Folk and Traditional Arts | Commonwealth of Pennsylvania Folk and Traditional Arts Folk and Traditional Arts are artistic traditions characteristic of specific ethnic, religious, linguistic, occupational, or regional groups. Program Update on the Availability of Pennsylvania Creative Industries’ Folk and Traditional Arts Apprenticeship Grants Please see the following update.

The RFI closed June 22. Now the forum is standing up. AI Forge is a jointly governed, university-led venture funding interpretability, control, and adversarial robustness in one-year Project Ventures — here's how the 15 challenges, the CAISI tie, and the nonprofit administrator reshape who gets funded.
Read articleOn June 1, 2026, DARPA and the National Science Foundation announced AI Forge — a jointly governed forum that will fund, guide, and manage university-led research on AI interpretability, AI control, and adversarial robustness. The RFI on sam.gov closes June 22. The forum itself will be administered by a new nonprofit launching in summer 2026. The structure is what matters: this is not a one-off solicitation, it is a multi-year venue for university-government-industry research that operates outside the normal merit-review timelines of either agency. What university research teams should be doing in the seventeen-day window between the announcement and the RFI deadline — and what the forum model means for federal AI funding through FY 2028.
Read articleOn June 1, 2026, DARPA and the National Science Foundation jointly released the AI Forge initiative — a university-only forum, administered by a nonprofit launching summer 2026, that will fund Project Ventures of roughly $750,000 to $3 million over one-year terms in three thrust areas: AI interpretability, AI control, and adversarial robustness. The RFI on SAM.gov closes June 22 at 5pm ET and is restricted to U.S. universities and military service academies, one authorized submission per institution. Intellectual property is expected to be shared across forum participants, preferably through open-source licensing. This is the most significant joint DARPA-NSF research vehicle in a decade, and it is structured to bypass the frontier-lab model entirely.
