National Science Foundation Fostering Interdisciplinary Networks to Develop Emergent and Responsive Solutions Foundry (NSF FINDERS FOUNDRY)

Minor editorial change to the archive_date field: the value is the same, December 18, 2026 at 05:00 UTC. Only the timestamp format changed, from ISO style ("2026-12-18T05:00:00+00:00") to a space-separated style ("2026-12-18 05:00:00+00:00").

• Shift size: none, 0 days and 0 hours.
• Time to respond: applicants have neither more nor less time than before.

No action is needed. Note that the archive date is when the listing moves to archived status. It is not the application deadline, so check the close date field for the actual submission cutoff.

Title: Added acronym "(NSF FINDERS FOUNDRY)" to the end for clarity and consistency.

Eligibility Description: Minor editorial changes—removed HTML formatting tags and cleaned up spacing/punctuation in the "Who May Serve as PI" section. The substance of eligibility requirements remains unchanged: the same three stakeholder groups (K-12 educators, technologists, researchers) must be represented on leadership teams, the same organization types may submit, and PI degree requirements remain waived.

Why it matters: These are cosmetic updates that do not affect who can apply or proposal requirements. Applicants should rely on the substantive eligibility rules, which have not changed.

Minor editorial changes

The archive_date field was reformatted from ISO 8601 timestamp format (with timezone offset) to a standard datetime format, but the actual date and time remain unchanged at December 18, 2026, 5:00 AM UTC. This is a technical correction with no impact on applicant deadlines or opportunity availability.
