NSF 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 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 articleOn July 22, 2026, NSF announced $83M in Integrated Data Systems & Services (IDSS) awards — national-scale data infrastructure that sits underneath AI-for-science alongside NAIRR. Category I awards run $10M–$30M over five years; Category II transitions regional pilots to national operations. The FY26 cohort is set and the July 28 deadline just closed. Here is who won, how the two categories and the one-proposal rule work, and how to build a competitive submission for the annual cycle that reopens next July.
