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.

The NEH Humanities Research Centers on Artificial Intelligence program funds the creation of university-based humanities research centers focused on the ethical, legal, and societal implications of artificial intelligence. Funded centers undertake interdisciplinary humanities-led research that brings ethics, law, history, philosophy, anthropology, religious studies, literature, linguistics, and cultural studies to bear on questions raised by AI systems. Topics include responsible AI governance frameworks, AI and civil rights, AI and labor, cultural impact of generative AI, AI and creative authorship, philosophical foundations of machine reasoning, history of AI thought, and humanistic evaluation of AI safety and alignment. Centers are expected to convene researchers, train new humanities scholars in AI, host public-facing programming, and produce publications and translational tools that inform policy and public understanding. Strong fit for universities seeking to launch sustained interdisciplinary AI humanities research programs in partnership with computer science and other STEM departments.
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.
The Air Force Research Laboratory Information Directorate's Geospatial Intelligence Processing and Exploitation (GeoPEX) Broad Agency Announcement, FA8750-21-S-7006, is an open two-step BAA soliciting white papers for research, development, integration, test, and evaluation of technologies and techniques to provide geospatial intelligence (GEOINT) in all its forms and from whatever source, including imagery, imagery intelligence, and geospatial data. Explicit focus areas include AI/ML techniques for full-spectrum GEOINT, multi-INT data fusion, cloud-based high-performance computing for geospatial analytics, photogrammetry, computer vision for overhead imagery, automated target recognition, change detection, multi-modal foundation models for geospatial data, and edge AI for tactical reconnaissance. The BAA is open and effective until 30 September 2026 with rolling white paper submission; only white papers are accepted as initial submissions and formal proposals are accepted by invitation only. Strong fit for AI and computer vision performers building geospatial analytics, foundation models, or autonomous reconnaissance tools for Air Force, intelligence community, and combatant command users.
USDA-NIFA-HEP-011737 puts $14 million behind roughly 28 awards of up to $705,000 for graduate fellowships in food and agricultural sciences. No match is required. But two eligibility rules — the new-graduate-student definition and the citizenship requirement — disqualify most of the students a department would naturally nominate.
