Biological Technologies Broad Agency Announcement (HR001126S0003) is sponsored by Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) Biological Technologies Office (BTO). DARPA BTO is soliciting proposals that leverage biological properties and processes to revolutionize the ability to protect the nation's warfighters. This includes harnessing advances in artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) to create new opportunities for transformative science across the biological spectrum. Specific interests include discovering interventions that utilize biotechnology, biochemistry, molecular biology, microbiology, neuroscience, psychology, cognitive science, social and behavioral science, and related disciplines to assess and optimize human performance and teaming.
The Brady Education Foundation Program Grants is a grant from The Brady Education Foundation that funds rigorous research and program evaluations focused on improving cognitive, achievement, and learning outcomes for children from birth through age 18 in the United States. Awards of $125,000 support Research Project (RP) proposals and Existing Program Evaluation (EPE) proposals over up to three years. The foundation prioritizes a strength-based perspective and projects with potential to inform educational research, philanthropic practice, and public policy. The application deadline is August 1, 2026. Eligible applicants must have a Principal Investigator based at a university, college, or large nonprofit research organization conducting US-based child development or educational research.
This Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) invites exploratory grant applications, hereafter referred to as the Novel Experiential Technologies Assisting Individual learning Hubs or NExT AI Hubs (formerly Learning Disabilities Innovation Hubs), to address the impact of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies on developmental outcomes in children diagnosed with or at risk for developing a specific learning disability (SLD) impacting reading, writing, and mathematics. NExT AI Hubs include a single Research Project and a Leadership Core that support the goals and aims of the Hub. This NOFO seeks to serve as a catalyst to 1) speed the maturation of nascent/novel, high-impact, high-risk research that advances understanding of the role AI technology plays in supporting, improving, or limiting the learning, cognitive, and socio-emotional needs of children at risk for or diagnosed with SLDs, 2) build an evidence base for the SLD community to inform policy or practice, and 3) provide project-embedded, career-enhancing research and professional development opportunities to support the next generation of transdisciplinary SLD scientists. This initiative provides opportunities to support planning and building a body of research and corresponding intellectual infrastructure to enable NExT AI investigators to compete for large research and program project opportunities in the future.This NOFO aims to integrate research topics that are of relevance to various research programs at the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) and align with the NICHD Strategic Plan. The NOFO intends to build cross-programmatic, transdisciplinary and cross-cutting scientific research, and critically nurture the development of early career investigators capable of conducting this research. Funding Opportunity Number: RFA-HD-27-006. Assistance Listing: 93.865. Funding Instrument: G. Category: HL. Award Amount: $1.6M total program funding.
NSF's restarted SBIR/STTR program carries two transition rules almost nobody has calendared. Project Pitch invitations issued on or after July 3, 2025 must be converted to a full proposal by November 4, 2026. Phase I awardees whose awards started on or after November 6, 2023 must submit Phase II by the same date. Both cohorts were created by the program lapse, and both cliffs are hard.
Read articleNSF's rebuilt SBIR/STTR program (NSF 26-510) pairs a $305,000 Phase I with a brand-new Strategic Breakthrough award worth up to $30 million for the strongest Phase II companies. The next Project Pitch deadline is July 27, 2026. Here is how the non-dilutive funding ladder now works, why the Project Pitch gate decides everything, and how a founder should sequence the next twelve months.
Read articleAfter a disruptive pause, NSF has reopened its SBIR/STTR programs with $250 million for deep-tech startups — including a $40M scientific-instrumentation pilot and a new Strategic Breakthrough track that can reach $30 million. The first Project Pitch deadline is July 27, 2026. Here is how the reopened pipeline works, why the Project Pitch is the real gate, and how founders should sequence a submission before the window narrows.
