The High-Performance Computing for Energy Innovation (HPC4EI) Spring 2026 solicitation (HPC4EI-2026SP-RN-SOL) connects U.S. small- and medium-sized manufacturers with national laboratory supercomputing capacity to accelerate AI-driven materials discovery, digital twins, and AI/ML-enabled smart manufacturing. Projects funded through this solicitation accelerate development of new materials and improve manufacturing and industrial processes through artificial intelligence, machine learning, and digital simulation. Jointly funded by DOE's Advanced Materials and Manufacturing Technologies Office (AMMTO) and Industrial Technologies Office (ITO), the Spring 2026 round prioritizes AI and HPC integration aligned with DOE priorities. Project teams pair industry applicants with DOE national laboratory scientists for 6-12 month projects using HPC resources at Argonne, Oak Ridge, Lawrence Livermore, NREL, and other DOE labs. Strong fit for U.S. manufacturers seeking to deploy AI for process optimization, defect detection, digital twins, generative materials design, and predictive maintenance.
NSF TechAccess AI-Ready America is a major new initiative to establish AI-ready Coordination Hubs in every U.S. state and territory to expand access to AI knowledge tools training and capacity building. Announced March 25 2026 the initiative is a joint effort of NSF USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) Department of Labor and Small Business Administration (SBA). Each Hub will connect local partners and coordinate AI deployment scale proven approaches based on state and local priorities and address three key gaps: workforce AI literacy small business and local government AI adoption and hands-on learning pathways. Up to 56 Hubs will be funded at up to $1 million per year for three years selected through three rounds of competition. An informational webinar is scheduled for April 14 2026. This is distinct from NSF ExpandAI which focuses on institutional AI research capacity building and from NSF Expanding AI Career which targets skilled technical workforce opportunities.
The DARPA Tactical Technology Office (TTO) Office-Wide Broad Agency Announcement seeks revolutionary research ideas in autonomous systems, AI-enabled mission systems, advanced weapons, ground systems, maritime systems, and space systems. The BAA uses a two-step process: researchers first submit Executive Summaries by April 17, 2026 at 4:00 PM ET, and DARPA responds with either encouragement or discouragement before inviting full proposals on a rolling basis until June 22, 2026. Research thrusts include AI for autonomous platforms in contested tactical environments, human-machine teaming for warfighting applications, AI-enabled autonomy for unmanned ground vehicles and maritime systems, AI for collaborative space operations, and AI-enabled mission planning and battle management. Programs span basic research through prototype demonstrations.
