Applicants should be interested in good stewardship of natural resources and meet the following requirements to be eligible for a grant under the program: A Weed Management Group (WMG) is eligible for assistance under the program if it consists of 3 or more persons of which at least one person shall be a "Person Participating."
"Person participating" is a person who owns 500 acres or less of nonindustrial private forest (NIPF) land in Wisconsin on which a practice or portion of a practice under the grant will be implemented. A "Responsible Party" must submit a W-9 for payment and tax purposes. "Responsible party" may be a non-profit or for-profit organization, government entity or individual as long as the funding is used on NIPF land.
The nonprofit organizations and government entities can be one of three persons participating and can apply if they are part of a WMG. A non-profit organization does not need to be 501(c)3. The "responsible party" may be changed after the grant is awarded, and before payment is received, by submitting another W-9 form.
A "Participation Agreement" for the WMG must be submitted and include the following information: The NIPF landowner as a "person participating." Contact information for the NIPF landowner. The location of the NIPF land.
Advanced written permission by the NIPF landowner for the WMG to enter and conduct practices on NIPF land. Advanced written permission by the NIPF landowner to allow WMG to share contact information with the department. Note: If the NIPF landowners are not known at the time of application, they must be added to the Participation Agreement before the WMG conducts a practice.
Applicants are encouraged to contact the Forest Invasive Plant Specialist for guidance prior to completing the application. Applications will be funded on the basis of priorities, need and feasibility. Up to 20% of the grant funds may be designated annually for the rapid response to early detection species upon discovery.
Rapid response practice means a practice to control or eradicate "prohibited" invasive plants listed in s. NR40, Wis. Admin.
Code and early detection species, those invasive plants new to the state or to a region of the state as determined by the department. Applications for rapid response practices are accepted year-round. If appropriate, applications submitted for rapid response funding will receive immediate approval and grant award.
As species may be detected and reported by anyone, the department will coordinate the distribution of the funding based on the species and the feasibility of control. Rapid response funding does not require match.

The Transforming Queensland Manufacturing Grants Program is a AUD 79.1 million capital co-investment program, and its Round 2 offers AUD 12.5 million in matched grants of AUD 100,000 to 1.5 million (roughly 66,000 to 990,000 US dollars) covering up to half the cost of adopting advanced manufacturing technology. Eligible purchases include advanced robotics, cobots and automation, Industry 4.0 and 5.0 equipment such as simulation and digital-twin systems, autonomous equipment and AR/VR, and AI, IoT and ERP/MRP/MES integration, along with installation, commissioning, training, servers, twelve months of software licences and cybersecurity. Half of the Round 2 pool is reserved for regional Queensland, which improves odds for manufacturers outside south-east Queensland. The program is for capital adoption rather than research: R&D, leased equipment and costs incurred before the grant agreement are ineligible, and freight and infrastructure upgrades are capped at 10 per cent of equipment costs. Applicants must co-fund at least 50 per cent in cash, and the government may require security such as a bank guarantee. Applications are submitted through SmartyGrants and close on 25 November 2026 at 1:00 pm AEST with no late applications accepted; further rounds are expected roughly every six months through 2028.
Industrial AI Upper Austria 2026 is a regional call run by the Austrian Research Promotion Agency (FFG) for the Province of Upper Austria under the #upperVISION2030 strategy and the state's WunderKInd OÖ AI initiative. It funds cooperative research and development projects that apply artificial intelligence to raise the efficiency, productivity and competitiveness of Upper Austrian industrial and manufacturing companies. Applicants choose one of three topics: AI-supported machines, meaning near-machine AI used in industrial and production companies; AI-supported production and manufacturing processes; and AI-supported networks and supporting business processes. About EUR 4 million is available. Each project can receive between EUR 100,000 and EUR 600,000, and the funding rate depends on each partner's organisation type and the research category. Projects can last up to 36 months, must be located in Upper Austria, and must be written in German. Proposals go through the FFG eCall system by 10 December 2026 at 12:00 noon, and funding decisions are expected from mid-March 2027.
Virginia has established the AIS Innovation in Education Pilot Program in statute at Code of Virginia Section 22.1-20.2:1, directing the Department of Education to fund, evaluate and scale safe and innovative uses of artificial intelligence systems in public elementary and secondary schools. The programme supports school divisions piloting AI applications across five named uses: instruction, tutoring, student engagement, operational efficiency and teacher support. Two statutory requirements give the programme more analytical weight than a typical technology pilot fund. Every selected division must include professional development for educators on AI literacy and responsible use, and every division must develop and submit an evaluation plan measuring the impact of AI use on student learning, teacher workload and equity outcomes. The explicit inclusion of teacher workload as a measured outcome is notable, since it treats staff time as a primary rather than incidental effect of classroom AI. The Department is directed to prioritise proposals from divisions serving diverse student populations, including high-poverty, rural and under-resourced divisions. The programme is supported by 2,000,000 dollars in the FY2027 to FY2028 budget and expires 1 July 2030, giving it a defined four-cycle life. School divisions or consortia apply competitively by 1 August each year, with annual reports required to legislative committees.

The binding constraint is not competition — the last round funded every applicant — it is the UW research-design preapproval due December 18, 2026.
Read articleSLCGP funding fell 67 percent from $279.9M to $91.7M while the local match rose from 30 to 40 percent — and FY2025 is the final year of the program's four-year authorization. Michigan's window closes October 11 with a 40 percent match; Wisconsin's closes October 30 with none. Why identical federal money arrives on completely different terms, and what to apply for when there is no next cycle.
