The Counter-Unmanned Aircraft Systems (C-UAS) Grant Program, newly established under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act of 2025 and administered by DHS/FEMA, provides $500 million to enhance state and local capabilities to detect, identify, track, monitor, and mitigate unmanned aircraft systems.
Eligible governments may acquire UAS detection, identification, monitoring, tracking, and mitigation (DIMT-M) technologies, which increasingly rely on AI and machine learning for autonomous drone detection, classification, sensor fusion, and threat tracking to protect the public and critical infrastructure.
FY2026 funding of $250 million (Tier 1) is prioritized for 11 states hosting FIFA World Cup 2026 and America 250 events, with the remaining $250 million in FY2027 distributed nationally.

The NEH Humanities Research Centers on Artificial Intelligence program funds the creation of university-based humanities research centers focused on the ethical, legal, and societal implications of artificial intelligence. Funded centers undertake interdisciplinary humanities-led research that brings ethics, law, history, philosophy, anthropology, religious studies, literature, linguistics, and cultural studies to bear on questions raised by AI systems. Topics include responsible AI governance frameworks, AI and civil rights, AI and labor, cultural impact of generative AI, AI and creative authorship, philosophical foundations of machine reasoning, history of AI thought, and humanistic evaluation of AI safety and alignment. Centers are expected to convene researchers, train new humanities scholars in AI, host public-facing programming, and produce publications and translational tools that inform policy and public understanding. Strong fit for universities seeking to launch sustained interdisciplinary AI humanities research programs in partnership with computer science and other STEM departments.
NSF SaTC 2.0 (Security Privacy and Trust in Cyberspace) is the largest open solicitation for university-led cybersecurity research in the federal portfolio now expanded with AI security as an explicit priority area. The 2.0 reboot added generative AI security open-source software security quantum computing security and supply chain security as topics of interest addressing the bidirectional role of AI as both a cybersecurity threat and a defensive tool. Research awards support adversarial machine learning and attacks on AI systems AI weaponization against people information and systems privacy-preserving machine learning and responsible AI use for detecting and responding to cyber threats. The program funds three award types: Research awards up to $1.2M for four years Education awards up to $500K for three years and Seedling awards up to $300K for two years through Dear Colleague Letters. Proposals are accepted on a recurring annual basis with two windows per year. This is distinct from NSF CyberAICorps which focuses on scholarship and workforce development and from NSF AIMing which focuses on AI formal methods and mathematical reasoning.
The Air Force Research Laboratory Information Directorate's Geospatial Intelligence Processing and Exploitation (GeoPEX) Broad Agency Announcement, FA8750-21-S-7006, is an open two-step BAA soliciting white papers for research, development, integration, test, and evaluation of technologies and techniques to provide geospatial intelligence (GEOINT) in all its forms and from whatever source, including imagery, imagery intelligence, and geospatial data. Explicit focus areas include AI/ML techniques for full-spectrum GEOINT, multi-INT data fusion, cloud-based high-performance computing for geospatial analytics, photogrammetry, computer vision for overhead imagery, automated target recognition, change detection, multi-modal foundation models for geospatial data, and edge AI for tactical reconnaissance. The BAA is open and effective until 30 September 2026 with rolling white paper submission; only white papers are accepted as initial submissions and formal proposals are accepted by invitation only. Strong fit for AI and computer vision performers building geospatial analytics, foundation models, or autonomous reconnaissance tools for Air Force, intelligence community, and combatant command users.
The FY2026 Homeland Security Grant Program puts more than $1 billion across three programs — State Homeland Security Program, Urban Area Security Initiative ($584M across 44 cities), and Operation Stonegarden — with a July 24, 2026 deadline. But the money comes fenced: 30% to National Priority Areas, 35% to law-enforcement terrorism prevention, plus new 10% border and 3% election minimums. Here is how the spending mandates actually stack, who is eligible, and how to build an Investment Justification that survives them.
Read articleFEMA's FY2026 Homeland Security Grant Program makes more than $1 billion available for terrorism prevention and preparedness — but for the first time ties eligibility to election-security measures: hand-marked paper ballots, 5% post-election audits, and citizenship verification through the SAVE system within 120 days. Local-government groups are calling it federal overreach that could divert 20% of state grants from bomb squads and active-shooter readiness. Applications are due July 24, 2026. This is the full breakdown of the conditions, the money at stake, the controversy, and how state and local applicants should navigate it.
Read articleOn June 24, 2026, FEMA released more than $1.5 billion across the Homeland Security Grant Program, a $300 million Nonprofit Security Grant Program, and six infrastructure-protection programs — all with an application window closing around July 24. This is the definitive breakdown: how SHSP, UASI, Operation Stonegarden, and the transit, port, Amtrak, and intercity-bus grants differ, what the new FY2026 priorities signal, why almost none of the money comes to you directly from FEMA, and the strategy for competing through your State Administrative Agency.
