The servicing housing office will develop a list of the applications received and considered for the Housing Program for the current program year.
Your servicing housing office will inform you whether you will receive funds in writing after it completes the list of the applications. Housing program funding is only received one (1) time each year, and your Tribes Work Plan is usually due to their BIA’s Regional Office at the end of December.
So if you submitted your application in March, if found eligible, your application would be on the upcoming Work Plan submittal (9 months away) in December. In addition, they would not know who, if any, of their applicants would get funded until approximately May/June (another 5 to 6 months). If you don't receive funding, your servicing housing office will retain and consider your application for 3 more years.
During this 4-year period, you must ensure that the information on your application is still accurate and provide an annual written update if any information has changed. Division of Human Services 1849 C Street, N. W.

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 USDA Specialty Crop Research Initiative (SCRI) 2026 provides $175 million in annual funding for research addressing the needs of the specialty crop industry, with a groundbreaking new $20 million set-aside for mechanization and automation research. For the first time, the SCRI Notice of Funding Opportunity explicitly funds AI-driven automation technologies to help specialty crop growers reduce labor costs, which have been among the most persistent financial pressures in fruit, vegetable, tree nut, and horticulture production. Priority areas include data-driven predictive tools using artificial intelligence, robotics, sensor technologies, precision agriculture, improved mechanization technologies that delay or inhibit ripening, decision support systems, management of quarantine pests, and cybersecurity for agricultural systems. The funding increase was enabled by the Working Families Tax Cuts legislation, more than doubling the previous SCRI budget from $80 million to $175 million per year. Applications are due by 5:00 PM Eastern Time on June 15, 2026. This represents the largest federal investment specifically targeting AI and automation in specialty crop agriculture.
