Economic Research Rescue Fund

Limited Submissions

Note: This is not a limited submission and is being announced as a courtesy only.

The deadline is rolling; funds are limited – grantseekers should apply as soon as possible.

The National Science Foundation (NSF) is dramatically reducing its vital support for scientific research. Principal Investigators who were conducting or facilitating economic research under a grant terminated by NSF can now apply for rescue funds to mitigate disruptions of work that promises to provide significant societal benefits.

 

 

Eligibility Requirements

To be eligible for rescue funding, a research project must:

  • Have received an NSF funding award prior to 6/1/2025
  • Had that award officially terminated, cancelled, or suspended by the NSF
  • Be economics-related, as evidenced by the inclusion of the CV of at least one practicing PhD economist in the original NSF funding application

Inquiries and Contact Information

Investigators who identify a grant, award or fellowship program that restricts the number of applications that can be submitted from an Institution should immediately contact their Chairperson, Associate Dean for Research (or Dean, if no ADR) and the Office of Research (see below) if they intend to prepare a response. Failure to do so, or to meet the deadlines for submission of pre-proposal, will preclude submission of the application through the Office of Sponsored Programs.

For general inquiries, or to request a listing of a limited submission opportunity that should be but is not already listed, please email us at limitedsubs@uw.edu.
