From the Social Science Research Council:

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 societal benefits.

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

Application Deadline: Rolling; funds are limited--grantseekers should apply as soon as possible. [Program announced 7/10/25]

Award Size: Grants will range from $25K to $250K, with most awards under $50K.
