NSF Solicitation 26-508 funds the TechAccess: AI-Ready America program, supporting State and Territory-level Coordination Hubs that connect partners, strengthen planning and deployment, and rapidly scale approaches to expand access to AI knowledge, tools, and resources across the United States.
Each Hub builds a state-wide network of community colleges, universities, K-12 schools, libraries, workforce boards, employers, and government agencies to deliver AI literacy, workforce training, and access to compute and learning resources. The program aims to ensure that every American has the opportunity to participate in the AI economy regardless of geography or institution. Awards span 3 years and are funded at $1M per year.

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.
NSF 26-516 folds Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences, Earth Sciences and Ocean Sciences into a single GEO Core solicitation: $110 million, 200 to 350 awards, proposals accepted anytime. Geosciences piloted no-deadline review nine years ago and knows what it does to submission volume. Here is the per-award math, the ship-time and permitting traps, and the two-year data-archive clock that now governs every award.
Read articleNSF 26-520 consolidates 14 mathematical sciences programs into $200 million and 400 to 600 awards with no per-PI cap and no deadline. Folded into it are Research Training Groups and Focused Research Groups — department-scale, cohort-building competitions that ran on a fixed annual date. Here is why removing that date is a different kind of change for training grants than for single-investigator grants, and what math departments should do before the fall.
Read articleNSF 26-522 consolidates AAG, ATI and MSIP into a single astronomical sciences solicitation with $100 million and about 140 awards. Accomplishment-based renewals will be returned without review, voluntary cost sharing is prohibited, and routine instrument upgrades are explicitly deprioritized. The new Innovations track — one to three awards a year — is where facility operations and community observing time now live.
