NSF program ASCENT-Address-Chalg-Eng-Teams (133Y00): 27 awards, $28.8M to 27 organizations

27 NSF awards ($28.8M) under the program element ASCENT-Address-Chalg-Eng-Teams (133Y00) to 27 organizations, fiscal years 2022 to 2026, read 2026-11-03.

SpecStream is the live web data engine for teams and agents. It reads the NIH and NSF award files each time the agencies update them, and this page is that reading, joined to the open federal funding opportunities on Grants.gov. Ask for the awards you track by topic, organization or state and new awards arrive in your sheet, CRM, Slack or agent as the agencies publish them.
