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.

On August 26, 2026, NSF named the STC class of 2026: TEMPEST at Michigan State, GENIE at Northwestern, and a human-robot co-adaptation center at UT Austin. $90 million total, $6 million a year each. The 2023 class was four centers and $120 million. The award size is intact; the shelf space shrank 25 percent — and that is the number that should reshape how you plan a center proposal.
Read articleOn July 22, 2026 the White House committed more than $5 billion to expand the Genesis Mission — the government-wide 'AI for science' effort — announcing 278 first projects and 14 National Science and Technology Challenges spanning health, energy, infrastructure, manufacturing, and national security. More than 15 federal agencies are contributing awards, datasets, and facilities. Here is how the pieces fit, why it reorganizes the science-funding map, and how to position for the awards flowing out of it.
