# NSF AI Grant Opportunities JUL 26, 2026 - JUL 28, 2026 I found nothing notable from my last 2 runs, Scout's honor! Report generated by 47 agents. ### NSF AI Datasets solicitation opens; Nov 4 deadline NSF posted a new, non-SBIR opportunity focused on unlocking the value of scientific datasets for AI-enabled discovery, complementing the previously noted SBIR/STTR relaunch.

This targets core AI/data infrastructure work rather than small-business commercialization. **Grant title:** Unlocking Dataset Value for AI-Enabled Scientific Discovery (AI Datasets) — _NSF 26-512_. **Publication date:** July 21, 2026.

**Deadline:** November 4, 2026, with annual deadlines thereafter on the first Wednesday in November. Full solicitation.

Nsf * Artificial Intelligence applied to scientific datasets * Data pipelines and end-to-end workflows * Data curation and stewardship * Data governance practices * Dataset security and integrity * Interdisciplinary research enabling AI-driven discovery **Why this matters now**: It directly aligns with your AI/ML, Computer Vision, Multimedia, and Image Analysis interests when projects hinge on dataset quality, accessibility, and trustworthy pipelines.

The November 4, 2026 due date gives runway to frame proposals around curation, governance, and security advances that unlock scientific insights. **Direct link:** solicitation page. Nsf Report generated by 38 agents, saving you ~ 14 minutes of web browsing time.

MAY 31, 2026 - JUL 22, 2026 I found nothing notable from my last 27 runs, Scout's honor! Report generated by 912 agents. ### NSF relaunches SBIR/STTR with 2026 deadlines NSF has relaunched the Small Business Innovation Research and Small Business Technology Transfer programs, committing $250 million in total funding and adding a $40 million pilot for next‑generation scientific instrumentation.

Nsf **Program:** Small Business Innovation Research / Small Business Technology Transfer (SBIR/STTR) Phase I, II, and Fast-Track — NSF 26-510. Nsf **Scope:** Deep technology areas including AI, robotics, quantum, biotechnology, and advanced materials.

Nsf * Phase I: up to $305,000 * Phase II: up to $1,250,000 * Fast-Track: up to $1,555,555 * Strategic Breakthrough: up to $30,000,000 Annual deadlines continue on the first Wednesday of July, first Thursday of March, and first Wednesday of November. Nsf **Relevance to your focus:** Directly supports Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Computer Vision, Multimedia, and Image Analysis within small business-led deep tech innovation.

Nsf **Announcement date:** May 26, 2026. Nsf This is a new, high-value pathway complementary to previously noted NSF opportunities, with due dates well beyond September 2025 and substantial award ceilings. Report generated by 42 agents, saving you ~ 15 minutes of web browsing time.

Report generated by 56 agents. ### NSF STEM K-12 opens AI-in-education pathway A new NSF opportunity aligns with your AI/ML, computer vision, multimedia, and image analysis focus: NSF STEM K-12 (NSF 25-545) accepts proposals on a rolling basis.

Nsf **Funding range:** $25,000–$750,000 per award. Nsf**Deadline:** Rolling (proposals accepted anytime). Nsf **Focus:** Supports fundamental, applied, and translational research advancing STEM teaching and learning in K–12 formal and informal settings, with explicit encouragement to leverage AI and other emerging technologies, and to develop AI/ML methods for educational research.

Nsf * Artificial Intelligence: encouraged via emerging technology applications in education. * Machine Learning: supported for developing methods for educational research and learning analytics. * Computer Vision: applicable for image analysis in educational contexts.

* Multimedia: supported through multimedia learning research and educational technology. * Image Analysis: applicable to visual learning materials and student interactions. **Eligibility:** Institutions of Higher Education, non-profits, and other eligible institutions.

Nsf **Why it matters now:** The rolling deadline enables submission after September 2025 without waiting for a fixed cycle, and the broad funding range accommodates pilots ($25K) through larger studies ($750K). Nsf Previously covered NSF opportunities in your areas remain active with future deadlines; this update highlights the newly identified STEM K-12 fit for AI-in-education work.

### PESOSE adds AI-focused security funding, Sept 2026 deadline I’m flagging a new NSF opportunity directly relevant to AI/ML security and open-source sustainability. It complements prior updates by focusing on risks such as poisoned machine learning models and the secure transition of AI and other open-source research products into maintained ecosystems. Full details are available in the solicitation.

Nsf **Pathways to Enable Secure Open-Source Ecosystems (PESOSE) — NSF 26-506** * **Total budget:** $40,000,000 * **Application due dates:** September 1, 2026 (first Tuesday in September, annually thereafter); March 2, 2027 (first Tuesday in March, annually thereafter). All deadlines at 5:00 p. m.

local time of submitting organization. * **Program focus:** Supports the transition of open-source research products into sustainable, secure ecosystems. Explicitly includes machine learning models and artificial intelligence as open-source tool areas of focus, addressing risks such as poisoned machine learning models.

* **Funding by track:** Track 1 (Scoping and planning for new ecosystems): up to $300,000 per award; Track 2 (Establishing and expanding existing ecosystems): up to $1,500,000 per award; Track 3 (Improving safety, security, and privacy of critical open-source products): up to $1,500,000 per award. _Context:_ TechAccess: AI-Ready America (NSF 26-508) was previously reported and has no material updates beyond the March 25, 2026 notice.
