NLM Library Network, ALACRITY Centers, Extreme Weather Data Center, Posted NSF Program
Three NIH forecasts and one posted NSF program, none with a listed close date. What each Grants.gov record says about funder, purpose, status and timing, and which teams may want to watch it.
This brief covers four federal funding records on Grants.gov. Three are National Institutes of Health (NIH) opportunities listed as forecasted, and one is a U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) program listed as posted [1][2][3][4]. None of the four records lists a close date, so the excerpts give no deadline to plan against [1][2][3][4]. The records also show an open date and an assistance listing number, which is the program number printed on each record [1][2][3][4].
The four records at a glance
- RFA-LM-26-003, Network of the National Library of Medicine Regional Medical Libraries, NIH, forecasted, open date 02/11/2026 [1].
- PD-23-277Y, Research Infrastructure in the Social and Behavioral Sciences, NSF, posted, open date 10/05/2023 [2].
- PAR-27-008, ALACRITY Research Centers, NIH, forecasted, open date 03/16/2026 [3].
- RFA-ES-28-003, Health and Extreme Weather Research Coordination and Data Center, NIH, forecasted, open date 06/26/2026 [4].
Network of the National Library of Medicine Regional Medical Libraries
This NIH record, listed under agency code HHS-NIH11, carries the activity code UG4 and the designation Clinical Trial Not Allowed in its title [1]. Its status is forecasted, its open date is 02/11/2026, and its assistance listing is 93.879 [1]. The title names the regional medical library network of the National Library of Medicine, which points to health sciences libraries and the institutions that host them as the most likely readers, although the record excerpt states no eligibility terms [1].
Research Infrastructure in the Social and Behavioral Sciences
This is the only posted record of the four, issued by NSF as PD-23-277Y under assistance listing 47.075 [2]. The record shows an open date of 10/05/2023 and no close date [2]. Its title describes research infrastructure in the social and behavioral sciences, so teams that build or maintain shared resources in those fields have the clearest reason to read the full listing [2].
ALACRITY Research Centers
ALACRITY stands for Advanced Laboratories for Accelerating the Reach and Impact of Treatments for Youth and Adults with Mental Illness, and the NIH record PAR-27-008 concerns research centers under that name [3]. Its status is forecasted, its open date is 03/16/2026, and its assistance listing is 93.242 [3]. The title points to mental health researchers whose work addresses how treatments reach youth and adults with mental illness; unlike the other two NIH records, the title as given carries no clinical trial designation [3][1][4].
Health and Extreme Weather Research Coordination and Data Center
RFA-ES-28-003 is an NIH record with the activity code U2C and the designation Clinical Trial Not Allowed [4]. It is forecasted, with an open date of 06/26/2026 and assistance listing 93.113 [4]. The title describes a coordination and data center for research on health and extreme weather, a role that suggests interest from groups whose strengths lie in research coordination and data management across studies rather than a single project [4].
Reading the status and dates
All three NIH records share the forecasted status and carry open dates earlier in 2026: 02/11/2026, 03/16/2026 and 06/26/2026 [1][3][4]. The NSF record is listed as posted, with an open date of 10/05/2023 [2]. A posted status alone does not establish that applications are being accepted on a given date, and because no record lists a close date, the Grants.gov page for each opportunity is the place to confirm current status and timing [1][2][3][4].
What the records do not say
The source records give no award amounts, number of awards, eligibility rules, application requirements or due dates [1][2][3][4]. They also do not describe the scientific scope beyond what each title states [1][2][3][4]. Any decision to prepare an application depends on details that only the full funding opportunity text can supply [1][2][3][4].
Limitations
This brief rests on short Grants.gov record excerpts that list title, number, agency, status, open date and assistance listing only [1][2][3][4]. The descriptions of likely audiences are readings of each title, not statements of eligibility from the funders [1][2][3][4].
