The Water Research Foundation (WRF) RFP 5394 seeks research proposals evaluating the scalability, reproducibility, and impact of Generative AI (GenAI) and Agentic AI applications in the water and wastewater sector. The initiative aims to overcome barriers to AI adoption in utilities, establish guardrails for secure AI model development and cybersecurity integration, pilot GenAI applications with measurable insights and documented impacts, and catalogue existing Agentic AI uses while reproducing low-effort applications at other utilities to promote wider adoption. The research will establish cybersecurity and risk management frameworks for safe AI adoption in water infrastructure. Proposals are assessed based on innovation, feasibility, reproducibility, and potential sector-wide impact. This represents one of the first major funding calls specifically targeting generative and agentic AI applications in critical water infrastructure.

Round 6 of the Strengthening Community Colleges (SCC or SCC6) grants will fund community colleges, with a singular focus on building program and system capacity for implementing and scaling access to short-term training opportunities through Workforce Pell Grants—i.e., promoting industry-driven strategies, worker mobility, and integration with the larger state workforce system (e.g., Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) partners) for statewide impact. Questions regarding this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) may be emailed to Sarah Medley at SCC6_FOA-ETA-26-40@dol.gov. We encourage prospective applicants and interested parties to use the Grants.gov subscription option to register for future updates provided for this particular FOA. Funding Opportunity Number: FOA-ETA-26-40. Assistance Listing: 17.280. Funding Instrument: G. Category: ELT. Award Amount: $6.5M – $10.8M per award.

The Office of Nuclear Energy’s (NE) mission is to advance nuclear energy science and technology to meet U.S. energy, environmental, and economic needs. NE has identified the following goals to address challenges in the nuclear energy sector, help realize the potential of advanced technology, and leverage the unique role of the government in spurring innovation: • Keep existing U.S. nuclear reactors operating; • Deploy new nuclear reactors; • Secure and sustain our nuclear fuel cycle; and • Expand international nuclear energy cooperation. NE conducts crosscutting nuclear energy research and development (R&D) and associated infrastructure support activities to develop innovative technologies that offer the promise of dramatically improved performance for its mission needs as stated above, while maximizing the impact of NE resources. NE strives to promote integrated and collaborative research conducted by national laboratory, university, industry, and international partners under the direction of NE’s programs; deploy innovative nuclear energy technologies to the market; and optimize the benefits of nuclear energy. All applications submitted under this CINR Phase II Continuation NOFO must demonstrate a strong tie to at least one of these four mission priorities and highlight how they support DOE priorities. • NE is seeking CINR Phase II Continuation applications from U.S. universities to conduct nuclear energy-related research to help meet the objectives of the major NE funded research areas. • The NOFO is focused on continuing promising research pathways by soliciting applications that directly complement and extend research that has previously been awarded research through NEUP. • CINR awarded projects, including R&D and IRPs, that conclude between January 1, 2026, and September 30, 2026, are eligible to apply. Nuclear Science User Facilities (NSUF) Access Only projects are NOT eligible to apply to this funding opportunity. Instead, they should apply to the NSUF Access Only process under the separate FY 2026 CINR NOFO for additional access to NSUF capabilities. Funding Opportunity Number: DE-FOA-0003539. Assistance Listing: 81.121. Funding Instrument: G. Category: EN. Award Amount: Up to $1.2M per award.
