Grants
Society significantly benefits from scientific research, but it wouldn’t be possible without generous contributions from public and private sources.
This page is a testament to that support. With it, Northeastern’s College of Science has cultivated a dynamic landscape of research activity. Through a culture that emphasizes entrepreneurship, our exceptional faculty, staff, and student researchers are able to maximize the impact of their work.
The grants listed below are a preview of the science and scientists of tomorrow, who probe single cells, the outer limit of particle physics, and everything in between.
