NIFA Adoption of Precision Agriculture program addresses implementation barriers in precision agriculture including site-specific management precision livestock farming and AI-enabled sensing and information technologies. The program funds research and extension projects that help producers overcome the three main obstacles to precision agriculture adoption: initial cost uncertain economic returns and technology complexity.
The program particularly emphasizes support for small- and medium-sized producers who have distinct needs compared to large producers by encouraging knowledge-sharing to help them access technology benefits.
Funded projects include AI-powered crop monitoring soil health sensing remote sensing for crop stress detection autonomous robots for harvesting and targeted herbicide application weed detection algorithms combining computer vision with robotic sprayers and smart packaging systems for food safety. The program falls under Agriculture Systems and Technology and Advanced Technologies topics within NIFA competitive grant framework.
This is distinct from the USDA NIFA AFRI AI-Enabled Agricultural Science program which specifically funds data science and AI foundational research and from NSF AI-ENGAGE which funds international agricultural AI partnerships.

Current published award information indicates Individual awards typically range from $50,000 to $500,000 for competitive grants under the Precision Geospatial and Sensor Technologies Programs. Funding levels vary by fiscal year and program area. Always verify allowable costs, matching requirements, and funding caps directly in the sponsor documentation.
The current target date is rolling deadlines or periodic funding windows. Build your timeline backwards from this date to cover registrations, approvals, attachments, and final submission checks.
Federal grant success rates typically range from 10-30%, varying by agency and program. Build a strong proposal with clear objectives, measurable outcomes, and a well-justified budget to improve your chances.
Requirements vary by sponsor, but typically include a project narrative, budget justification, organizational capability statement, and key personnel CVs. Check the official notice for the complete list of required attachments.
Yes — AI tools like Granted can help research funders, draft proposal sections, and check compliance. However, always review and customize AI-generated content to reflect your organization's unique strengths and the specific requirements of the solicitation.
Review timelines vary by funder. Federal agencies typically take 3-6 months from submission to award notification. Foundation grants may be faster, often 1-3 months. Check the program's timeline in the official solicitation for specific dates.
Many federal programs offer multi-year funding or allow competitive renewals. Check the official solicitation for continuation and renewal policies. Non-competing continuation applications are common for multi-year awards.
ARPA-H MOCS (Making Obstetrics Care Smart) develops technology to help families and care teams plan for and have safe deliveries by generating tools to predict both chronic and acute fetal status and provide the best recommendations for intervention. The program uses new sensors paired with artificial intelligence and machine learning to predict infant status. Two technical areas are funded: (1) risk scoring systems for predicting low fetal oxygen levels using AI/ML models and (2) novel non-invasive wireless monitoring methods to assess fetal risk continuously during labor and delivery. The program addresses the critical challenge that current fetal monitoring technologies have high false positive rates leading to unnecessary interventions while missing genuine distress signals. Pre-proposal discussions were required before full proposal submission. This is distinct from ARPA-H AIR which focuses on surgical robotics and from ARPA-H ADVOCATE which develops agentic AI for cardiovascular care.
NSF SaTC 2.0 (Security Privacy and Trust in Cyberspace) is the largest open solicitation for university-led cybersecurity research in the federal portfolio now expanded with AI security as an explicit priority area. The 2.0 reboot added generative AI security open-source software security quantum computing security and supply chain security as topics of interest addressing the bidirectional role of AI as both a cybersecurity threat and a defensive tool. Research awards support adversarial machine learning and attacks on AI systems AI weaponization against people information and systems privacy-preserving machine learning and responsible AI use for detecting and responding to cyber threats. The program funds three award types: Research awards up to $1.2M for four years Education awards up to $500K for three years and Seedling awards up to $300K for two years through Dear Colleague Letters. Proposals are accepted on a recurring annual basis with two windows per year. This is distinct from NSF CyberAICorps which focuses on scholarship and workforce development and from NSF AIMing which focuses on AI formal methods and mathematical reasoning.
ARPA-H ADVOCATE (Agentic AI-Enabled Cardiovascular Care Transformation) aims to develop the first FDA-authorized agentic AI technology for 24/7 specialty cardiovascular care. The program will select teams of innovators to create patient-facing AI agents that can supplement clinicians by scheduling appointments adjusting medications and supporting diet and exercise for cardiovascular disease which causes 200,000 preventable deaths per year despite inexpensive widely available treatments. The program funds three technical areas: (1) patient-facing clinical AI agent development (2) a supervisory agent to monitor safety and effectiveness of deployed clinical AI in real time and (3) scalable integration plans for healthcare organizational workflows. ARPA-H plans to select teams within six months by June 2026. This is distinct from ARPA-H AIR which focuses on autonomous surgical robotics and from ARPA-H PRECISE-AI which focuses on monitoring degradation of existing AI tools rather than developing new agentic systems.
