Schmidt Sciences' AI in Science and Society initiative funds development of innovative AI tools that accelerate progress in engineering, physical sciences, and complex system design while also examining AI's societal implications. Funded scope includes domain-adapted foundation models for engineering and physical sciences, generative AI for materials discovery and molecular design, AI for complex system simulation and control, autonomous experimental platforms, and interdisciplinary projects bridging AI methods with deep scientific domains. The program also supports work on the societal context of scientific AI including responsible release, equitable access, and human-AI collaboration in scientific practice.
The AI2050 Early Career Fellows program supports bold and ambitious work on difficult challenges as well as promising opportunities in AI. Fellows receive funding plus non-monetary support, such as connections to stakeholders to help them amplify impact. The program selects 15-20 early-career researchers around the world annually through a rigorous process. Research is framed by the central question: 'It's 2050. AI has turned out to be hugely beneficial to society. What happened?' Recent cohorts have included researchers across computer science, philosophy, economics, political science, earth sciences, and humanities working on AI safety, AI policy, fairness, AI for science, sociotechnical AI, and human-AI interaction. The 2025 round awarded $18M across 25 fellows.
NSF 26-516 folds Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences, Earth Sciences and Ocean Sciences into a single GEO Core solicitation: $110 million, 200 to 350 awards, proposals accepted anytime. Geosciences piloted no-deadline review nine years ago and knows what it does to submission volume. Here is the per-award math, the ship-time and permitting traps, and the two-year data-archive clock that now governs every award.
Read articleThe Department of Energy's Office of Critical Minerals and Energy Innovation is spending to break America's 95% dependence on foreign rare earths. The strategy is unusual: recover critical materials from the waste streams of coal plants, smelters, and refineries that already exist. Here is the full funding architecture — the $75M just awarded, the $500M battery-materials round, the $1B pipeline behind them — and how an industrial operator should position for what comes next.
