The NSF Directorate for Biological Sciences (BIO) issued Dear Colleague Letter NSF 24-131 encouraging proposals at the intersection of biology and artificial intelligence/machine learning. The DCL invites researchers to submit proposals through existing BIO solicitations with titles prefixed 'BIO-AI:' for priority consideration.
The program supports research that either uses AI/ML to advance biological science or develops new AI/ML methods inspired by or validated against biological data.
Priority areas include implementing existing AI/ML methods to answer previously intractable biological questions, developing novel AI/ML models that provide new biological insights, validating AI/ML results against traditional experimental and observational methods, and creating publicly available datasets, software tools, and trained workforce at the biology-AI intersection.
Proposals solely aimed at generating new data are not encouraged. The DCL emphasizes interdisciplinary partnerships between biologists and AI/ML experts and provides access to computing resources through the National AI Research Resource (NAIRR) Pilot.
This mechanism enables AI researchers to apply for funding through any of NSF BIO's existing divisions — including Molecular and Cellular Biosciences, Integrative Organismal Systems, Environmental Biology, and Biological Infrastructure — with the BIO-AI prefix signaling alignment with this initiative. Researchers are encouraged to contact bio-ai@nsf. gov before submission.

The NSF CISE Future Computing Research (Future CoRe) program supports research in computing and communication foundations, intelligent systems, and network systems. The program funds innovative research that advances the frontiers of computing including artificial intelligence, machine learning, computer vision, natural language processing, and robotics. This is one of NSF's largest computing research programs with $280 million in total budget. Projects can address fundamental computing challenges, novel AI architectures, scalable intelligent systems, and next-generation network infrastructure.
NSF's Arctic Research Opportunities solicitation funds roughly 75 awards a year — up to $50 million — across six program areas from natural sciences to social sciences to the Arctic Observing Network. The July 15, 2026 target date is not a hard deadline, and understanding that distinction is the first strategic decision an Arctic researcher makes. Here is how the six doors differ and how to choose the right one.

Read articleDear Colleague Letter NSF 26-024, issued August 27, 2026, asks nine questions about the future of NSF-supported ocean observing. It is the input mechanism NSF promised in June when it halted the dismantling of the $386 million Ocean Observatories Initiative. Responses are capped at 3,250 characters per question and become public.
