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).
It will issue grants to develop openly-shared datasets, models, benchmarks, and other digital public goods to advance the accuracy and relevance of AI in education.

Apply Now for the K-12 AI Infrastructure Program’s First Grant Cycle – Digital Promise 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. ” Want to stay up-to-date with the K-12 AI Infrastructure Program?

NSF 26-516 folds Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences, Earth Sciences and Ocean Sciences into a single GEO Core solicitation: $110 million, 200 to 350 awards, proposals accepted anytime. Geosciences piloted no-deadline review nine years ago and knows what it does to submission volume. Here is the per-award math, the ship-time and permitting traps, and the two-year data-archive clock that now governs every award.
Read articleFuture CoRe (NSF 25-543) advertises $280 million and 400 to 600 awards across 11 programs, with a September 10, 2026 target date. The directorate behind it is running 43 percent below its own four-year average, $1 billion of NSF's budget is locked in a central account, and the two-proposal cap is enforced with no exceptions. Here is how to read the gap between what the solicitation promises and what the directorate is actually paying for.
