Disaster Assistance Projects is sponsored by Department of Homeland Security. This category is not for unsolicited proposals. Provides funding that has been designated by Congressionally appropriated authorization, generally for a specified project, or to provide unique or limited scope funding for certain disaster assistance Projects identified by Congress or a DHS program office.
Program funds support the National Preparedness Goal of enhancing core capabilities in the areas of disaster response and recovery. One such disaster project is the Disaster Case Management (DCM) Program, which is a disaster-related federal award. DCM supports the Recovery core capability and mission area as defined in the National Preparedness Goal.
The objective of DCM is to assist individuals and households through the recovery process by connecting survivors with local resources to meet their disaster-caused unmet needs. A disaster-caused unmet need is any un-resourced item, support, or assistance that has been assessed and verified as necessary for a survivor to recover from disaster.
This may include but is not limited to: food, clothing, shelter, first aid, emotional and spiritual care, household items, temporary housing, home repair, or rebuilding. This listing is currently active. Program number: 97.

The Department of Defense FY2026 Defense University Research Instrumentation Program (DURIP) provides funding for U.S. universities to acquire research equipment and instrumentation in areas important to national defense, including AI and machine learning hardware. The program is administered jointly by the Army Research Office (ARO), Office of Naval Research (ONR), and Air Force Office of Scientific Research (AFOSR), with approximately $34 million available and 95 awards anticipated. DURIP funds the acquisition of specialized computing hardware for AI/ML research (GPU clusters, TPUs, neuromorphic processors), robotics and autonomous systems testbeds, sensor arrays and data collection systems for machine learning training, high-performance computing infrastructure for defense-relevant AI research, and laboratory equipment for human-AI interaction studies. The program specifically supports equipment that enhances research-related education in DoD-priority disciplines. While general-purpose computing is not eligible, computing equipment directly supporting DoD-relevant AI research programs qualifies. No cost sharing is required.
