This Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) invites exploratory grant applications, hereafter referred to as the Novel Experiential Technologies Assisting Individual learning Hubs or NExT AI Hubs (formerly Learning Disabilities Innovation Hubs), to address the impact of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies on developmental outcomes in children diagnosed with or at risk for developing a specific learning disability (SLD) impacting reading, writing, and mathematics. NExT AI Hubs include a single Research Project and a Leadership Core that support the goals and aims of the Hub. This NOFO seeks to serve as a catalyst to 1) speed the maturation of nascent/novel, high-impact, high-risk research that advances understanding of the role AI technology plays in supporting, improving, or limiting the learning, cognitive, and socio-emotional needs of children at risk for or diagnosed with SLDs, 2) build an evidence base for the SLD community to inform policy or practice, and 3) provide project-embedded, career-enhancing research and professional development opportunities to support the next generation of transdisciplinary SLD scientists. This initiative provides opportunities to support planning and building a body of research and corresponding intellectual infrastructure to enable NExT AI investigators to compete for large research and program project opportunities in the future.This NOFO aims to integrate research topics that are of relevance to various research programs at the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) and align with the NICHD Strategic Plan. The NOFO intends to build cross-programmatic, transdisciplinary and cross-cutting scientific research, and critically nurture the development of early career investigators capable of conducting this research. Funding Opportunity Number: RFA-HD-27-006. Assistance Listing: 93.865. Funding Instrument: G. Category: HL. Award Amount: $1.6M total program funding.

Provide Federal financial assistance (FFA) towards the OSW MIIs and OSW's Manufacturing Education and Workforce Development (M-EWD) project and expand the use and applications of Other Transaction Authorities to drive Advanced Manufacturing Technology solutions. Avoiding gaps in performance and seeking continuation of governance for five MIIs. OSW ManTech establishes a system of governance with each MII and collaborates with them to perform the following: 1. Advance AM technology, growing the AM workforce, and expanding the AM ecosystem (America Makes MII); 2. Drive digital adoption in manufacturing, solve critical manufacturing challenges, and build a highly skilled workforce that can keep up with global competition(MxD MII); 3. Advance materials, materials R&D manufacturing technologies R&D, and education workforce development efforts (LIFT MII); 4. Develop and offer next-generation integrated photonic circuit fabrication and test, assembly, and packaging (TAP) capabilities to the U.S. ecosystem (AIM Photonics MII); 5. Expand advanced manufacturing for flexible hybrid electronics to align yield and reliability with standards and grow the semiconductor workforce (NextFlex MII); 6. Continue to improve manufacturing methods for highly functional fabrics that benefit the warfighter and expand training opportunities for an advanced fiber and textile manufacturing workforce (Revolutionary Fibers & Textiles (RFT) MII); 7. Enhance manufacturing methods and capabilities for tissue engineered medical products and expand certification and credentialing programs for the biomedical manufacturing workforce (BioFabUSA MII); 8. Continue R&D investments in advanced robotics and associated artificial intelligence (AI) technologies for manufacturing and develop/sustain a competent robotics workforce (ARM MII); and 9. Continue progress on infrastructure investments for bioindustrial manufacturing, conduct project calls to address bioindustrial technical challenges as well as workforce development and biosafety, biosecurity, sustainability, and social responsibility (BioMADE MII). OSW ManTech’s whole-of-government Manufacturing Education and Workforce Development (M-EWD) Project plays a key role in bridging the gap between forward thinkers in the manufacturing industry and Department of War (DoW). The M-EWD Program will continue its mission to work alongside regional ecosystems to develop and enhance already established education systems to assist in the creation of a high-performance manufacturing workforce ready to support the needs of the defense industrial base (DIB). The M-EWD team works alongside the DoW MIIs to grow a workforce that is agile and ready to tackle the challenges of an ever-evolving manufacturing industry. This listing is currently active.

The FY26 BLM Youth Conservation Corps NOFO (L26AS00064) holds a Round Two deadline of October 16, 2026 — $900,000, eight awards, $30,000 to $220,000 each. Its siblings are larger and richer, and every one of them explicitly bars Public Lands Corps work. That exclusion, not the dollar figure, is the strategy.
Read articleThe William T. Grant Foundation's Research Grants on Reducing Inequality fund studies — $100K-$600K over 2-3 years — that test how to actually reduce disparities in youth outcomes, not just document them. The next Letter of Inquiry is due July 29, 2026, and a new one-application-per-cycle rule raises the stakes. Here's how the program is designed and how researchers should position a competitive LOI.
