The Air Force Research Laboratory Information Directorate's Geospatial Intelligence Processing and Exploitation (GeoPEX) Broad Agency Announcement (FA8750-21-S-7006) is an open, two-step BAA funding research, development, integration, testing, and evaluation of technologies that enhance geospatial intelligence (GEOINT) capabilities for national security missions. Core technical areas emphasize artificial intelligence and machine learning techniques for full-spectrum GEOINT, automated multi-source data production, cloud-based high-performance computing, photogrammetry, and rapid exploitation of imagery and sensor data. The BAA carries an estimated total ceiling of approximately $99.9 million, with individual awards from roughly $250,000 to $10 million over performance periods up to 36 months. White papers are accepted on a rolling basis and the announcement remains open and effective through September 30, 2026.
The Department of Energy's Advanced Materials and Manufacturing Technologies Office (AMMTO) Smart Manufacturing Funding Opportunity Announcement (DE-FOA-0003329) provides up to $33 million to fund high-impact applied research, development, and demonstration projects that use digitization, artificial intelligence, machine learning, and physics-informed models to improve the technical performance, efficiency, productivity, and competitiveness of U.S. manufacturing. Areas of interest include AI- and ML-driven automation integrating hardware and software systems into manufacturing tooling and equipment, manufacturing asset management for system performance optimization (cost, quality, throughput), intelligent materials identification and sorting for circular economy outcomes, and digital twin platforms supporting clean energy manufacturing. The FOA aligns with the DOE Industrial Decarbonization Roadmap and supports the broader Manufacturing USA Smart Manufacturing strategy.
The White House committed more than $5 billion across 15+ federal agencies to the Genesis Mission, and DOE selected 278 first-cohort projects out of roughly 5,000 applications — the largest response to any DOE funding call ever. Phase I grants run $500,000 to $750,000 over 9 months; Phase II awards reach $6 million to $15 million over 3 years, with one $60 million flagship. Here is the full architecture, the eligibility math, and how to position for the next window.

Read articleNSF just committed $380 million to build a national network of AI-programmable, remotely operated laboratories — the Programmable Cloud Laboratories Test Bed (NSF 25-541), the agency's flagship contribution to the Genesis Mission. Twenty nodes, four years, self-driving experiments in chemistry, biology and materials. Here is what it funds, who is eligible, why the 'existing facilities only' rule matters, and how researchers and companies should position for what comes next.
