Read articleAFOSR's open Broad Agency Announcement — the single front door to Air Force basic research funding — closed on March 23, 2026 for mandatory review under Executive Order 14332, and proposals submitted in its final week must be resubmitted to a replacement that has no posted date. Meanwhile NRL's Long Range BAA takes white papers only through September 30, and the Air Force's new $99 million command-and-control BAA runs to 2028 with a March 15, 2027 white paper date for FY28 money. A field guide to the rolling-solicitation channel while it is in flux.
Read articleAmerica's Seed Fund powered by NSF reopened for FY2026 with two parallel solicitations: NSF 26-510 for deep technologies and a new pilot, NSF 26-511, dedicated to scientific instrumentation. Project Pitch is the mandatory first gate, the first full-proposal deadline is July 27, 2026, and Phase I runs up to $305K. Here is how the topic-agnostic NSF model differs from agency-directed SBIR — and how to use the new pilot.
