FY26 - FY28 Space Grant Augmentation for AI Workforce Development

Limit: 1 // Tickets Available: 0 

T. Swindle (Lunar and Planetary Laboratory) 

Limiting Language 
Proposals will only be accepted from the lead institution of Space Grant consortia in each state along with the District of Columbia and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico. NASA will only accept one proposal per consortium. 

Executive Summary
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Office of STEM Engagement (OSTEM) is accepting augmentation funding proposals for the National Space Grant College and Fellowship Program (Space Grant). Space Grant is dedicated to building, sustaining, and deploying a skilled, and high-performing aerospace workforce that meets the current and emerging needs of NASA and the nation. 

The rapid expansion of the space economy combined with renewed national priorities in human space exploration, has created an urgent demand for a robust, skilled technical workforce. However, the aerospace and defense sectors are facing critical labor shortages, particularly in technical roles such as machinists, electronics technicians, and systems integrators. These shortages are driven by an aging workforce, rising educational costs, limited awareness of career pathways, and fragmented coordination among education, industry, and workforce systems. 

This announcement is an augmentation to years two through four (2-4) of the FY2025-2028 base award (Announcement Number: NNH24ZHA003C-SG25). The overarching goal of this augmentation is to provide additional funding to increase artificial intelligence workforce development projects and student opportunities. 

For this augmentation, each recipient/proposer shall submit a Statement of Work and budget, not to exceed $200,000 per year, for years two through four (2-4) as well as a budget narrative and justification explaining how the funds will be expended and how the work scope for the existing award will be adjusted. The period of performance will not change.

The Conservation, Food & Health Foundation Grants - 2026 Grant Round 2

Limit: 1 // Tickets Available: 0

M. Brogan (Human Rights Practice Program)

Limiting Language
The Foundation will consider only one proposal from an organization in any calendar year.

Program Overview
The Foundation supports projects and applied research that:

  • Generate local or regional solutions to problems affecting the quality of the environment and human life;
  • Advance local leadership and promote professional development in the conservation, agricultural, and health sciences;
  • Develop the capacity of local organizations and coalitions; and
  • Address challenges in the field. 

The Foundation prefers to support projects that address under-funded issues and geographic areas.

The Foundation funds applied research, pilot projects, new initiatives, training, and technical assistance, rather than ongoing support for programs that are already well underway.  An important goal for the Foundation is to provide seed money to help promising projects, organizations, and individuals develop the track record they need to attract major foundation funding in the future.

Fields of Interest

The following are examples of the Foundation’s areas of interest within the fields of conservation, food, and health, and are not meant to be exclusive.

Conservation

Conservation grants promote environmental conservation through field research, projects, and advocacy that:

  • Protect biodiversity and preserve natural resources.
  • Help mitigate the adverse effects of climate change.
  • Build the scientific and technical capacity of local conservation organizations and promote local, regional, and international partnerships.
  • Increase engagement between scientists, local communities and organizations, and decision-makers.
  • Partner with indigenous communities and local people.

Food

Grants in the food and agriculture program area focus on targeted demonstration, applied-research, and inquiry-based projects that support on-the-ground science and advocacy. Such efforts build capacity for self-sufficiency and resilience to climate change, enhance food security, strengthen local food systems, and support healthy nutrition through projects that: 

  • Develop and promote sustainable agricultural practices
  • Build the capacity of small-scale farmers.
  • Advance farmer research and research partnerships.
  • Develop environmentally sound and affordable approaches to control pests and diseases affecting important local food crops.
  • Promote indigenous food sovereignty and knowledge systems.
  • Address challenges of uptake and scalability through new methods of extension, education, and technology transfer.

Health

The Foundation supports efforts that test new ideas and approaches that promote public health, with a special emphasis on reproductive health and family planning and their integration with other health promotion activities.  It favors community-level disease prevention and health promotion projects and efforts that help strengthen regional and country public health systems over disease diagnosis, treatment, and care provided by clinics, hospitals, and humanitarian aid programs.

Activities that help increase capacity include applied research, program development, technical assistance, and training projects that:

  • Promote reproductive health and family planning.
  • Address issues related to mental and behavioral health.
  • Address issues relating to pollution and environmental health.
  • Increase the understanding of zoonotic and neglected tropical diseases.
  • Address issues relating to nutrition and health.

Key Priorities

In all of its areas of interest, the Foundation gives priority to projects that have the potential to advance the field, build local capacity, promote replication, influence public opinion and policy, affect systems change, and benefit people beyond the immediate project and its local context.

Eligibility

The Foundation supports local, state, and regional organizations in Africa, Asia, the Caribbean, Latin America, and the Middle East in the countries where the projects are based.  It also supports organizations located in upper-income countries working with local partners in these areas.  It does not support projects in post-Soviet states or Balkan states.

Most types of organizations that can provide evidence of their non-governmental status or charitable purpose are eligible to apply, including non-governmental organizations, nonprofit organizations; civil society organizations; community-based organizations; and colleges, universities, and other academic institutions.

Government agencies and religious organizations may be included as project partners but are not eligible for direct funding.

The Foundation does not typically fund:

  • Overhead or indirect project costs
  • General operating support
  • Direct food, health or other humanitarian aid
  • Eco-tourism
  • Buildings and capital improvements
  • Projects ultimately intended for private gain.  All intellectual property developed with the grant should be public.
  • Salaries for Executive Directors of U.S. and European-based organizations.
  • Project expenses incurred before the grant is awarded.

Grant-Making Policies and Procedures

There is no minimum or maximum grant size. It is anticipated that most grants will fall in the $25,000-$50,000 per year range.
