The Army Applications Laboratory DevX Autonomy program is a continuously open solicitation seeking advanced technology solutions related to autonomy and unmanned systems for the U.S. Army. The solicitation W911NF-26-S-0040 runs from December 30, 2025 through August 31, 2026, with monthly submission cutoffs evaluated on a rolling basis.
Instead of traditional written proposals, vendors submit a 6-minute video pitch describing their solution, capabilities, and readiness. Subject-matter experts assess submissions against published criteria, and approved solutions become immediately available in a repository for government-wide award consideration.
The program accepts submissions in seven categories: Platforms (ground, sea, and air autonomous systems), Payloads (sensors and communications), Mission-Enabling Solutions (human-system integration and mission planning), Lethal Capabilities, Sustainment Solutions (maintenance for autonomous systems), Subcomponents (motors, sensors, controllers), and Disruptive Innovations (transformative autonomy technologies).
Strong solutions can move directly into contracting pathways without further competition.

DevX Autonomy serves as a repository of vetted, award-ready autonomous solutions, through a 6-minute demo video that connects innovators to government stakeholders. It fast tracks ready-to-go technology for contract and accelerates solutions to Soldiers and units for fielding.
DevX Autonomy is a streamlined acquisition platform that accelerates how the government discovers, assesses, and awards innovative technologies in autonomy and unmanned systems. The platform hosts short, award-ready vendor pitch videos that have undergone competitive assessment and meet Government requirements.
Once added, these solutions are readily awardable government-wide, allowing decision-makers to move from discovery to award in a fraction of the time it usually takes. A single 6-minute video replaces traditional proposals. Each submission is assessed by subject-matter experts under published criteria to ensure clarity and consistency.
Once deemed awardable, solutions are visible across the government and ready for rapid award under existing contracting authorities. Improvement of autonomous platforms that operate in the ground, sea, and air. Mission-specific autonomous capabilities (e.g., Sensors, Comms, or other capabilities).
Mission-Enabling Solutions Advance operations with humans and other systems (e.g., Mission Planning and prioritization). Enhance existing lethal capabilities or introduce new capabilities. Sustainment and maintenance solutions for autonomous systems.

The BAA accepts proposals on a rolling basis through September 30, 2026 and covers ONR's full spectrum of research interests with particular emphasis on AI-related topics including autonomous maritime systems, human-machine teaming, machine learning for sensor fusion, cooperative autonomous swarm technology, undersea autonomy, and AI-enabled decision superiority. Proposals can be funded through multiple mechanisms including individual investigator grants, the Young Investigator Program (~$510K over 3 years for early-career faculty), and Multidisciplinary University Research Initiative (MURI) awards ($1.5M/year for 3-5 years for research teams). ONR recommends contacting relevant program officers before submitting to discuss alignment with current research priorities. The BAA supports basic research (6.1), applied research (6.2), and advanced technology development (6.3) across the full range of naval-relevant science and engineering disciplines.
PRIMED-AI is a new NIH Common Fund programme, Precision Medicine with AI: Integrating Imaging with Multimodal Data, which combines medical imaging with other health data to build AI-powered clinical decision support tools for personalised medicine. This opportunity, RFA-RM-27-014, funds the programme's Validation Center: a dedicated hub that independently evaluates and characterises the AI-enabled, image-based multimodal clinical decision support tools developed elsewhere in the consortium. The structural logic matters for applicants. NIH has separated tool-building from tool-validation and is paying separately for the second, which signals institutional recognition that self-reported performance claims from developing teams are not sufficient evidence for clinical AI. The Center's remit covers verification, validation, interoperability and uncertainty quantification, so the deliverable is a reproducible evaluation capability rather than a set of papers. It operates as a U54 cooperative agreement, meaning NIH staff are substantively involved and the Center must work in concert with the PRIMED-AI Logistics Center and the Data-to-Model and Model-to-Clinic award recipients. The RFA was released on 30 June 2026 with applications due 2 October 2026. For academic groups that have built credible AI evaluation methodology, particularly in radiology, imaging informatics or biostatistics, this is an unusually direct route to becoming the reference evaluator for a major federal AI health programme, and the position carries influence over how clinical AI performance gets measured well beyond the life of the award.
RFA-RM-27-015 funds a single Logistics Center as the coordinating hub of the NIH Common Fund's PRIMED-AI program, Precision Medicine with AI: Integrating Imaging with Multimodal Data. The award is a cooperative agreement, meaning substantial NIH scientific and programmatic involvement is built in rather than incidental, and it is administered by NIBIB on behalf of the Common Fund. The Center operates through three integrated cores: Administration, which runs the steering committees and develops consortium policies; Evaluation, which assesses progress across the funded portfolio; and Outreach, which maintains a web portal for sharing AI-based clinical decision support tools and facilitates engagement between researchers, clinicians and patient communities. The strategic point for applicants is that this is the only coordinating award in a multi-award program whose other components, the Data-to-Model Academic-Industrial Partnerships, Model-to-Clinic and Multi-use Frameworks Playbook RFAs, are separately competed and separately funded. The Logistics Center therefore does not generate its own AI models; it is scored on its capacity to run a consortium, set data and tool-sharing policy, and build infrastructure that makes other teams' clinical decision support tools discoverable and reusable. Applications are due by 5:00 PM local time of the applicant organization on the date specified for the relevant review cycle, with an earliest project start date of 2 October 2026 and a maximum project period of five years.
NIH is carrying its emergency peer review modifications into the January 2027 Advisory Council with more than 35,000 applications in the queue. Discussion drops to 30-35 percent, the middle third becomes "competitive but not discussed" and stays eligible for funding, and the resume of discussion disappears from your summary statement. Here is what each change does to a real application.
Read articleA new Collective Action stream opens the Commonwealth Foundation's October 26, 2026 call to networks, alliances and platforms at £15,000–£20,000 a year, while individual organisations can still request up to £30,000. The lower ceiling for more partners is deliberate, and it tells you exactly what the grant is buying. Plus: the nine-month decision lag that should reshape your workplan.
