Rubberized Pavement Grant Program is sponsored by Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery. The purpose of the grant is to promote markets for Rubberized Asphalt Concrete (RAC) products with crumb rubber derived from only California-generated waste tires to resurface roads using RAC Hot-Mix or Chip Seal applications. The program is designed to encourage first-time users of rubberized pavement. Parking lots and alleys are eligible. However, it is not recommended for these applications due to the resilient nature of the material. An application may include rubberized pavement (hot-mix and chip seal) projects for roadways, Class 1 bikeways [as defined in Streets and Highways Code section 890.4(a)], greenways, and disability access at parks. A greenway is a travel corridor for pedestrians, bicycles, non-motorized vehicle transportation, recreation, or a combination thereof, located along natural landscape features, such as an urban watercourse. State agencies are eligible only for projects for Class 1 bikeways, greenways, and disability access at parks. All projects are subject to the following requirements: · The grantee will construct one or more Rubberized Asphalt Concrete (RAC) Hot-Mix or Rubberized Chip Seal project(s) at the location(s) specified in the approved grant application, unless otherwise approved by the Grant Manager. · Only California-generated waste tires that are processed in California shall be used in the crumb rubber portion of the project(s). Recycled end-of-life crumb rubber that meets all specifications and standards can be used, as appropriate with prior written permission from the Grant Manager. · The project(s) must be located in California. · Projects must be owned and maintained by the applicant and accessible to the general public. · Reimbursement will not exceed the amount stated on the Grant Agreement Cover Sheet (CalRecycle 110). · Construction of the RAC portion of any project must commence on or after the date indicated in the Notice to Proceed and be completed by April 1, 2029. · The binder material must contain a minimum of 300 pounds (equivalent to 15 percent by weight) of the tire-derived crumb rubber per ton of rubberized binder. The binder may be either asphalt rubber/field blend or terminal blend.

This is the first SBIR/STTR Phase I release tied explicitly to DOE's Genesis Mission, the department's AI-for-science initiative, and it is aimed squarely at small businesses rather than national labs or universities. DOE announced it on 22 July 2026 with a USD 10,000,000 Phase I pool and roughly 40 anticipated awards, which works out to about USD 250,000 per company. Four topic areas define the scope, and all four are AI-for-science rather than AI-in-general: Scaling the Biotechnology Revolution, which covers advanced AI for biotechnology including biomolecular design, genotype-phenotype relationships, predictive microbiome engineering and accelerated bioreactor and biomanufacturing design; Realizing Quantum Systems for Discovery, covering AI for quantum computing and networking; Designing Materials with Predictable Functionality; and Achieving AI-Driven Autonomous Laboratories. Two features of the process matter more than the dollar figure. First, the programme has been redesigned and moved to the DOE Office of Technology Commercialization running through the ConnectWerx application hub, which DOE describes as streamlining delivery and reducing applicant burden. Second, it uses a two-stage gate: companies must first submit a short Pitch application, and only those invited after Pitch review may submit a full application. That front-loads the competition into a brief document and rewards teams who can state a commercial thesis crisply. Pitch applications are due 10 September 2026 at 2:00 PM ET. DOE has also signalled that an additional Phase I opportunity will open in fall 2026, so companies that miss this window have a near-term second shot.

Nonprofit Security Grant Program is sponsored by Commonwealth of Pennsylvania (PCCD). This program provides grants to nonprofit organizations in Pennsylvania that primarily serve individuals, groups, or institutions targeted by hate crimes. Funding can be used for security enhancements to protect facilities and the people they serve. This aligns with community event safety planning by enhancing the security infrastructure of venues where events may be held.
