The ARM Institute released this technology project call on October 20, 2026 to strengthen the U.S. Navy shipbuilding industrial base. It seeks two projects. The first is an adaptive welding system that uses edge-compute AI for multi-bead, multi-layer welding of thick-section naval joints and compensates for variation in joint fit-up.
The second is in-process volumetric inspection for wire directed energy deposition, run between layers to catch defects during a build. Proposals are due November 23, 2026, and supporting documents December 2, 2026. Selections are expected around December 9, 2026, with projects starting by January 31, 2027 and ending January 31, 2029.
The call is public, but only ARM Institute members can submit proposals. Funding amounts and cost share are set out in the separate Project Call document.

Incubator Week is a five-day, all-expenses-paid program in San Francisco run by BlueDot Impact for founders working on catastrophic risks from AI and related technologies, including AI safety, biosecurity and cybersecurity. Cohort 6 runs from 16 to 20 November 2026. On day one, participants build threat models and identify the leading experts in their problem area. Days two and three are for building and testing interventions, consulting experts and stress-testing assumptions with the cohort. Day four is for refining the pitch, and on day five participants pitch for funding. BlueDot funds immediate needs on the spot, and strong progress can unlock a full grant of up to $200,000 within two weeks. No polished idea is required. The Manifund AI Safety Funder Bulletin lists the application deadline as 11 November 2026, though the program page itself does not state a deadline. It suits technically serious people ready to leave their current work to start a new AI safety organization or project.
The K-12 AI Infrastructure Program, run by Digital Promise with Learning Data Insights, DrivenData, Georgetown University's Massive Data Institute and Catalyst @ Penn GSE and funded by the Gates Foundation, released this request for proposals on 7 October 2026. It will fund up to two awards of up to $600,000 each from a $1 million pool. Grantees will build an openly licensed package of tools, workflows and documentation, such as a reference architecture, harness or starter kit, that helps developers explore, test and integrate education-specific digital public goods into AI-enabled formative assessment products. Phase 1 focuses on coordination between teachers and classroom AI tools, giving teachers more visibility into and control over AI. Proposals must cover at least four teacher-AI coordination tasks, engage at least three AI developers and include a classroom demonstration, and most funded work must serve third-party developers rather than end users. Code must be released under MIT or Apache 2.0 and datasets under CC-BY-4.0. The grant period is 18 months in three phases of about six months, starting 1 February 2027. This is a separate, narrower solicitation from the program's March 2026 first grant cycle. Proposals are due 20 November 2026 at 11:59 p.m. Anywhere on Earth.
The K-12 AI Infrastructure Program released this request for proposals on October 7, 2026. It funds an openly licensed package of tools, workflows and documentation, such as a harness, reference architecture or starter kit, that helps developers build education-specific public goods into AI-enabled formative assessment products. The aim is to coordinate the work of teachers and AI tools so teachers can see, control and monitor the AI used in their classrooms. Proposals must name at least four tasks that improve teacher-AI coordination, engage at least three AI developers and include a classroom demonstration application. Most of the effort must serve third-party developers rather than end users. Code must be MIT or Apache 2.0 licensed and datasets CC-BY-4.0. Up to two awards of up to $600,000 each will be made from a $1 million pool. Projects run 18 months in three phases starting February 1, 2027. Proposals are due November 20, 2026 at 11:59 p.m. Anywhere on Earth. This is a separate round from the program's earlier formative assessment, EDU AI and benchmarks RFPs.
The Labor Department's RESTART grants closed April 15, but the $81 million program is a map, not just a deadline. Up to 20 awards, $5.1M ceilings, and a priority list — AI infrastructure, nuclear, advanced manufacturing, domestic minerals — that signals the shape of the next workforce funding cycle. Here is how to read it and position for what comes next.
Read articleThe FY2026 federal funding map has tilted hard toward AI, critical minerals, energy, advanced manufacturing, and workforce development — while a new layer of political review asks whether each award advances administration priorities. Here is a strategic map of where the money is moving, and how to position a proposal for the new alignment screen without distorting the work.
