Abandoned Hardrock Mine Reclamation (AHMR/AML) Grants is sponsored by Department of the Interior. The U.S. Department of the Interior has been authorized to establish an Abandoned Hardrock Mine Reclamation (AHMR) Program under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA). This program is separate and not inclusive of the Office of Surface Mining Reclamation and Enforcement’s (OSMRE) Abandoned Mine Lands Program.
Over the decades, extractive industry activities have left behind a number of underground and aboveground mines and features that pose physical safety hazards and have degraded the environment impacting local communities.
The program provides project grants to assist States, U.S. Territories, and Federally Recognized Indian Tribal Governments with mitigating the physical safety and contaminant risks associated with hardrock, non-coal abandoned mine sites and features. The AHMR Program's outcomes include enhancing public safety and improving water, soil, and air quality by reducing or eliminating the physical safety of past hardrock mining activities on State, Tribal, and private lands. This listing is currently active. Program number: 15.099. Last updated on 2025-09-12.

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.
