Updated automatically from Atom's grant database. Summaries are AI-generated.Royal Society Funding Opportunities
Royal Society Funding Opportunities supports scientists and research leaders through fellowships and exchanges to build independent careers, develop research teams and establish international collaborations.
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.
Fellowships - Consortium for History of Science, Technology and Medicine
Fellowships - Consortium for History of Science, Technology and Medicine support researchers, doctoral candidates, and independent scholars in historical research and writing to advance scholarship.
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.
