RFA
Chan Zuckerberg Biohub — imaging & cryo-ET RFAs (recurring)
Chan Zuckerberg Initiative
- Award amount
- Varies by RFA
- Deadline
- No RFA open as of 2026-08-30. New cycles are posted at biohub.org/funding and announced on the Biohub science mailing list; the vitrification RFA ran June–July 2026, so comparable calls recur.
About this grant
The CZ Biohub (which absorbed the CZ Imaging Institute in 2026) runs recurring open RFAs in imaging and cryo-ET methods. Recent example: Accelerating Cryo-ET Through Improved Vitrification and Monitoring (up to $500,000 total costs over 2 years for vitrification methods, $250,000 for monitoring; closed July 16, 2026). Earlier CZI cycles funded visual proteomics ($27.5M), cryo-CLEM probe development, and imaging scientists at core facilities. Eligibility has consistently included international and for-profit applicants; indirect costs capped at 15%.
