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 Tarbell Fellowship is a full-time, hybrid program run by the Tarbell Center for AI Journalism that trains journalists to cover artificial intelligence, including AI safety, governance and accountability. Applications for the 2027-28 cohort close on 22 November 2026.
