The DOE INCITE (Innovative and Novel Computational Impact on Theory and Experiment) 2027 Call for Proposals invites scientific teams to apply for substantial allocations of leadership-class supercomputing time on the Frontier exascale system at Oak Ridge, the Aurora exascale system at Argonne, and the Polaris supercomputer at Argonne. The 2027 call opened in April 2026 with a June 15, 2026 close.
Priority research areas include scientific modeling, simulation, data analytics, and artificial intelligence (including foundation models for science, ML-accelerated simulation, and large-scale ML training). Individual awards typically span 500,000 to 1,000,000 node-hours on Aurora and Frontier and 100,000 to 250,000 node-hours on Polaris, with multi-year allocations possible. Awards announced Fall 2026; access begins January 2027.
Eligibility is global. The INCITE program is the principal mechanism for accessing DOE leadership computing facilities for groundbreaking AI-for-science research, including foundation model training, scientific reasoning model development, and large-scale AI-driven materials and biology discovery.

NSF TechAccess AI-Ready America is a major new initiative to establish AI-ready Coordination Hubs in every U.S. state and territory to expand access to AI knowledge tools training and capacity building. Announced March 25 2026 the initiative is a joint effort of NSF USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) Department of Labor and Small Business Administration (SBA). Each Hub will connect local partners and coordinate AI deployment scale proven approaches based on state and local priorities and address three key gaps: workforce AI literacy small business and local government AI adoption and hands-on learning pathways. Up to 56 Hubs will be funded at up to $1 million per year for three years selected through three rounds of competition. An informational webinar is scheduled for April 14 2026. This is distinct from NSF ExpandAI which focuses on institutional AI research capacity building and from NSF Expanding AI Career which targets skilled technical workforce opportunities.
The DARPA Tactical Technology Office (TTO) Office-Wide Broad Agency Announcement seeks revolutionary research ideas in autonomous systems, AI-enabled mission systems, advanced weapons, ground systems, maritime systems, and space systems. The BAA uses a two-step process: researchers first submit Executive Summaries by April 17, 2026 at 4:00 PM ET, and DARPA responds with either encouragement or discouragement before inviting full proposals on a rolling basis until June 22, 2026. Research thrusts include AI for autonomous platforms in contested tactical environments, human-machine teaming for warfighting applications, AI-enabled autonomy for unmanned ground vehicles and maritime systems, AI for collaborative space operations, and AI-enabled mission planning and battle management. Programs span basic research through prototype demonstrations.
The DARPA Young Faculty Award (YFA) is a flagship program that identifies and engages rising research stars in junior faculty positions at U.S. academic institutions and exposes them to DARPA's mission. The 2026 YFA solicitation (DARPA-RA-25-02 series) explicitly lists AI-relevant research topics including interpretable reinforcement learning, logical AI, knowledge representation and reasoning, neuro-symbolic systems, foundation models for science, AI for the physical world, mathematical foundations of large models, and assured autonomy. Awardees develop their research vision in partnership with a DARPA program manager and are positioned to compete for follow-on DARPA programs. The program provides ~$500,000 over a two-year base period with a possible third-year option, plus a Director's Fellowship of up to $500,000 for outstanding awardees. Strong fit for tenure-track AI, autonomy, and machine learning faculty within seven years of receiving a PhD.
The DOE Genesis Mission offers $293M for AI-driven research across 20+ fields from quantum science to nuclear energy. Phase I applications due April 28, 2026.
Read articleThe Department of Energy is investing $145M in early career researchers and $68M in AI for science simultaneously. Together, these programs reveal a deliberate strategy to build an AI-literate research pipeline — and the application windows are open now.
Read articleThe Energy Department's flagship Early Career Research Program is funded at $145M for FY2026 — $79M in current-year dollars, the rest contingent on FY27 appropriations. Full applications are due June 2 from the ~150 researchers DOE pre-cleared in March. Here's what the program rewards, why this year's announcement leans hard into Executive Order 14303 on Gold Standard Science, what untenured PIs at academic institutions vs. national labs should expect, and how to position for the FY27 pre-application gate next March.
