Funder: National Science Foundation
Funding Amounts: EAGERs provide up to $300,000 in support for up to two years. RAISE projects can request up to $1,000,000 for up to five years.
Deadline: Continuous Submission/Not Specifiec
Objectives: This Dear Colleague Letter (DCL) welcomes proposals for the development or new application of AI-inspired tools and techniques, with opportunities in, but not limited to, four focus areas: (i) modeling and simulation, (ii) data and model analytics, (iii) concept discovery, and (iv) physical systems/experimentation.
Research on Innovative Technologies for Enhanced Learning (RITEL)
Funder: National Science Foundation
Funding Amounts: Each project will be funded for a duration of 3 years and up to $900,000.
Deadline: Nov. 4, 2025
Objectives: The purpose of the Research on Innovative Technologies for Enhanced Learning (RITEL) program is to support early-stage research in emerging technologies for teaching and learning that respond to pressing needs in authentic (real-world) educational environments. RITEL supports future-oriented exploratory and synergistic research in emerging technologies (including, but not limited to, artificial intelligence (AI), robotics, and immersive or augmenting technologies) for teaching and learning. The program accepts proposals that focus on learning, teaching, or a combination of both.
FY25 Research and Evaluation of Artificial Intelligence for Criminal Justice Purposes
Funder: National Institute of Justice/Department of Justice
Funding Amounts: $2.5M over 3 years
Deadline: June 26, 2025
Objectives: This funding opportunity seeks to support research and evaluation that advances the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in the criminal justice system. The goal is to improve the fairness, accuracy, and effectiveness of criminal justice processes through AI applications in crime prevention, public safety, and justice system decision-making. Research should explore both the benefits and limitations of AI, addressing potential risks and downstream impacts. Emphasis is placed on transparency, accountability, and civil rights protections.
Smart Health and Biomedical Research in the Era of Artificial Intelligence and Advanced Data Science
Funder: National Science Foundation
Funding Amounts: $1.2M over 4 years
Program Manager: Goli Yamini, sch-correspondence@nsf.gov
Deadline: Oct. 3, 2025
Objectives: The purpose of this interagency program solicitation is to support the development of transformative high-risk, high-reward advances in computer and information science, engineering, mathematics, statistics, behavioral and/or cognitive research to address pressing questions in the biomedical and public health communities. Transformations hinge on scientific and engineering innovations by interdisciplinary teams that develop novel methods to intuitively and intelligently collect, sense, connect, analyze and interpret data from individuals, devices and systems to enable discovery and optimize health. Solutions to these complex biomedical or public health problems demand the formation of interdisciplinary teams that are ready to address these issues, while advancing fundamental science and engineering.
Funder: Binational Industrial Research and Development (BIRD) Foundation
Funding Amounts: $1.5M (timeline TBD)
Deadlines:
Objectives: The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), the Israel Ministry of Energy, jointly with the Israel Innovation Authority and the BIRD Foundation invite you to apply for grant funding through "BIRD Energy." This program develops innovation through U.S.- Israel cooperation on a range of clean energy technologies, including renewable energy, energy efficiency, natural gas, and energy-water technologies.
To be considered, a project proposal should include: R&D cooperation between two companies or cooperation between a company and a university/research institution (one from the U.S. and one from Israel); Innovation in all areas of renewable energy and energy efficiency, such as solar and wind power, advanced vehicle technologies and alternative fuels, smart grid, storage, water-energy nexus, advanced manufacturing, AI for energy management, etc; Innovation that scales up carbon-free technologies and reduces carbon emissions; Innovation in natural gas and other associated technologies that reduces its climate impact; Significant commercial potential; the project outcome should lead to commercialization.
