Lewis-Burke Releases October 2025 Federal Founding Opportunities Compendium
Lewis-Burke Associates has shared their 2025 Overview of Federal Funding Opportunities for the Behavioral and Social Sciences, Arts, and Humanities. The report is posted on the BU Federal Relations website (Kerberos required). The 2025 edition notes this year’s significant changes at the National Endowments for the Arts and Humanities, National Science Foundation, National Institutes of Health, and elsewhere.
While not exhaustive, the overview provides information on a wide range of federal agencies and programs, including program changes and terminations. Interested investigators should check individual solicitations for details, as deadlines may quickly approach. Further, investigators may use this document to identify relevant programs and develop proposals and strategies for federal agency engagement.
Lewis-Burke is a full-service government relations firm specializing in advocacy and public policy for higher education and research. They are happy to discuss these programs and answer any questions. BU’s office of Federal Relations will continue to provide agency and programmatic updates, in real time, to ensure those interested are prepared to adapt to emerging priorities and funding streams.
