The NOAA Weather Program Office issues annual Notices of Funding Opportunity supporting competitive research across six competition areas: Social Behavioral and Economic Sciences for human dimensions of weather services, Testbeds for regional weather prediction and transition initiatives, Observations for research infrastructure and data collection, Subseasonal to Seasonal forecasting for extended-range prediction, Air Quality Research and Forecasting for prediction and modeling systems, and specialized programs like VORTEX-USA for severe weather research.
AI and machine learning applications are increasingly central across all areas particularly for numerical weather prediction, data assimilation, forecast postprocessing, and climate model emulation. FY25 competitions closed December 2024. FY26 competitions typically announced in summer with proposals due in late fall.

The Department of Defense FY2026 Defense University Research Instrumentation Program (DURIP) provides funding for U.S. universities to acquire research equipment and instrumentation in areas important to national defense, including AI and machine learning hardware. The program is administered jointly by the Army Research Office (ARO), Office of Naval Research (ONR), and Air Force Office of Scientific Research (AFOSR), with approximately $34 million available and 95 awards anticipated. DURIP funds the acquisition of specialized computing hardware for AI/ML research (GPU clusters, TPUs, neuromorphic processors), robotics and autonomous systems testbeds, sensor arrays and data collection systems for machine learning training, high-performance computing infrastructure for defense-relevant AI research, and laboratory equipment for human-AI interaction studies. The program specifically supports equipment that enhances research-related education in DoD-priority disciplines. While general-purpose computing is not eligible, computing equipment directly supporting DoD-relevant AI research programs qualifies. No cost sharing is required.
Vinnova, Sweden's national innovation agency, funds projects developing applied AI solutions for Swedish industry through its Advanced Digitalization Programme. Each project can apply for between 2 and 10 million SEK (approximately $190,000 to $950,000 USD) covering up to 50% of eligible project costs. The total call budget is 60 million SEK. Projects run for 12-24 months and focus on two key areas: Intelligent Edge (AI for real-time application in the sensor chain) and AI-based decision support. All projects must address industrial needs and integrate gender equality and climate change perspectives. Scientific publications must be open access. A parallel call also funds AI and cybersecurity projects at 1-10 million SEK per project with a 50 million SEK total budget.
