NVIDIA Graduate Fellowship Program is a grant from NVIDIA providing up to $60,000 per award to PhD students conducting research that advances accelerated computing and its applications. Now in its 25th year, the program invites nominations from doctoral students pushing the boundaries of artificial intelligence, robotics, autonomous vehicles, and related fields. Recipients receive not only research funding but also access to NVIDIA technology, products, and engineering expertise, along with a mandatory in-person summer internship. Students are nominated by their faculty advisors and selected based on academic achievement and research area alignment.
CalSEED Concept Award is a grant from the California Energy Commission that provides $150,000 in funding to early-stage clean energy innovators in California. The program targets individuals, businesses, and nonprofits developing hardware, software, or integrated solutions at Technology Readiness Levels 2-4. Eligible technology areas rotate each cycle and have included battery recycling and reuse, long-duration energy storage, medium- and heavy-duty vehicle electrification, industrial electrification, and advanced EV charging. Applicants must be located in California, have under $1 million in private funding, and propose innovations that benefit California ratepayers. Concept Award winners also receive professional development resources and access to accelerator programs, and may compete for a subsequent $450,000 Prototype Award.
The Department of Energy's Office of Critical Minerals and Energy Innovation is spending to break America's 95% dependence on foreign rare earths. The strategy is unusual: recover critical materials from the waste streams of coal plants, smelters, and refineries that already exist. Here is the full funding architecture — the $75M just awarded, the $500M battery-materials round, the $1B pipeline behind them — and how an industrial operator should position for what comes next.
Read articleOn July 20, 2026, the EDA announced it intends to invest $169 million across six Regional Technology and Innovation Hubs — quantum, nuclear, critical minerals, biosecure manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, and forest bioproducts — after the Trump administration rescinded the Biden-era Phase 2 awards and reran the competition. Only two of the original winners survived. Here is the full breakdown of the six hubs, why four prior awardees were dropped, and what the re-award teaches regional coalitions about competing for the next round.
Read articleThe FY2026 federal funding map has tilted hard toward AI, critical minerals, energy, advanced manufacturing, and workforce development — while a new layer of political review asks whether each award advances administration priorities. Here is a strategic map of where the money is moving, and how to position a proposal for the new alignment screen without distorting the work.
