NSF's SBIR/STTR Artificial Intelligence topic (America's Seed Fund) provides non-dilutive funding to U.S. small businesses translating cutting-edge AI research into commercial products and services for the public good. The topic emphasizes deep-learning-based AI systems and AI-based hardware that are safe, reliable, fair, robust, privacy-preserving, and efficient. Eight subtopics are supported: cognitive-science-based technologies, computer-vision AI, conversational AI, language-based AI, novel AI hardware, sustainable AI for low-resource and edge environments, technologies for trustworthy AI, and other novel AI technologies. Applicants first submit a Project Pitch; if invited, they submit a full Phase I proposal. Phase I awards up to $305,000 fund feasibility, and successful teams may apply for Phase II awards up to $1.25 million plus matching and supplemental funds.
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 funding research, development, integration, testing, and evaluation of technologies that enhance geospatial intelligence (GEOINT) capabilities for national security missions. Core technical areas emphasize artificial intelligence and machine learning techniques for full-spectrum GEOINT, automated multi-source data production, cloud-based high-performance computing, photogrammetry, and rapid exploitation of imagery and sensor data. The BAA carries an estimated total ceiling of approximately $99.9 million, with individual awards from roughly $250,000 to $10 million over performance periods up to 36 months. White papers are accepted on a rolling basis and the announcement remains open and effective through September 30, 2026.
On July 22, 2026, the Department of Energy opened its FY26 Genesis Mission SBIR/STTR round — roughly 40 Phase I awards across four topic areas (biotech, quantum, materials, and autonomous labs), a $147 million Phase II pool, and a September 10 pitch deadline. This is how small businesses get inside the $5 billion Genesis Mission. Here is what each topic funds, how the money and timeline work, and the concrete strategy to compete.
Read articleTitle III of the Defense Production Act lets the Pentagon hand non-dilutive capital to companies that expand domestic production of defense-critical materials and manufacturing — through a white-paper-first pathway run by the Air Force Research Laboratory (FA8650-19-S-5010) rather than a conventional grant competition. But the core DPA authorities sunset September 30, 2026 absent reauthorization, and the standing white-paper window has moved in and out of suspension. Here is how the Title III mechanism actually works, why it rewards companies that lead with a supply-chain vulnerability, and how to position before the authority cliff.
Read articleThe FY2026 federal funding map has tilted hard toward AI, critical minerals, energy, advanced manufacturing, and workforce development — while a new layer of political review asks whether each award advances administration priorities. Here is a strategic map of where the money is moving, and how to position a proposal for the new alignment screen without distorting the work.
