The NIA-funded Artificial Intelligence and Technology Collaboratories for Aging Research (AITCs) run a shared national pilot award competition for the 2027 cycle (AITC-ARA-27-001, released October 19, 2026).
It funds projects that build new AI tools, adapt existing technologies, or evaluate a technology's feasibility, usability, effectiveness, safety or implementation for older adults, people living with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (AD/ADRD), and their caregivers. At least 80% of funds go to AD/ADRD projects.
Non-clinical-trial awards provide up to $200,000 in direct costs over up to 24 months (about 60 awards); clinical-trial awards provide up to $300,000 (up to 5 awards). Applicants choose one of five AITCs (Duke AITC-AIGE, Johns Hopkins, Stanford, APEX-ADRD at UCLA, MassAITC) at the LOI stage. Letters of intent are due November 16, 2026 at 5 p.
m. PT; invited full applications are due January 22, 2027 at 5 p. m.

The DARPA Surgical Competition (DSC) is a $3.5 million prize challenge run by DARPA's Biological Technologies Office under 10 U.S.C. 4025. Its goal is to advance robotic and AI-enabled surgical systems that can deliver trauma care closer to the point of injury with fewer specialists available. There are two lanes. Lane 1, surgical collaboration, covers robots that assist a surgeon. Lane 2, surgical independence, covers robots performing surgical tasks with increasing autonomy. In each lane, first place wins $1 million, second $400,000, and third $100,000. Component gate prizes are $235,000 for the top Physical Capability Gate performer, $100,000 for the Rapid Learning Gate, and $75,000 for the Medical Knowledge Gate, and teams meeting each gate's minimums receive $3,000 per gate. Up to 10 teams will qualify. The qualification window runs from 11 September 2026 and closes on 13 November 2026 at 4 PM ET, with rolling review. The schedule also includes a virtual second industry day on 4 November 2026, an in-person workshop on 15-24 January 2027, and the scored competition on 20-26 March 2027. Teams are self-funded, and there is no full proposal and no cost share.
NSF's Dear Colleague Letter NSF 26-017 (published March 24, 2026, updated October 27, 2026) invites proposals that use AI and other emerging technologies to strengthen children's online safety and privacy, expand educational opportunities, support well-being, and help educators and parents, including through AI literacy and digital literacy. The DCL has no dedicated budget. Proposals are submitted through participating programs such as NSF FINDERS Foundry (NSF 26-507), which expects about 50 Planning awards of up to $50,000 and about 20 Development awards of up to $300,000 for one year, and TechAccess: AI-Ready America (NSF 26-508). Proposal titles must begin 'Empowering Children to Thrive DCL:'. The next FINDERS Foundry Development proposal deadline is November 18, 2026 at 5 p.m. submitter local time; other deadlines follow the participating solicitations.
NSF FINDERS FOUNDRY (NSF 26-507) seeks proposals that advance K-12 education through innovative, technology-driven solutions, with a strong emphasis on early artificial intelligence exposure for K-12 learners. It supports creating and scaling evidence-based practices, tools and technologies for learning and workforce development, and encourages cross-sector partnerships among schools, universities, industry, government and nonprofits. The program has two phases: Planning grants, after which only Planning awardees may submit Development proposals. Total estimated funding is $8.5 million and responses are due November 18, 2026.
On July 22, 2026 the White House announced more than $5 billion and 15-plus federal agencies behind the Genesis Mission — a national effort to point AI at the hardest problems in science. Here is what the mission actually funds, how its five National Science and Technology Challenges map to real solicitations already opening, and how a research team or small business should position for the money flowing out of it.
Read articleThe Hewlett Foundation's Emerging Technology and Security Initiative commits $20 million a year through 2031 across AI, biotechnology, and quantum computing security. Its 2026 exploratory grants went to thirteen named institutions with no open call. For organizations outside that list, the path in runs through a specific set of moves — and the five-year term starting in 2027 is the window.
Read articleOn July 22, 2026 the White House committed more than $5 billion to expand the Genesis Mission — the government-wide 'AI for science' effort — announcing 278 first projects and 14 National Science and Technology Challenges spanning health, energy, infrastructure, manufacturing, and national security. More than 15 federal agencies are contributing awards, datasets, and facilities. Here is how the pieces fit, why it reorganizes the science-funding map, and how to position for the awards flowing out of it.
