"FY 2025 Annual Program Statement": Ancient deadline (>1 year past); program not expected to reopen.
BACKGROUND: The U.S. government unequivocally condemns the Russian government’s aggressive foreign policy. The Kremlin’s efforts to silence independent voices, restrict access to unbiased information, and punish dissent represent a pattern of systematic repression of the Russian people’s fundamental freedoms. The United States recognizes this and distinguishes between Russia’s government and its people. The United States respects the Russian people’s contributions to science, culture, and education. Maintaining and strengthening the people-to-people connections between our countries serves the long-term interests of the United States and remains the bedrock upon which a future, more constructive bilateral relationship could emerge. In that spirit, the United States supports people-to-people engagements, exchange programs, and other initiatives that allow Russian students, scholars, and civil society members to experience the United States, its culture, and its values firsthand, and that promote interaction between the Russian and American people with the aim of keeping the door open to a better future. A. PROGRAM DESCRIPTION The U.S. Embassy Moscow Public Diplomacy Section (PDS) announces funding is available through our Public Diplomacy Grants Program.

Please use the grant application mandatory forms and consider using the proposal and budget templates found on our website sidebar. Purpose of Public Diplomacy Grants: PDS Moscow invites proposals for projects that support future constructive relations and reinforce ties between the American and Russian people. Grant proposals must convey an element of U.S. history, culture, or values and support the administration’s stated priorities of making America safer, stronger, and more prosperous. Competitive proposals should support a priority program area (see below) and should also include a connection with U.S. expert/s, organization/s, or institution/s that will promote increased cooperation between the people of the United States and Russia even after the program has finished.

Past winners and funding trends for this program
The FY2026 Department of Defense Multidisciplinary University Research Initiative (MURI) program supports basic research in science and engineering at U.S. institutions of higher education, with emphasis on multidisciplinary research where more than one traditional discipline interacts. The Army, Navy, and Air Force basic research offices are seeking applications across 22 topic areas including artificial intelligence and autonomy, information sensing and processing, and systems manipulation. MURI grants typically provide $1.25 million to $1.5 million per year for three years with option to extend two additional years. Approximately $170 million in total funding is available annually across all topics. The program is administered through the Office of Naval Research (ONR), Army Research Office (ARO), and Air Force Office of Scientific Research (AFOSR).
The NSF Convergence Accelerator is a grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) that funds multidisciplinary teams working to solve national-scale societal challenges through convergence research and innovation. Launched in 2019 under NSF's Directorate for Technology, Innovation and Partnerships, the program operates in two phases: Phase 1 awards are up to $750,000, with successful teams advancing to larger Phase 2 awards. Eligible applicants include institutions of higher education and nonprofit or for-profit organizations. Track I and Track K focus on specific high-priority topics announced each funding cycle. The next deadline is June 15, 2026. Proposals must comply with updated NSF research security policies effective July 2025.
DICE asks for something most multi-agent AI research quietly assumes away: a collective of heterogeneous AI agents that holds its mission together with no central controller, under active adversarial pressure, over long time horizons, and still stays under human control. Issued by DARPA's Information Processing Techniques Office as BAA HR001126S0010 on June 10, 2026 with Susmit Jha as program manager, the program funds the theory and algorithms for decentralized coordination and local inference control rather than fielded systems - all demonstration and evaluation is in simulation, which meaningfully lowers the barrier for university and software-only teams that cannot support hardware integration. The work splits into three technical areas: TA1 decentralized coordination and consensus, TA2 local inference control that keeps individual agents role-coherent and mission-aligned without global oversight, and TA3 testing and evaluation in simulation. TA2 is the conceptual core and the hardest sell - it targets the failure mode where individually reasonable agents drift collectively off mission, which is precisely the behavior that makes decentralized LLM-agent swarms unusable for defense today. The program runs 36 months in three phases: 9 months for Phase 1 (Decentralization), 15 months for Phase 2 (Adversarial Robustness), and 12 months for Phase 3 (Scale), so proposals must show a credible path through adversarial robustness rather than only demonstrating clean-environment coordination. DARPA has not published an award ceiling; multiple awards are anticipated and DARPA may use Procurement Contracts, Other Transaction Agreements or Cooperative Agreements, meaning nontraditional performers can structure around an OTA. A Proposers Day was held under DARPA-SN-26-72. Full proposals are due August 25, 2026, so teams engaging now are at the deadline and should look to abstract feedback and any amendment extensions.
The Energy Department's first Genesis Mission SBIR/STTR Phase I solicitation offers roughly 40 awards of up to $250,000 against $10 million — but you cannot submit a full application anymore. A four-question, 700-word pitch now decides who gets to apply, there is no Direct to Phase II path for new entrants, and the $147.4 million Phase II pool is closed to everyone who has never won a DOE award.
Read articleThe White House committed more than $5 billion across 15+ federal agencies to the Genesis Mission, and DOE selected 278 first-cohort projects out of roughly 5,000 applications — the largest response to any DOE funding call ever. Phase I grants run $500,000 to $750,000 over 9 months; Phase II awards reach $6 million to $15 million over 3 years, with one $60 million flagship. Here is the full architecture, the eligibility math, and how to position for the next window.
