NSF announces funding to establish the National AI Research Resource Operations Center The U.S. National Science Foundation today announced a new solicitation to establish a National Artificial Intelligence Research Resource Operations Center (NAIRR-OC).
This marks a critical, initial step in transitioning the National AI Research Resource (NAIRR) from a successful pilot to laying the foundations for a sustainable, coordinated national program that will advance U.S. research capabilities and global leadership in AI. Leadership, Partners, and Contributors The U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) leads the NAIRR Pilot effort in collaboration with federal agency partners.
The Department of Energy (DOE) and the National Institutes of Health (NIH) are leading development of a NAIRR Secure element of the pilot .

Past winners and funding trends for this program
Agricultural Technologies (AG) - NSF SBIR/STTR is sponsored by National Science Foundation (NSF). The Agricultural Technologies topic supports innovations enabling farm production ecosystems that support the proper utilization of natural resources. Such technologies may encompass systems-level and multidisciplinary solutions to enable complex agricultural practices that support increased biodiversity balanced with yield production. Sub-topics include food waste mitigation, resilient supply & distribution, and other agricultural technologies.
Fire Science Innovations through Research and Education (FIRE) program is sponsored by National Science Foundation (NSF). This program invites innovative multidisciplinary and multisector investigations focused on convergent research and education activities in wildland fire. It supports research that can inform risk management and response, adaptation, and resilience across infrastructures, communities, cultures, and natural environments. Relevant topics include developing novel materials and methods for retrofitting existing buildings and remediating buildings following wildfire and smoke events.
Digital Cities' Innovation Accelerator Small Grant Program is sponsored by U.S. State Department's Bureau of Cyberspace and Digital Policy (CDP). These small grants activate the private sector to deliver novel and innovative solutions to civic challenges. Projects must address a sub-national public service or infrastructure need AND incorporate trusted U.S. digital based solutions, empowering municipalities to improve public service delivery.
Research on Circular Economy, Smart Manufacturing, and Energy-Efficient Microelectronics is sponsored by U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Advanced Materials & Manufacturing Technologies Office (AMMTO). This funding opportunity supports innovative technology R&D across the manufacturing sector with a focus on circular economy, smart manufacturing, and energy-efficient microelectronics. While the stated deadline for full applications has passed, AMMTO frequently issues similar solicitations, and this highlights a relevant area of interest for the DOE.
AWS Imagine Grant program - Momentum to Modernize Award is sponsored by Amazon Web Services (AWS).

This includes foundational technology projects, such as migrating servers to the cloud and modernizing new and existing applications.
On May 27, 2026 NSF announced the Tech Accelerators initiative — a new program structure that funds independent organizations to stand up topic-specific accelerators in four deliberately under-capitalized deep-tech areas: agricultural technology, materials technology, ocean technology, and scientific instrumentation. The accelerators in turn fund early-stage teams against fast-paced milestones tied to patents, pilots, licenses, and customer growth. A Request for Information on SAM.gov is open through July 14 to gather feedback on the model, the four topic areas, and prospective lead organizations. This is not yet a funding solicitation — it is the design window. Which is exactly why it matters. Here is the structural model NSF is testing, the lineage from I-Corps and Convergence Accelerator, the four-topic eligibility logic, and the realistic strategy for any organization that wants to be a lead accelerator or a funded team.
Read articleNSF published solicitation 26-508 establishing TechAccess: AI-Ready America, a three-round program to fund up to 56 statewide AI coordination hubs — one per state, the District of Columbia, and each U.S. territory — at $1M per year for three years with a possible fourth-year extension. Round one funds 10 hubs with letters of intent due June 16, 2026 and full proposals due July 16. Round two opens December 15 for an additional 20 hubs; round three covers the remainder in 2027. The program is NSF's largest single bet on AI literacy and statewide AI capacity outside of the existing AI Research Institutes. Here is the eligibility math, the convening-authority gate, the partnership architecture that wins, and the strategic question every state higher-ed system needs to answer in the next two weeks.
