Past winners and funding trends for this program
ATE is the largest federal program aimed squarely at educating technicians for high-technology fields, and the FY2026 competition is the practical vehicle for community colleges building artificial intelligence technician pathways. The solicitation is explicit that emerging areas such as artificial intelligence and quantum information sciences are expected to be supported as industry defines its needs for skilled technical workers, which means an AI technician program - data annotation and pipeline work, model deployment and MLOps support, AI-enabled maintenance and inspection, prompt and agent operations - is squarely fundable rather than a stretch. The defining structural requirement, and the one that most often derails outside applicants, is that faculty from two-year institutions of higher education must hold significant leadership roles on all projects. A university or nonprofit can participate, but the community college has to lead in substance, not on paper. The second requirement is a genuine industry partnership: ATE exists to align curriculum with employer demand, and proposals without documented employer commitments to advisory boards, work-based learning placements or hiring do not compete. Four tracks accommodate very different scales, from Track 1 small-scale projects at up to USD 475,000 through Track 4 ATE Centers at up to USD 7,500,000 over five years, and the program encourages proposals from Minority Serving Institutions and work that supports recruitment, retention and completion of diverse talent in associate-degree technician programs. The FY2026 full proposal deadline is 1 October 2026 by 5:00 PM submitter local time, with the deadline recurring on the first Thursday in October annually thereafter.

PA-27-037 consolidates the Predoctoral to Postdoctoral Transition Award into a single parent announcement across 20 NIH components, with the next deadline December 8, 2026. The eligibility gate is not the science — it is a mandatory change of institution and mentor between the F99 and K00 phases.

Read articlePA-27-034, PA-27-035 and PA-27-036 replace the institute-specific R25 announcements that research education programs have been built around for a decade. NCI, NIDA and NIGMS have already expired theirs early. Here is what the consolidation actually changes: an 8% indirect cost ceiling, a US-citizens-and-permanent-residents participant rule, a cooperative agreement variant that only exists on one of the three, and no clinical-trial-allowed companion anywhere.
