New Research Grants This Month
Research grants and fellowships newly added in the last 30 days, across federal agencies, foundations, and societies. A rolling list that updates daily.
This is a rolling list of research funding opportunities added to Atom in the last 30 days. As funders post new programs and reopen annual cycles, they appear here first; after a month they roll off to make room for the next batch.
Newly added
Updated automatically from Atom's grant database. Summaries are AI-generated.Scientific Fellowships for Master, PhD, and Medical Students
Scientific Fellowships for Master, PhD, and Medical Students support students through international research and placements that complement their studies, develop skills, and build international relationships.
Fellowships for Stanford Faculty
Fellowships for Stanford Faculty support Stanford scholars’ residential research in the humanities and interpretive social sciences to advance scholarly projects and interdisciplinary exchange.
Field Science Fellowship
Field Science Fellowship supports UC undergraduate-faculty teams with student stipends and project funding for research at UC Nature reserves, expanding access to hands-on field science.
New listings are where the best odds hide. A program that just opened gives you the full runway to plan an application, and newly launched funding programs often draw fewer applicants in their first cycle than established competitions with years of name recognition. Funding calendars have also become less predictable in 2026, with some programs posting later than usual and new private programs launching mid-year, so checking what is new catches opportunities that a once-a-year search misses.
The list below is ranked by relevance to academic research, so it favors grants and fellowships for faculty, postdocs, and scholars over the broader flow of community and infrastructure funding. Grants labeled as forecasted are announced but not yet open.

Frequently asked questions
Every grant here was added to Atom in the last 30 days. After a month, grants roll off this list but stay searchable in Atom's full grant database.
A new posting gives you the full runway to prepare, and first-cycle programs often receive fewer applications than long-established competitions.
Most are. Some are forecasted, meaning the funder has announced the program but has not opened applications yet. Forecasted grants are labeled.
No. It is ranked for academic research, so it favors grants and fellowships for faculty, postdocs, and scholars over community, infrastructure, and nonprofit program funding.
