On June 1, DARPA and NSF announced AI Forge — a jointly governed forum that will fund university-led research on three thrusts: AI interpretability, AI control, and adversarial robustness. The RFI on sam.gov closes June 22, 2026, at 5:00 PM ET. Project Ventures awards run roughly \$750K to \$3M with one-year durations and multiple awards expected annually. Administration runs through a nonprofit, intellectual property will be shared via open-source licensing, and CAISI at NIST is the third partner. Here is what the 15 priority research challenges look like and how U.S. universities should respond.
Read articleOn May 31, NSF announced the restart of its SBIR and STTR programs with a \$250 million FY26 allocation, a Project Pitch portal reopening June 2, a first full-proposal deadline of July 27, 2026, and additional windows on November 4 and March 4, 2027. Phase I tops out at \$305K, Phase II at \$1.25M, and a new Strategic Breakthrough lane extends invited Phase II companies up to \$30M. A separate \$40M instrumentation pilot (NSF 26-511) funds next-generation scientific tools. Here is what changed from prior cycles, who the program actually fits, and how to position a Project Pitch for the July deadline.
