NSF and Lemelson Foundation launch first joint research awards for Environmental Sustainability in Engineering Education Empowering future engineers to tackle climate challenges and drive sustainable innovation The U.S. National Science Foundation and The Lemelson Foundation have awarded funding through the NSF Research in the Formation of Engineers program for five projects to integrate sustainability topics into engineering curricula.
Supported in part by a $3 million, three-year investment from The Lemelson Foundation, this partnership aims to prepare future engineers to address critical challenges like infrastructure resilience, clean energy and the growth of emerging industries and manufacturing.
"These projects from the NSF-Lemelson initiative will help prepare engineering students to consider sustainability as they address complex challenges for our nation’s industry, infrastructure and health," said Susan Margulies, NSF assistant director for Engineering. "The curricula and training that result will empower and inspire engineering students to make a difference in their communities."
Each project offers a unique approach to advancing responsible engineering education. North Carolina A&T State University will incorporate environmental and social considerations throughout its industrial and systems engineering curriculum. Researchers at the University of Arizona and the University of Michigan are exploring strategic prompts in coursework to inspire design decisions that prioritize environmental impact.
Arizona State University, in collaboration with Kennesaw State University and Villanova University , is developing a network to support educators in enhancing sustainable engineering instruction.
Rochester Institute of Technology will introduce activities aimed at helping students adopt a more eco-conscious engineering mindset, while Harvey Mudd College's systems thinking framework will guide students in evaluating the environmental, social and ethical aspects of engineering challenges. These projects aim to create new models for engineering education to train engineers to lead sustainable innovations.

The Robotics Grant Program is a grant from the Alabama State Department of Education (ALSDE) that funds school-based robotics programs for elementary, middle, and high school students. Awarded through a competitive application process, the program provides up to $3,500 to eligible local education agencies (LEAs) in Alabama. Applicants must be public school systems submitting on behalf of schools with K–12 students. The grant supports the purchase of robotics equipment and program development aligned with AMSTI guidelines. Applications are submitted online through the AMSTI Robotics Grant portal. The Fiscal Year 2026 application deadline was September 30, 2025. Questions should be directed to robotics@amsti.org. The program is managed by the Alabama State Department of Education under State Superintendent Eric G. Mackey.
NSF's TechAccess: AI-Ready America commits up to $224 million to build one AI-readiness coordination hub in every state, DC, and U.S. territory. Round 1 closed July 16, 2026 — but Rounds 2 and 3 are still open, and most states are still up for grabs. Here is how the hub structure works, who is eligible, why cost sharing is banned, and how to position an institution to own its state's hub.
Read articleNSF just put $83 million into six national-scale data systems through its Integrated Data Systems and Services program — the plumbing that makes AI-for-science actually work. Here is who won, how the three-category structure (national-scale, transition, planning) really functions, why the Category III planning grant is the on-ramp most teams should be aiming at, and how to build readiness before the next fourth-Tuesday-in-July deadline.
Read articleNSF's new AI Datasets solicitation puts up to $100 million behind a specific bet: that the bottleneck in AI-for-science is not models but data. Here is how the three award tiers work — Flagship up to $5M, Impact up to $2M, Planning up to $200K — who is eligible, why voluntary cost sharing is banned, and how to build a proposal that survives review before the November 4, 2026 deadline.
