STAC Collaborative Research Grant Guidelines 2026 2026 CALL FOR PROPOSALS: A total of $500,000 in competitive funding is available to support a catalytic stage of interorganizational, interdisciplinary, collaborative research projects that are well positioned to attract substantial follow-on investment or have significant potential for technology development and commercialization.
LETTERS OF INTENT Due January 5, 2026 FULL PROPOSAL DEADLINE Due March 2, 2026 In 2006, STAC launched the RI Research Alliance to create a statewide platform to promote collaboration across the state’s research organizations.
Since its inception, the Alliance has awarded over $11 million in state funds through a competitive granting process with the goal of stimulating cutting-edge collaborative research projects across the State’s research institutions. These grants advance projects that are collaborative across institutions, are well-positioned to receive follow-on federal or private venture funding, and that have significant commercialization potential.
Collaborative Research Grants support teams that are expanding RI’s research capacity and pioneering our future through new ideas, technologies and innovations. The Collaborative Research Grant program provides funding to projects that focus on building research capacity across institutions and advancing the competitiveness of RI researchers to secure additional funding.
Grants are also awarded to projects that contribute to current or future economic development of the state through technology development and commercialization or demonstrate strong translational components. From 2007 through 2018, the program awarded approximately $11 million to over 75 teams throughout Rhode Island.
The funding has supported projects to design high-tech toys for children with cerebral palsy, study algae blooms, develop new nanotechnologies and improve the design of prosthetic limbs. To date, awardees have attracted over $40 million in follow-on funding from public and private sources with additional dividends expected.

Applicants must hold a PhD or equivalent research experience, be based at a UKRI-eligible UK organization, and possess relevant subject matter or methodological expertise. Government-hosted positions target early to mid-career academics, while What Works fellowships welcome all career stages. Fellows work directly with policymakers to bridge academic research and policy development on pressing national and global challenges. The application deadline is July 15, 2025.
On July 22, 2026 the White House committed more than $5 billion to expand the Genesis Mission — the government-wide 'AI for science' effort — announcing 278 first projects and 14 National Science and Technology Challenges spanning health, energy, infrastructure, manufacturing, and national security. More than 15 federal agencies are contributing awards, datasets, and facilities. Here is how the pieces fit, why it reorganizes the science-funding map, and how to position for the awards flowing out of it.
Read articleOn July 22, 2026 the White House announced more than $5 billion and 15-plus federal agencies behind the Genesis Mission — a national effort to point AI at the hardest problems in science. Here is what the mission actually funds, how its five National Science and Technology Challenges map to real solicitations already opening, and how a research team or small business should position for the money flowing out of it.
Read articleNSF just committed $380 million to build a national network of AI-programmable, remotely operated laboratories — the Programmable Cloud Laboratories Test Bed (NSF 25-541), the agency's flagship contribution to the Genesis Mission. Twenty nodes, four years, self-driving experiments in chemistry, biology and materials. Here is what it funds, who is eligible, why the 'existing facilities only' rule matters, and how researchers and companies should position for what comes next.
