NASA is transitioning its SBIR/STTR program from a traditional annual solicitation cycle to a Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) model for Program Year 2026, representing a fundamental structural shift. Instead of one concentrated submission window, NASA will release Phase I subtopics for SBIR, STTR, and SBIR Ignite across multiple appendices throughout the year, enabling rolling submissions.
This allows NASA to fund emerging areas including AI for mission planning, autonomous spaceflight, in-space manufacturing, and advanced propulsion without waiting 12 months for the next solicitation. Proposal limits reset for each appendix, giving innovators multiple chances throughout the year. Previous Phase II awardees have developed AI processors for autonomous spaceflight and surface operations.
The BAA format supports research and experimentation in technologies without narrowly prescribed solutions, providing flexibility for breakthrough AI and autonomous systems innovation. The BAA release date and initial Appendix A topics are pending program reauthorization.

ROSES 2025: A.4 Rapid Response and Novel Research in Earth Science is sponsored by National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). This program element within the Research Opportunities in Space and Earth Sciences (ROSES) supports rapid response and novel research in Earth Science, which can include AI applications to make complex science data easier to find and to develop data-driven predictive modeling an…
AI for Science (ROSES 2025: B. 16 Heliophysics Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning-Ready Data) is sponsored by National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). NASA's AI for Science initiatives focus on developing data-driven predictive modeling and simulation to forecast phenomena such as weather, space weather, and cosmic events, and making complex science data easier to find.
The NSF Computer and Information Science and Engineering: Future Computing Research (Future CoRe) program (NSF 25-543) supports foundational computing research and education with a strong emphasis on AI and machine learning. The program funds research that advances the foundations of computing including AI/ML theory, algorithms, systems, and applications. Future CoRe supports small to medium-sized research projects that can have significant impact on computing foundations. The program has target dates of February 5, 2026 and September 10, 2026 for proposal submissions (note: these are target dates, not deadlines, meaning proposals may be submitted at any time but will be reviewed in batches around these dates). Investigators may not serve as PI, co-PI, or Senior/Key Personnel on more than two proposals submitted within any consecutive 12-month period across all Future CoRe programs. This is one of NSF's primary mechanisms for funding fundamental AI and machine learning research at U.S. academic institutions, covering areas such as machine learning theory, natural language processing, computer vision, robotics foundations, and human-AI interaction.
The ONR Long Range Broad Agency Announcement (N00014-25-S-B001) is the Office of Naval Research's primary mechanism for soliciting research proposals across all naval science and technology priority areas. The BAA accepts proposals on a rolling basis through September 30, 2026 and covers ONR's full spectrum of research interests with particular emphasis on AI-related topics including autonomous maritime systems, human-machine teaming, machine learning for sensor fusion, cooperative autonomous swarm technology, undersea autonomy, and AI-enabled decision superiority. Proposals can be funded through multiple mechanisms including individual investigator grants, the Young Investigator Program (~$510K over 3 years for early-career faculty), and Multidisciplinary University Research Initiative (MURI) awards ($1.5M/year for 3-5 years for research teams). ONR recommends contacting relevant program officers before submitting to discuss alignment with current research priorities. The BAA supports basic research (6.1), applied research (6.2), and advanced technology development (6.3) across the full range of naval-relevant science and engineering disciplines.
DE-FOA-0003600 is the DOE Office of Science's FY 2026 open, rolling solicitation for financial assistance, providing roughly $500 million across seven program areas: Advanced Scientific Computing Research, Basic Energy Sciences, Biological and Environmental Research, Fusion Energy Sciences, High Energy Physics, Nuclear Physics, and Isotope R&D and Production. AI and machine learning research is supported directly through Advanced Scientific Computing Research, while Biological and Environmental Research funds atmospheric process research, environmental systems process research, and earth-energy systems modeling — making this a major channel for AI-enhanced climate and earth system modeling work. DOE anticipates 200 to 350 new awards ranging from $5,000 to $5 million each, with project periods from six months to five years. The FOA opened September 30, 2025 and accepts applications on a rolling basis through the end of FY 2026.
NASA published an RFI on September 12, 2026 seeking states willing to host and sponsor the new United States Space Academy, with responses due October 26 at 6 p.m. EDT through SAM.gov. Only a governor or a governor's designee may submit, and only once per state. The timeline demands groundbreaking by 2027, 300 students in temporary facilities in 2028, and a permanent campus by 2031. Here is what that structure actually means for universities, economic development agencies, and contractors in the states that compete.

Step-1 closes September 29, 2026, Step-2 on December 4, review is dual-anonymous, and up to $180,000 a year is carved out for public engagement before any science gets funded.
Read articleROSES-2025 has been amended 69 times and now runs to December 31, 2026 — but the 'no due date' and flexible program elements that carried the community through the gap close August 31. Two rules changed mid-cycle that most proposers have not read: a generative-AI citation requirement and a $0.09-per-SBU charge for NASA high-end computing that must appear in your Earth Science budget.
