AI-ENGAGE launched by NSF in early 2026 as a Quad-nation collaboration with Australia, India, and Japan supporting multinational research teams developing AI tools for agriculture, engineering, scientific discovery, and societal benefit. The inaugural cohort of six awards totaled $6M+ across the four partner countries.
Funded research includes precision agriculture AI, AI for crop disease detection in tropical climates, multinational AI safety benchmarks, and AI for scientific discovery. Strong fit for U.S. universities with established collaborations in Quad partner countries. The program expects continued cycles in 2026-2027 with growing scope.
Strong fit for AI faculty working in food systems AI, climate-resilient crop AI, AI for scientific discovery, and engineering AI with international research partners.

NSF NRT Advancing Ethical AI Through Convergent Research supports interdisciplinary graduate training programs that prepare PhD and master's students to research and develop ethical, trustworthy AI systems. Funded programs span fairness, privacy, safety, inclusivity, AI auditing, AI policy, sociotechnical AI research, and human-centered AI. Each training program engages multiple departments (computer science, engineering, social sciences, humanities, law, public policy) and produces a new generation of AI researchers prepared to address equity and well-being. Funded sites have included UT Austin's NRT-AI and Stony Brook's Bias-NRT. Awards provide approximately $3M over 5 years to support graduate trainees, curriculum development, professional development, and convergent research projects. Strong fit for university consortia building interdisciplinary AI ethics graduate programs.
NOAA-OAR-CIAO-2026-32786 establishes a new Cooperative Institute for the Northern Gulf of America (CINGA) advancing NOAA mission research with explicit focus on AI/ML for environmental modeling, weather and ocean forecasting, and hazard prediction. Priority research themes include improving forecasting capabilities for weather, ocean, and hazards using AI-enhanced numerical and foundation models, AI-ready data infrastructure and data stewardship, and AI/ML applications for climate-driven environmental change in the Gulf of America region. Individual task orders typically range $250K to $5M across 5+ year cooperative agreement. Strong fit for university consortia with marine and atmospheric science programs and applied AI/ML capabilities.
NSF's Expanding K-12 Resources for AI Education Dear Colleague Letter invites current NSF awardees to request supplemental funding up to $300,000 (or 20% of their original budget) to scale and expand established AI education activities into new K-12 settings. Eligible work includes producing open-access AI curricula, teacher professional development, AI literacy modules, student-facing AI tools, evaluation studies of AI education programs, and partnerships with school districts. The DCL aligns with the Presidential AI Challenge and broader federal priorities to accelerate AI literacy in U.S. schools. Awards are issued as supplements to existing grants administered by the Directorate for STEM Education and adjacent NSF directorates.
OMB's proposed rewrite of 2 CFR Part 200 would bar political appointees from deferring to peer reviewers and require senior-appointee sign-off on every discretionary grant. NIH new awards are already down about 34% in 2026. Here is what the merit-review changes actually say, how 'Gold Standard Science' becomes a scoring lever, why R1 universities are being written out of some solicitations, and what principal investigators and research offices should do before October 1.
Read articleNSF 26-508 will deploy up to $224 million across 56 State/Territory AI Coordination Hubs over three to four years. Each hub gets $1M annually to build an AI Learning Resource Navigator, a state AI readiness plan, deployment support, capacity-building, and priority-sector coordination. The Letter of Intent is due June 16 and the full proposal July 16. Here is what the program is really buying, who is best positioned to win Round 1, and why the no-cost-share rule reshapes the partner landscape.
