ASPIRE for Rising Scientists is the Japan Science and Technology Agency's early-career track within its ASPIRE international partnership programme, and AI and Information is one of its seven named priority fields alongside Biotechnology, Energy, Quantum, Materials, Semiconductors and Telecommunications.
Awards run up to JPY 90,000,000 including indirect costs - roughly USD 620,000 - over a project period of up to three years, which is a substantial package for an early-career researcher and considerably larger than most first-grant schemes.
The defining feature, and the thing that determines whether a team can realistically apply, is the mobility requirement: each research team must include at least one researcher who will travel to the partner country and conduct research activities there for approximately one year.
This is not a light collaboration clause; it requires a person who can relocate for twelve months and an overseas host willing to accommodate them, and proposals should be built around that person from the outset.
The partner country list is broad, covering Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, the Czech Republic, Denmark, the European Union, Finland, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, the United Kingdom and the United States, so most major AI research jurisdictions are in scope.
Applicants must be Japan-based early-career researchers; overseas researchers participate as collaborators and hosts rather than as lead applicants. The 2026 round closed on 19 May 2026 at 12:00 PM JST. ASPIRE runs on an annual cycle, so international groups wanting to host an inbound Japanese collaborator should begin identifying partners well ahead of the next call.

The NSF CISE Future Computing Research (Future CoRe) program supports research in computing and communication foundations, intelligent systems, and network systems. The program funds innovative research that advances the frontiers of computing including artificial intelligence, machine learning, computer vision, natural language processing, and robotics. This is one of NSF's largest computing research programs with $280 million in total budget. Projects can address fundamental computing challenges, novel AI architectures, scalable intelligent systems, and next-generation network infrastructure.
On 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.
Read articleOn July 22, 2026 the White House announced more than $5 billion and 15-plus federal agencies behind the Genesis Mission — a national effort to point AI at the hardest problems in science. Here is what the mission actually funds, how its five National Science and Technology Challenges map to real solicitations already opening, and how a research team or small business should position for the money flowing out of it.
