Grantee Section 3 Action Plan is a grant compliance document from the Kentucky Housing Corporation or associated HUD grantee that requires housing rehabilitation, construction, and public infrastructure project grantees to implement affirmative steps increasing employment and contracting opportunities for lower-income residents in Section 3 covered areas. Section 3 requirements apply to projects with HUD funds exceeding specific thresholds, and grantees must report quantitative and qualitative efforts to meet benchmarks. Eligible grantees are local jurisdictions, housing authorities, and organizations receiving HUD funding for covered housing and community development projects. This document serves as a sample action plan template for meeting federal Section 3 compliance reporting requirements.

The Department of Defense FY2026 Defense University Research Instrumentation Program (DURIP) provides funding for U.S. universities to acquire research equipment and instrumentation in areas important to national defense, including AI and machine learning hardware. The program is administered jointly by the Army Research Office (ARO), Office of Naval Research (ONR), and Air Force Office of Scientific Research (AFOSR), with approximately $34 million available and 95 awards anticipated. DURIP funds the acquisition of specialized computing hardware for AI/ML research (GPU clusters, TPUs, neuromorphic processors), robotics and autonomous systems testbeds, sensor arrays and data collection systems for machine learning training, high-performance computing infrastructure for defense-relevant AI research, and laboratory equipment for human-AI interaction studies. The program specifically supports equipment that enhances research-related education in DoD-priority disciplines. While general-purpose computing is not eligible, computing equipment directly supporting DoD-relevant AI research programs qualifies. No cost sharing is required.
