The Eric and Wendy Schmidt AI in Science Postdoctoral Fellowship funds postdoctoral researchers who apply AI and machine learning techniques to transform research in the natural, mathematical and engineering sciences. It is deliberately not an AI-methods fellowship: the target candidate is a domain scientist - in physics, chemistry, biology, materials, mathematics or engineering - who will use AI as the instrument that makes a previously intractable scientific question tractable, and applications that read as machine learning research with a scientific veneer do less well than the reverse. The fellowship runs two years and, at Oxford, covers Grade 7 salary together with research and travel expenses, computing equipment, and visa and NHS surcharge costs; other host institutions fund equivalent packages. The structure that applicants most often get wrong is that this is not a single centralised competition. Schmidt Sciences funds the programme, but applications are made to and assessed by individual host universities on their own timetables - Oxford's next submission deadline is 12:00 noon on 16 October 2026 for fellowships starting from April 2027, UC San Diego opened its 2027 cohort on 1 September 2026 with a 5 October 2026 close, and Michigan runs a separate autumn cycle. Candidates should identify the host institution and prospective supervisor first, check that specific institution's deadline, and make contact with the host group well before submitting, since most sites expect an identified sponsor.

Volunteer Organization Recovery Fund Grant – Round 3 (VORG) is sponsored by NC Division of Emergency Management. This program provides grant funding to volunteer organizations actively involved in ongoing repair and reconstruction projects for homeowners affected by Hurricane Helene in North Carolina.

Illegal Disposal Site Abatement Grant Program is sponsored by Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery. This program provides financial assistance in the form of reimbursement grants up to $500,000 to help public entities accelerate the pace of cleanup, restore sites, and turn today’s problems into tomorrow’s opportunities. Widespread illegal dumping of solid waste adversely impacts Californians in many ways. Properties on which illegal dumping occurs lose economic value; create public health and safety and environmental problems; and degrade the enjoyment and pride in the affected communities. Abandoned, idled, or underutilized properties due to unauthorized dumping impact what were once the sources of economic benefits to a community. Many such properties have been abandoned or have owners who are unable or unwilling to pay the costs of cleanup.
