High Temp Semiconductor Transistors for Hot DoW Environments and Electronic Warfare (DAF26BZ05-DV030) is sponsored by Department of the Air Force (USAF). This topic solicits high temperature semiconductor electronics device and circuit solutions which can operate at temperatures at or above 500°C to address hot environment and electronic warfare needs. Proposed efforts should have already identified a clear application with a credible path to transition into the microelectronics defense industrial base.
DE-FOA-0003612 The Genesis Mission: Transforming Science and Energy with AI is a grant from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Science that funds AI-driven research across strategic science and energy topic areas. DOE is soliciting FY26 Phase I small team and Phase II large team applications covering advanced manufacturing, biotechnology, critical materials, nuclear fission, nuclear fusion, quantum information science, semiconductors and microelectronics, discovery science, and energy. Eligible applicants include colleges and universities, non-profit and for-profit research organizations, DOE national laboratories, small businesses, and other federal research organizations. The deadline is December 17, 2026.
TCUP lists eight funding tracks and roughly $10.3M a year, but the October 14, 2026 deadline applies to only three of them — CHAI, Pre-TI, and TCUP Partnerships — and each carries a restriction that disqualifies most applicants. Here is the track-by-track math.
Read articleNSF 26-513 makes roughly $100 million available for up to 10 State and Regional AI Infrastructure Hubs at $4M to $12M each over five years. One award per state or multi-state region. One proposal per organization. And NSF is not buying you GPUs — it funds the coordination, the workforce and the faculty training, while the compute has to come from partners you have to already have.
Read articleAs of September 12, NSF had obligated $6.3 billion across 6,200 grants versus $8.1 billion and 8,600 last year. AHRQ has made 61 awards. Judge Allison Burroughs ordered the government to report by September 28 on whether IES will obligate $180 million before it expires. Here is what actually happens to the money on October 1 — and what it means for your FY2027 application.
