AFSP awards nine types of grants, including Pilot Innovation Grants ($50,000 over two years), Postdoctoral Research Fellowship Innovation Grants ($140,000 over two years), and three types of three-year, $1.5M Research Focus Grants.

Letters of intent are typically due in early August, invited proposals in November.
