OCRD Other Federal Agency Toolkits

The Office of Campus Research Development (OCRD) has some toolkits on myRESEARCHpath for other federal agencies. These toolkits are updated annually or as needed to conform to both agency and program-specific requirements. Contact OCRD if you are not seeing a funding opportunity of interest and for which you would like a toolkit.

Department of Energy (DOE)

DOE Early Career Research Toolkit

DOE Early Career Research toolkit (DE-FOA-0003450): The Early Career Research Program supports the development of the research programs of outstanding scientists early in their careers and the stimulation of research careers in the areas supported by the DOE Office of Science.

Upcoming deadlines: Pre-application (required): 2/18/2025, 5:00 PM ET; full application (only for "encouraged" pre-applications): 4/22/2025, 11:59 PM ET 

This toolkit is updated annually.

DOE Office of Science Graduate Student Research (SCGSR) Toolkit

DOE Office of Science Graduate Student Research (SCGSR) toolkit (program page): The SCGSR program provides supplemental funds for graduate students currently pursuing PhDs in areas of physics, chemistry, material sciences, geosciences, biology (non-medical), mathematics, engineering, computer or computational sciences, or certain areas of environmental sciences by providing PhD thesis research opportunities at a DOE National Laboratory. 

Upcoming deadline: 5/7/2025

National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH)

The list below of NEH funding opportunities was identified in collaboration with the Franklin Humanities Institute (FHI). Not all of these opportunities have toolkits created at this time. For the ones for which we have developed toolkits, you will see a link to the respective funding opportunity’s toolkit. The exception is the NEH Summer Stipends toolkit, which is only provided to the selected nominees annually. Over time, we anticipate developing toolkits for the rest of the NEH funding opportunities listed.
NEH Collaborative Research Toolkit

NEH Collaborative Research toolkit (program page): The Collaborative Research program supports a team of scholars (i.e., 2 or more scholars) working on a project to produce tangible, sustainable outcomes in one of four project categories: Planning International Collaboration, Convening, Manuscript Preparation, and Scholarly Digital Projects. 

Application available (anticipated): 8/19/2025

Upcoming deadline (anticipated): 11/19/2025

NEH Fellowships Toolkit

NEH Fellowships toolkit (program page): Fellowships provide individual scholars time to conduct research or to produce books, monographs, peer-reviewed articles, e-books, digital materials, translations with annotations or a critical apparatus, or critical editions resulting from previous research.  

Upcoming deadline: 4/9/2025

NEH Fellowships for Digital Publication

NEH Fellowships for Digital Publication (no toolkit is available yet; program page) are competitive awards granted to individual scholars to support interpretive research projects that require digital expression and digital publication.

Upcoming deadline (anticipated): 4/9/2025

NEH Summer Stipends (Limited Submission)

NEH Summer Stipends (program page) provides funding for two consecutive months, full-time, to an individual scholar to advance research and publication in the humanities. Projects can be at any stage of development but must have defined deliverables and should be of interest to humanities scholars, general audiences, or both. 

Note: This opportunity is a limited submission—toolkit will be provided directly to the nominee(s) selected. Anyone interested in the nomination must submit an internal application. See Duke Research Funding’s Summer Stipends page for more information.
