The Department of Defense FY2026 Defense University Research Instrumentation Program (DURIP) provides funding for U.S. universities to acquire research equipment and instrumentation in areas important to national defense, including AI and machine learning hardware. The program is administered jointly by the Army Research Office (ARO), Office of Naval Research (ONR), and Air Force Office of Scientific Research (AFOSR), with approximately $34 million available and 95 awards anticipated. DURIP funds the acquisition of specialized computing hardware for AI/ML research (GPU clusters, TPUs, neuromorphic processors), robotics and autonomous systems testbeds, sensor arrays and data collection systems for machine learning training, high-performance computing infrastructure for defense-relevant AI research, and laboratory equipment for human-AI interaction studies. The program specifically supports equipment that enhances research-related education in DoD-priority disciplines. While general-purpose computing is not eligible, computing equipment directly supporting DoD-relevant AI research programs qualifies. No cost sharing is required.
Vinnova, Sweden's national innovation agency, funds projects developing applied AI solutions for Swedish industry through its Advanced Digitalization Programme. Each project can apply for between 2 and 10 million SEK (approximately $190,000 to $950,000 USD) covering up to 50% of eligible project costs. The total call budget is 60 million SEK. Projects run for 12-24 months and focus on two key areas: Intelligent Edge (AI for real-time application in the sensor chain) and AI-based decision support. All projects must address industrial needs and integrate gender equality and climate change perspectives. Scientific publications must be open access. A parallel call also funds AI and cybersecurity projects at 1-10 million SEK per project with a 50 million SEK total budget.
On July 22, 2026, the Department of Energy opened the first Phase I SBIR/STTR release tied to its Genesis Mission — roughly 40 awards across biotechnology, AI-for-quantum, predictable-materials design, and autonomous laboratories — alongside about $147M in FY25 Phase II funding. Here is what each topic area actually wants, who is eligible, how this connects to the $5B Genesis Mission, and how a small business should position before the broader fall solicitation.
Read articleThe Department of Energy attached its small-business program to the Genesis Mission on July 22, 2026 — opening a $10 million Phase I opportunity across four AI-for-science topic areas closing September 10, plus roughly $147 million in Phase II funding for prior awardees. Here is what the four topics fund, how the redesigned 'faster, simpler' program changes the math for founders, and how to move on a tight window.
Read articleOn July 22, 2026, the Department of Energy opened its FY26 Genesis Mission SBIR/STTR round — roughly 40 Phase I awards across four topic areas (biotech, quantum, materials, and autonomous labs), a $147 million Phase II pool, and a September 10 pitch deadline. This is how small businesses get inside the $5 billion Genesis Mission. Here is what each topic funds, how the money and timeline work, and the concrete strategy to compete.
