Supports demonstration of the power of data reuse in advancing human health by proposing an impactful secondary data analysis research project.
Deadline: October 23, 2024
Award: Up to $500K

Supports research proposals that contribute to building a new library of evaluations within three main areas: complex reasoning, emotional & social intelligence, and agentic behaviors.
Deadline: September 6, 2024
Award: Up to 4 awards of $200K

Supports development of computational methods that measure the feasibility of claims in order to enable accurate assessments of scientific content. The program aims to demonstrate that the scientific feasibility of claims can be determined by using automated reasoning to decompose claims into constituent, verifiable parts.
Deadline: August 25, 2024
Award: Multiple awards are anticipated.

Supports the design of novel AI tools and capabilities to find and fix vulnerabilities in software used in critical infrastructure like transportation, water and wastewater systems, emergency services, and energy sources.
Deadline: August 2024 (Semifinal), August 2025 (Final)
Award: 7 teams will be awarded $2M from the semifinal competition; final awards up to $4M

Supports research, development, integration, test and evaluation of technologies/techniques to provide geospatial intelligence (GEOINT) in all its forms and from whatever source to ensure a solid foundation of knowledge for planning, decision, and action while creating tailored, customer-specific geospatial intelligence, analytic services, and solutions.
Deadline: September 30, 2024; recurring on September 30, 2025 and September 30, 2026
Award: $250K-$10M for durations up to two years

Assess and understand capabilities without access to internals, a goal which will be expedited by having access to the internals of open-sourced models, given the architectural similarity to proprietary models.
Deadline: December 7, 2024

Supports ground-breaking research in sociotechnical system innovation, health ecosystem integration, and adaptive and antifragile solutions to enable revolutionary advances in science, technology, systems, or methodology.
Deadline: March 14, 2025 (running submission)
Awards: Multiple awards are expected

Supports the demands of complex, modern-day systems, computational models and simulators have become the primary artifacts for encoding, propagating, and applying expert knowledge to real-world science and engineering problems.

Supports the use of AI to improve resilience of manufacturing within industries and sectors of national interest. The Manufacturing USA institute will have a predominant focus on a manufacturing process, novel, material, enabling technology, supply chain integration methodology or another relevant aspect of advanced manufacturing such as nanotechnology applications, advanced ceramics, photonics and optics, composites, biobased and advanced materials, flexible hybrid technologies, tool development for microelectronics, food manufacturing, superconductors, advanced battery technologies, robotics, advanced sensors, quantum information science, supply chain water optimization, aeronautics and advanced materials, and graphene and graphene commercialization.
Deadline and Award: To be announced in Spring 2024

NCI Medical Image De-Identification Benchmark Challenge at MICCAI 2024 for developers (independent, academic, or industrial) who wants to assess your software tool’s performance with rule-based de-identification of DICOM images. Registration closes August 15, 2024.
NIH and CGE Targeted Genome Editor Delivery (TARGETED) Challenge aims to revolutionize technology development of delivery systems for in vivo genome editing. This is a $6M competition to improve in vivo delivery technologies for genome editors in two Target Areas: 1. Programmable delivery systems, and 2. Non-viral delivery across the blood-brain barrier. The National Institutes of Health (NIH), through the Common Fund’s Somatic Cell Genome Editing (SCGE) program, is seeking Participants with ideas or early-stage solutions to join the Challenge with the chance to win up to $1,000,000 and have their solution independently tested and validated in large animal models through NIH-supported independent evaluation relevant to preclinical assessments of investigational products. Phase 2 is open until January 10, 2025.
