DARPA Strategic Technology Office Innovation Solutions Opening for AI Autonomy and Robotics (DARPA-PS-26-09) is sponsored by DARPA Strategic Technology Office (STO). This rolling solicitation accepts proposals for revolutionary advances in national security technology, specifically seeking innovative approaches for topics not addressed by ongoing STO programs or other published DARPA solicitations.
The DARPA Strategic Technology Office-wide Innovation Solutions Opening (DARPA-PS-26-09) is a rolling solicitation that accepts proposals for revolutionary advances in national security technology. STO's primary technology interests include advanced computing, AI applications, autonomy algorithms, communications, electromagnetic warfare, radar and sensing, robotics, directed energy systems, space systems, human-machine collaboration, signal processing, and logistics analytics. The program uses a two-phase process: applicants first submit 3-page abstracts describing their innovative idea; promising concepts receive invitations for full proposals. Work must represent revolutionary advances rather than incremental improvements and demonstrate clear national security relevance. This is distinct from DARPA's DSO and I2O office-wide BAAs, focusing specifically on STO's mission of system-level integration and operational capability demonstration. The solicitation remains open through October 31, 2027, providing a long runway for submission. STO particularly values solutions that bridge the gap between laboratory research and operational deployment.
DoD Multidisciplinary Research Program of the University Research Initiative (MURI) is sponsored by Department of Defense (DoD) - Office of Naval Research (ONR). The Multidisciplinary Research Program of the University Research Initiative (MURI), administered by the Department of Defense Office of Naval Research, supports basic research in science and engineering at U. S.
SBIR SF254-D1206: Knowledge-Guided Test and Evaluation Frameworks for proliferated Low Earth Orbit Constellations is sponsored by U.S. Air Force. DOD SBIR topic SF254-D1206: Knowledge-Guided Test and Evaluation Frameworks for proliferated Low Earth Orbit Constellations. Component: U.S. Air Force. Command: SDA. Solicitation: DoD SBIR 2025.4. Phase(s): D2PII, II, SPII. Status: Pre-Release. Open date: 3/4/2026.
MTO opened six SBIR topics on May 27 with a single June 24 close: nanopore proteomics, compact wideband tunable RF filters, 800°C-rated integrated circuits, passive thermal spreaders, radiation-hardened codesign, and low-resource computing for legacy hardware reuse. Together they map the office's bet on where U.S. semiconductor advantage gets reasserted — and which small businesses get to ride along.
Read articleUSDA's Food and Nutrition Service is running the FY 2026 SNAP Process and Technology Improvement Grants with $5 million in total funding, approximately 12 awards ranging from $20,000 to $200,000, and a June 29 application deadline. The program funds state agencies, local governments, and private nonprofits — including food banks and community-based organizations — to modernize SNAP application processing, eligibility determination, and customer communications. The pool is small but the program is the only federal vehicle that lets nonprofits, not just states, build SNAP delivery infrastructure. Here is the strategic read for nonprofit, state, and county applicants.
Read articleDARPA MTO opened six FY26 SBIR topics on May 27 with a June 24 deadline — nanopore proteomics, compact RF filters, 800°C ICs, passive thermal spreaders, radiation-hardened codesign, and low-resource computing. The topics read like a wishlist for the next decade of contested-environment microelectronics. Here is what each one is actually asking for, and how small businesses should triage the four-week window.
