Can you submit more than one application for different emphasis/project areas? Yes. There is no limit on the number of applications that may be submitted.
However, priority will be given to applications that address specific traffic safety challenge(s) supported by data. 2. Does an applicant need to be based out of Colorado or are you still eligible to apply if you serve Colorado but do not have a physical location there?
Year-long community based projects require a physical presence and location. However, short-term time limited projects will not be required to have a physical location. 3.
Can an agency or community request funds under both non-law enforcement and law enforcement? Only law enforcement agencies can apply for both non-law enforcement and law enforcement funds. Community based agencies can only apply for non-law enforcement funds.
4. What is the difference between advertising and media/paid media campaigns? Why is advertising considered an unallowable expense?
Advertising is generally an unallowable expense under 2 CFR 200 because federal funds are intended for direct program implementation, not to promote an organization's image, generate revenue, or boost public relations. Paid media that is intended to inform the public about the program, and to educate or raise awareness is allowable.
According to the current listing, eligibility includes: Law enforcement agencies may apply for both law enforcement and non-law enforcement funds; community-based organizations limited to non-law enforcement funds. Year-long projects require a Colorado physical presence. Confirm the full requirements in the official notice before applying.

The Department of Defense FY2026 Defense University Research Instrumentation Program (DURIP) provides funding for U.S. universities to acquire research equipment and instrumentation in areas important to national defense, including AI and machine learning hardware. The program is administered jointly by the Army Research Office (ARO), Office of Naval Research (ONR), and Air Force Office of Scientific Research (AFOSR), with approximately $34 million available and 95 awards anticipated. DURIP funds the acquisition of specialized computing hardware for AI/ML research (GPU clusters, TPUs, neuromorphic processors), robotics and autonomous systems testbeds, sensor arrays and data collection systems for machine learning training, high-performance computing infrastructure for defense-relevant AI research, and laboratory equipment for human-AI interaction studies. The program specifically supports equipment that enhances research-related education in DoD-priority disciplines. While general-purpose computing is not eligible, computing equipment directly supporting DoD-relevant AI research programs qualifies. No cost sharing is required.
Vinnova, Sweden's national innovation agency, funds projects developing applied AI solutions for Swedish industry through its Advanced Digitalization Programme.

Projects run for 12-24 months and focus on two key areas: Intelligent Edge (AI for real-time application in the sensor chain) and AI-based decision support. All projects must address industrial needs and integrate gender equality and climate change perspectives. Scientific publications must be open access. A parallel call also funds AI and cybersecurity projects at 1-10 million SEK per project with a 50 million SEK total budget.

Read articleOn June 2, 2026, the Department of Energy's Office of Critical Minerals and Energy Innovation selected two demonstration-scale facilities — Phoenix Tailings (with MIT and the University of Minnesota) for $66 million, and the Colorado School of Mines (with ElementUSA, PNNL, Principal Mineral, and Rare Earth Technologies Inc.) for the balance — under the Rare Earth Elements Demonstration Facility Program. Both projects pull rare earths from industrial waste — red mud at the Gramercy refinery in Louisiana, and a mix of mine and refining tailings elsewhere. Here is what the selections tell researchers, small businesses, and downstream magnet customers about where DOE thinks the chokepoint actually is, and what to do before the next demonstration-scale solicitation opens.
