"Emerging Mathematics in Biology (eMB)" is currently closed and not accepting applications.
The Emerging Mathematics in Biology (eMB) program seeks to stimulate the development of innovative mathematical theories, techniques, and approaches to investigate challenging questions of great interest to biologists and public health policymakers. It supports truly integrative research projects in mathematical biology that address challenging and significant biological questions through novel applications of traditional, but nontrivial, mathematical tools and methods or the development of new mathematical theories particularly from foundational mathematics, including the mathematical foundation of Artificial Intelligence/Deep Learning/Machine Learning (AI/DL/ML) enabling explainable AI or mechanistic insight. The program emphasizes the uses of mathematical methodologies to advance our understanding of complex, dynamic, and heterogenous biological systems at all scales (molecular, cellular, organismal, population, ecosystems, evolutionary, etc.).

The Naval Research Laboratory (NRL), the corporate research laboratory for the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps, solicits white papers for basic and applied scientific research under BAA N00173-24-S-BA01. AI-related focus areas include data management and exploitation technologies that apply emerging mathematics and machine learning techniques, multi-agent systems and reinforcement learning, and AI/ML integrated with systems engineering across radar, antennas, and information systems. Additional priority areas include advanced materials and energy storage, spacecraft systems and propulsion, cybersecurity and cryptographic technologies, ocean acoustics and remote sensing, and virtual/mixed reality systems for training and situational awareness. NRL is distinct from the Office of Naval Research (ONR) and funds research conducted at or in collaboration with NRL's own laboratories. White papers are evaluated on a rolling basis with selected proposers invited to submit full proposals.

TCUP lists eight funding tracks and roughly $10.3M a year, but the October 14, 2026 deadline applies to only three of them — CHAI, Pre-TI, and TCUP Partnerships — and each carries a restriction that disqualifies most applicants. Here is the track-by-track math.
Read articleNSF 26-513 makes roughly $100 million available for up to 10 State and Regional AI Infrastructure Hubs at $4M to $12M each over five years. One award per state or multi-state region. One proposal per organization. And NSF is not buying you GPUs — it funds the coordination, the workforce and the faculty training, while the compute has to come from partners you have to already have.
Read articleAs of September 12, NSF had obligated $6.3 billion across 6,200 grants versus $8.1 billion and 8,600 last year. AHRQ has made 61 awards. Judge Allison Burroughs ordered the government to report by September 28 on whether IES will obligate $180 million before it expires. Here is what actually happens to the money on October 1 — and what it means for your FY2027 application.
