NSF 25-545 STEM K-12 is a new $30 million program supporting innovative, multidisciplinary research and development that builds theory and informs education practice in a rapidly evolving technological landscape, with a specific emphasis on artificial intelligence and emerging technologies.
The program supports fundamental, applied, and translational research that enhances STEM teaching and learning across formal and informal K-12 settings, including how AI and other emerging technologies can be effectively leveraged to study and enhance STEM teaching and learning.
Released in September 2025 as part of the coordinated federal response to Executive Order 14277 on advancing AI education for American youth, the program accepts proposals on a rolling basis with no fixed deadline.
Strong fit for education researchers, learning scientists, AI/HCI researchers, and PreK-12 education developers exploring AI tutoring, intelligent tutoring systems, AI-augmented assessments, AI literacy curricula, and AI for STEM teacher preparation.

The NEH Humanities Research Centers on Artificial Intelligence program funds the creation of university-based humanities research centers focused on the ethical, legal, and societal implications of artificial intelligence. Funded centers undertake interdisciplinary humanities-led research that brings ethics, law, history, philosophy, anthropology, religious studies, literature, linguistics, and cultural studies to bear on questions raised by AI systems. Topics include responsible AI governance frameworks, AI and civil rights, AI and labor, cultural impact of generative AI, AI and creative authorship, philosophical foundations of machine reasoning, history of AI thought, and humanistic evaluation of AI safety and alignment. Centers are expected to convene researchers, train new humanities scholars in AI, host public-facing programming, and produce publications and translational tools that inform policy and public understanding. Strong fit for universities seeking to launch sustained interdisciplinary AI humanities research programs in partnership with computer science and other STEM departments.
SaTC 2.0 is NSF's flagship cybersecurity, privacy, and trust research program reorganized to address emerging threats including generative AI security, open-source software security, quantum computing security, and supply chain security. Funded scope covers the bidirectional role of AI as both a cybersecurity threat (adversarial attacks on AI systems, AI-enabled cyberattacks, data poisoning) and a defensive tool (AI for intrusion detection, automated vulnerability discovery, secure-by-design AI). The program supports interdisciplinary collaboration across computer science, mathematics, social and behavioral sciences, and STEM education to build trust in global cyber ecosystems.
NSF SaTC 2.0 (Security Privacy and Trust in Cyberspace) is the largest open solicitation for university-led cybersecurity research in the federal portfolio now expanded with AI security as an explicit priority area. The 2.0 reboot added generative AI security open-source software security quantum computing security and supply chain security as topics of interest addressing the bidirectional role of AI as both a cybersecurity threat and a defensive tool. Research awards support adversarial machine learning and attacks on AI systems AI weaponization against people information and systems privacy-preserving machine learning and responsible AI use for detecting and responding to cyber threats. The program funds three award types: Research awards up to $1.2M for four years Education awards up to $500K for three years and Seedling awards up to $300K for two years through Dear Colleague Letters. Proposals are accepted on a recurring annual basis with two windows per year. This is distinct from NSF CyberAICorps which focuses on scholarship and workforce development and from NSF AIMing which focuses on AI formal methods and mathematical reasoning.
The National Science Foundation is running two funding realities at once: a Congressional budget that rejected historic cuts and a DOGE campaign that gutted STEM education and social science research.
Read articleThe NSF Robert Noyce Teacher Scholarship Program makes roughly $68 million available to fund the pipeline of STEM majors and professionals into K-12 classrooms in high-need districts, with awards up to $3.25 million and a full-proposal deadline on the last Tuesday of August 2026. For this cycle, NSF has waived the Track 2 and Track 3 cost-sharing requirement — a change that quietly removes the single biggest barrier for many applicant institutions. Here is how the four tracks work and how to build a competitive proposal.
Read articleThe renamed CyberAICorps Scholarship for Service (NSF 26-503) pays students $27,000 to $37,000 a year plus full tuition, funds institutional awards up to roughly $2.5 million, and adds a service obligation in government AI and cybersecurity roles. The July 21 Scholarship Track deadline is a workforce-policy tell disguised as a grant. Here is what changed, who qualifies, and how universities should position.
