New: ASTDA Small Project Assistance Applications open now!

The Small Project Assistance (SPA) program provides limited, short‑term funding to help early‑career investigators and practitioners advance a clearly defined project. SPA awards are designed to remove practical barriers—supporting pilot work, targeted analyses, or skill‑building activities that generate momentum, preliminary data, or a completed project milestone.

Applications are due July 1, 2026. Read more about this opportunity and find out how to apply here.
