The Hewlett Foundation's Emerging Technology and Security Initiative commits $20 million a year through 2031 across AI, biotechnology, and quantum computing security. Its 2026 exploratory grants went to thirteen named institutions with no open call. For organizations outside that list, the path in runs through a specific set of moves — and the five-year term starting in 2027 is the window.
Read articleOn August 26, 2026, NSF named the STC class of 2026: TEMPEST at Michigan State, GENIE at Northwestern, and a human-robot co-adaptation center at UT Austin. $90 million total, $6 million a year each. The 2023 class was four centers and $120 million. The award size is intact; the shelf space shrank 25 percent — and that is the number that should reshape how you plan a center proposal.
Read articleOn July 22, 2026 the White House committed more than $5 billion to expand the Genesis Mission — the government-wide 'AI for science' effort — announcing 278 first projects and 14 National Science and Technology Challenges spanning health, energy, infrastructure, manufacturing, and national security. More than 15 federal agencies are contributing awards, datasets, and facilities. Here is how the pieces fit, why it reorganizes the science-funding map, and how to position for the awards flowing out of it.
