The EDU AI grant funds development of an open-source AI model for K-12 tutoring, addressing limitations in current AI tutors that give answers too quickly, miss signs of student motivation, and fail to support productive problem-solving. The funded team will produce model weights, training code, datasets, evaluation tools, and documentation released under permissive licenses (Creative Commons Attribution 4. 0 and Apache 2.
0). The work focuses initially on mathematics tutoring with potential expansion to other subjects.
Lead organizations must have at least one peer-reviewed publication before May 8, 2026, a demonstrated record of contributing digital public goods, prior experience with LLMs in U.S. education contexts, meaningful prior deployment using real student data (proof-of-concept work insufficient), and at least one major tutoring EdTech provider identified or conditionally committed.
Strong fit for academic-industry consortia combining ML/AI engineering with deep K-12 classroom expertise and learning science.

The Myelodysplastic Syndromes (MDS) Research Fund is a grant from the Vera and Joseph Dresner Foundation that funds early-career and established investigators conducting research on MDS — a group of blood cancers affecting bone marrow function. The program supports innovative research and clinical trials aimed at improving standards of care for patients. Past awardees include investigators at Johns Hopkins University, Memorial Sloan-Kettering, and H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center. Eligible applicants are U.S.-based 501(c)(3) institutions (universities, hospitals, or research laboratories); principal investigators must hold a doctoral-level degree (MD, PhD, PharmD, or DO). Early-career awards reach up to ,000 per year; established investigator awards up to ,000 over two years. The deadline was March 6, 2026.
The May 29 OMB rewrite of 2 CFR Part 200 quietly rebuilds the pass-through entity compliance architecture. Proposed §200.332 strengthens subrecipient risk assessment, monitoring documentation, and remediation triggers. A new requirement mandates that every subaward be reported to SAM.gov with the reported records confirmed in performance reports — converting subaward administration from a back-office accounting function into a public-record certification regime. For the universities, state agencies, and national nonprofits that pass through more than half of their federal awards as subawards, the operational implication is a new compliance operating model that needs to be standing up by the October 1 effective date.
Read article52 of 56 BEAD final proposals are approved, 52 award agreements are signed, and construction on the first BEAD-funded networks begins this summer. The next 12 months are the subcontracting and digital-equity-partnership window — not the application window most nonprofits are still waiting for.
Read articleThe 400-page rewrite of 2 CFR 200 published May 29 contains specific provisions — political pre-issuance review, peer-review demotion, fixed-amount award elimination — that have drawn most of the analytical attention. The deeper structural change is a philosophical pivot from a framework where federal agencies supported recipients to "correct course and accomplish intended grant objectives" to one organized around "penalties for noncompliance." The pivot reframes the recipient relationship from partner to defendant, and it requires grantee compliance departments to rebuild documentation, internal-controls, and audit-response infrastructure that most have allowed to atrophy over the past decade.
