NSF 26-508 will deploy up to $224 million across 56 State/Territory AI Coordination Hubs over three to four years. Each hub gets $1M annually to build an AI Learning Resource Navigator, a state AI readiness plan, deployment support, capacity-building, and priority-sector coordination. The Letter of Intent is due June 16 and the full proposal July 16. Here is what the program is really buying, who is best positioned to win Round 1, and why the no-cost-share rule reshapes the partner landscape.
Read articleNSF 26-501 (CAMEL) commits $9 million to build AI-ready K-12 mathematics datasets across 6–7 awards of up to $1.5 million each. The money is co-supported by the Walton Family Foundation — and the solicitation bars WFF staff and partners from participating in any capacity, prohibits voluntary cost sharing, and requires reports be shared with the foundation after NSF review. Here's how the public-private structure works, and what Phase II means for teams already in.
Read articleOn June 1, DARPA and NSF announced AI Forge — a jointly governed forum that will fund university-led research on three thrusts: AI interpretability, AI control, and adversarial robustness. The RFI on sam.gov closes June 22, 2026, at 5:00 PM ET. Project Ventures awards run roughly $750K to $3M with one-year durations and multiple awards expected annually. Administration runs through a nonprofit, intellectual property will be shared via open-source licensing, and CAISI at NIST is the third partner. Here is what the 15 priority research challenges look like and how U.S. universities should respond.
