2026: Evidence to Action Grants
Opens Mar 23 2026 12:00 PM (EDT)
Deadline May 18 2026 05:00 PM (EDT)
Description

Summary of this Funding Opportunity:

The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine’s Gulf Research Program (GRP) aims to drive impact by transforming results and insights (evidence) from previous GRP grants into actionable changes in policy, practice, or technology acceleration. Specifically, the GRP is seeking applications by past and current GRP project directors/project team members to demonstrate and facilitate the translation of GRP-funded research results, data, and/or other forms of evidence to influence decision making in policy; design and implement or modify community or institutional programs; or accelerate deployment or commercialization of technologies. Through audience-specific deliverables such as data sets, short films, community storytelling, policy briefs, industry or government pitches, and other impact tools, this call aims to make previously supported project results more visible, accessible, and actionable.

A total of $1.9 million is available for the Evidence to Action (E2A) funding opportunity, with the number of applications being funded awards dependent on the quality and quantity of applications. Applicants must request between $50,000 and $200,000 for projects, commensurate with the scope of work, not to exceed 30 months in duration.
