** The Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Activity (IARPA) invests in high-risk/high payoff research programs that have the potential to provide our nation with an overwhelming intelligence advantage. IARPA seeks to develop new capabilities to enable the safe adoption and use of generative AI technologies to greatly enhance the effectiveness and efficiency of the Intelligence Community (IC).
The goal of the BENGAL targeted super seedling is to understand LLM threat modes, quantify them and to find novel methods to correct threats and vulnerabilities or to work resiliently with imperfect models. IARPA seeks to develop and incorporate novel technologies to efficiently probe large language models to detect and characterize LLM threat modes and vulnerabilities.
Performers will focus on one or more of the topic domains below, clearly articulate a taxonomy of threat modes within their domain of interest and develop technologies to serve as an analog to ‘virus scan’ software.

On July 22, 2026, the Department of Energy opened its FY26 Genesis Mission SBIR/STTR round — roughly 40 Phase I awards across four topic areas (biotech, quantum, materials, and autonomous labs), a $147 million Phase II pool, and a September 10 pitch deadline. This is how small businesses get inside the $5 billion Genesis Mission. Here is what each topic funds, how the money and timeline work, and the concrete strategy to compete.
Read articleNSF announced three more X-Labs topics on September 16, 2026 — Artificial Intelligence for Physical Systems is live, with Sequence to Function and Computation at the Limit of Physics coming this fall. The Q&A webinar is October 14 and an RFI on future topics closes October 30. The per-topic key-personnel restriction is what should be driving your team-building decisions.
Read articleThe Labor Department's RESTART grants closed April 15, but the $81 million program is a map, not just a deadline. Up to 20 awards, $5.1M ceilings, and a priority list — AI infrastructure, nuclear, advanced manufacturing, domestic minerals — that signals the shape of the next workforce funding cycle. Here is how to read it and position for what comes next.
