Federal Funding Opportunities
There are thousands of federal funding opportunities. The National Science Foundation alone has an annual budget of over $7 billion and offers more than 12,500 funding opportunities each year.
This document lists the multitude of funding opportunities offered by federal agencies that provide stimulus to the bioeconomy. They are organized by each of the nine Technology Readiness Levels (TRLs) that new ideas must travel – from initial concept up to commercial introduction.
These funding opportunities are the ones on behalf of which AFCC advocates. That' because they are essential to the Nation’s ability to support innovation; introduce new technologies, products and services into the marketplace; enhance American's lives; and strengthen U.S. competition and global leadership.

Agriculture
FY2020
Appropriations
Dear Colleague letters were sent by House and Senate members to the chairs and ranking members of the agriculture appropriations subcommittees expressing strong support for robust funding of the USDA's energy programs.
06
Defense
Appropriations
All Defense programs of interest to AFCC were fully funded in the budget sent to Congress by the Administration; the large increase in the Defense budget proposed by the Administration -- for the third year in a row -- allowed for House and Senate compromises that increased the amount of funding devoted to domestic programs, which allowed the programs of importance to AFCC to be funded at prior year or greater levels.
