Small Business Innovation Research (09/12/2025 - 05/11/2026) By developing and integrating generative AI (genAI) into VOXPOP, we will be able to create a new Congressional simulation that aligns with proven practices in civics education, combats affective polarization and sharpens media literacy skills.
The addition of genAI to play constituents and power real-time feedback systems will allow students to practice representative democracy, engage with more diverse perspectives, and experience how their policy decisions influence public opinion. This innovation will not only deepen civic engagement, but also help students develop AI and media literacy skills essential for active participation in modern democratic governance.
In Phase 1B, the project team will prototype a system of generative AI (genAI) constituents and policy experts that students interact with throughout a new live-action Congressional simulation. Research indicates interactions with genAI can reduce psychological distance and increase responsiveness to constituent needs. Students will engage with genAI constituents to understand their district's needs.
They will then collaborate with other students to craft policy solutions. As students make decisions and cast votes, they will receive feedback from the genAI constituents along with updated poll numbers. We will test this system's usability and educational efficacy in a diverse set of classrooms across the country.

The Department of Education's IES SBIR program is one of the most overlooked non-dilutive funding sources for education-technology startups. It funds prototypes at $250K and proven products at $1M with no equity taken. Here is how the FY2026 tracks work, what reviewers reward, and why the June 29 deadline is tighter than it looks.
Read articleThe Institute of Education Sciences has opened its first research competitions since early 2025: five FY27 competitions due October 1, 2026, with roughly $250 million planned across three tranches. But $224 million in withheld FY2025 funds may expire September 30, and topics are now fixed through FY2029.
Read articleThe Institute of Education Sciences launched no new grant competitions in all of FY2026. On August 6, 2026 it announced a three-tranche FY27 restart: five topic-agnostic competitions due October 1, flagship field-initiated grants held until December, and eight research topics that IES says will persist through FY2029.
