The purpose of the program is to advance basic research in AI and the astronomical sciences through support for up to two national AI research institutes. The program intends to support institutes that have, as their primary focus, the co-advancement of astronomy, astrophysics and artificial intelligence through multidisciplinary, multi-stakeholder research on large-scale, longer-term horizon challenges.
The institutes will accelerate the development of transformational technologies by grounding that research in critical astronomy and astrophysics challenges that can advance foundational research in both AI and astronomical sciences. They will also actively build the next generation of AI workforce in the astronomical sciences. NSF and the Simons Foundation have each committed $20,000,000 to support up to two institutes over five years.
The average total size and duration of a grant will be $4M per year for 5 years, evenly split between the NSF and the Simons Foundation.

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.
