MTO opened six SBIR topics on May 27 with a single June 24 close: nanopore proteomics, compact wideband tunable RF filters, 800°C-rated integrated circuits, passive thermal spreaders, radiation-hardened codesign, and low-resource computing for legacy hardware reuse. Together they map the office's bet on where U.S. semiconductor advantage gets reasserted — and which small businesses get to ride along.
Read articleUSDA's Food and Nutrition Service is running the FY 2026 SNAP Process and Technology Improvement Grants with $5 million in total funding, approximately 12 awards ranging from $20,000 to $200,000, and a June 29 application deadline. The program funds state agencies, local governments, and private nonprofits — including food banks and community-based organizations — to modernize SNAP application processing, eligibility determination, and customer communications. The pool is small but the program is the only federal vehicle that lets nonprofits, not just states, build SNAP delivery infrastructure. Here is the strategic read for nonprofit, state, and county applicants.
