Grants | Worcester Polytechnic Institute The WPI Robotics Resource Center works with area groups to provide grants which improve equity and access in Robotics. Since 2021, WPI has worked with various groups, including the Massachusetts Executive Office of Education to distribute over $800,000 in funds to local teachers and schools.
Through these programs, we have trained educators of in-school and after-school programs to better integrate hands-on learning and robotics, reaching students from grades 2-12 with diverse skillsets and experiences.
Current WPI Robotics Grants In March of 2024, the WPI RRC received a grant from WPI’s Women’s Industry Network (WIN) to improve access to robotics among female-identifying students and improve outcomes through classes taught by female-identifying instructors. An application will be posted soon. Funded by the MA EOE, these annual grants are available to any educator in Massachusetts for in-school and after-school enrichment programs.
Grant commitment includes using the provided kids with at least 72 unique students within 3 years of receiving the grants. Each grant recipient receives a minimum of 6 kits, which stay with the recipient not the school or organization, as well as professional development and training.

High Quality Curriculum Grant In the 2022-23 and 2023-24 school years, the WPI RRC has been piloting a program in area schools to implement in-classroom robotics across 6th, 7th, and 8th grades to evaluate the impact it has on students' engagement with STEM in high school.
By providing this experience universally, the goal is to minimize traditional barriers of after-school programs and conscience and unconscious biases of students and educators associated with participating in elective classes. As of 2024, the program is actively being piloted in the Fitchburg and Randolph school systems.
We hope to receive a new grant to allow the continued expansion of this program across more schools utilizing the XRP.

NSF's NAIRR Operations Center solicitation (NSF 25-546) will make a single award of up to $35 million over five years to the organization that will run the National AI Research Resource — the shared computing, data, and model infrastructure that has already connected over 400 U.S. research teams. This is a rare winner-take-all federal competition where the prize is not funding for your own research but the mandate to operate national infrastructure. Here is what the NAIRR is, why its transition from pilot to permanent program matters, and what kind of organization can credibly win it.
Read articleNSF has moved to stand up the NAIRR Operations Center — a single award of up to $35 million over five years to run the National AI Research Resource. Backed by 14 federal agencies and 28 private partners, NAIRR has already connected 400+ research teams to compute and data most labs could never buy on their own. Here is what the transition from pilot to permanent program means, and how researchers actually get an allocation.
Read articleMTO opened six SBIR topics on May 27 with a single June 24 close: nanopore proteomics, compact wideband tunable RF filters, 800°C-rated integrated circuits, passive thermal spreaders, radiation-hardened codesign, and low-resource computing for legacy hardware reuse. Together they map the office's bet on where U.S. semiconductor advantage gets reasserted — and which small businesses get to ride along.
