires internal review.
Most sponsored programs offices set an internal deadline several business days before the funder's deadline to review budgets and submit on your behalf. Check your institution's policy as soon as you pick a target.
A forecasted grant has been announced by the funder but is not yet open for applications. Its dates may still change, so treat it as a planning target rather than a firm deadline.
This list only includes research grants with a confirmed deadline in the next 30 days. Programs with rolling deadlines or no posted date appear in Atom's full grant search instead.
