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.
Closing soonest
Updated automatically from Atom's grant databaseMentored Quantitative Research Development Award (Parent K25 Independent Clinical Trial Required)
This grant supports professionals in quantitative fields integrating their expertise with health research, providing funding and protected time for career development.
Virology & Infectious Diseases RFP Opportunities
Gilead Sciences offers funding for research advancing HIV prevention, treatment, integrated hepatitis care, and fungal disease management to improve clinical outcomes and health equity.
Independent Scientist Award (Parent K02 - Independent Clinical Trial Required)
The NIH K02 grant supports outstanding scientists with salary and protected time for independent research to enhance their careers.
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.
