Apply Now for the K-12 AI Infrastructure Program’s First Grant Cycle February 4, 2026 | By Digital Promise Digital Promise is pleased to launch the first request for proposals of the new K-12 AI Infrastructure Program . This program invites projects developing public goods—including datasets, benchmarks, and models—designed to support multiple applications of AI in K-12 education.
By creating modular open-license public goods, we aim to lower the barrier for all developers to create high-quality, valid, and fair AI products that serve every student. The vision of the initial RFP is to produce public goods that will be widely adopted and will improve how AI can enable strong formative assessment practices.
We are seeking high-quality proposals that operationalize learning science constructs, center populations furthest from opportunity through Targeted Universalism, and directly support educators. This funding cycle supports two tracks: Track 1 for proof-of-concept projects and Track 2 for enhancing existing assets. The program will award grants between $50,000 to $250,000 for a 6-12 month period of performance.
The application is now open and will close on Sunday, March 8, 2026 at midnight Pacific Standard Time. “We are building the shared technical infrastructure needed to develop learning science-based AI approaches,” said Jeremy Roschelle, Director of the Infrastructure Program. “Our vision for this work was shaped by input from educators, developers, and researchers through our request for information and market research.
While the learning sciences have firmly established that well-implemented formative assessment can have powerful impacts on learning, formative assessment can be difficult to implement. By making public goods freely available to all educational products, we aim to enable state-of-the-art formative assessment practices across the board.
” The K-12 AI Infrastructure Program , a multi-year initiative led by global education nonprofit Digital Promise, aims to bridge the gap between the scientific principles of teaching and learning and the growing potential of artificial intelligence. Core partners include Learning Data Insights, DrivenData, Massive Data Institute at Georgetown University, and Catalyst @ Penn GSE.
“We’re seeing huge energy among innovative developers to use AI as they incorporate adaptive formative assessment in their products and services,” said John Gamba, Director of Innovative Programs at Penn GSE.
“We see companies participating in this project in two ways; first, by responding to the RFP and proposing innovative datasets, models or benchmarks for public good, and second, by incorporating the resulting public goods into their development work going forward. ” The review process will bring together funding partners, edtech developers, researchers, and practitioners to ensure a rigorous and collaborative evaluation.
After an initial review of submitted proposals, selected recipients will be announced in April. Additional funding opportunities will be announced later in 2026. Want to stay up-to-date with the K-12 AI Infrastructure Program?

K-12 AI Infrastructure Program: Open Source AI Model for Tutoring (EDU AI) is sponsored by Digital Promise (managed by Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation). This RFP seeks one team to build open-source AI tutoring infrastructure for U. S. math learning. While primarily focused on K-12, the underlying research and infrastructure could inform higher education applications of AI for teaching and learning.
The EDU AI grant funds development of an open-source AI model for K-12 tutoring, addressing limitations in current AI tutors that give answers too quickly, miss signs of student motivation, and fail to support productive problem-solving. The funded team will produce model weights, training code, datasets, evaluation tools, and documentation released under permissive licenses (Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 and Apache 2.0). The work focuses initially on mathematics tutoring with potential expansion to other subjects. Lead organizations must have at least one peer-reviewed publication before May 8, 2026, a demonstrated record of contributing digital public goods, prior experience with LLMs in U.S. education contexts, meaningful prior deployment using real student data (proof-of-concept work insufficient), and at least one major tutoring EdTech provider identified or conditionally committed. Strong fit for academic-industry consortia combining ML/AI engineering with deep K-12 classroom expertise and learning science.
K-12 AI Infrastructure Program is sponsored by Digital Promise (with core partners Learning Data Insights, DrivenData, Massive Data Institute at Georgetown University, and Catalyst @ Penn GSE). This multi-year initiative aims to close the gap between scientific principles of teaching and learning and the promise of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI).
Brown Girl Jane x SheaMoisture Grant is a grant from SheaMoisture and Brown Girl Jane that funds Black and woman-owned beauty and wellness businesses in the United States.

On May 8, 2026, ED and HHS announced the first competitions under a new Family Engagement and School Support Partnership — covering Promise Neighborhoods and Ready to Learn, with applications due August 6. HHS will manage grant funds and provide technical assistance under an Interagency Agreement, the largest structural change to Promise Neighborhoods since its 2010 launch. The priority shift to evidence-based literacy and high-impact tutoring is the visible piece. The administrative reorganization is what determines whether the program survives the next reauthorization.
