Limiting Language
There is no restriction for the Innovation Track.

For the Scholarship Track, each performing organization is limited to one (1) proposal submitted for the same competition date. Institutions with an active CyberAI SFS scholarship project must wait until they are within 14 months of the current award's expected end date before submitting a new proposal.

Each institutional office of research may have internal processes used to select proposals for submission to the Scholarship Track

Per the program officer: The collaborative non-lead submission is considered as one submission from the institution, and limits the institution from submitting another scholarship track proposal.

Program Synopsis
Government and the nation face a talent shortfall in artificial intelligence (AI) and cybersecurity. The CyberAICorps Scholarship for Service (CyberAI SFS) program welcomes proposals that address AI and cybersecurity education and workforce development. CyberAI refers to using AI in cybersecurity as well as providing security and resilience for AI systems.

• The Scholarship Track provides funding to establish, or to continue, scholarship for service programs with integrated AI and cybersecurity components (CyberAI). Scholarship recipients must be U.S. citizens or lawful permanent residents and work after graduation in the AI or cybersecurity mission of a government organization for a period of at least the length of the scholarship.
• The Innovation Track supports projects that enhance preparation of AI and/or cybersecurity professionals. Projects may expand existing educational opportunities, curricula, degree programs, educational pathways, methods and interventions, and partnerships among institutions of higher education, government, and employers.

Two statutes authorize this program:  15 USC §7442 (cybersecurity) and 42 USC §18993 (AI). CyberAI SFS aligns with the Executive Order 14277 to prioritize AI within scholarship for service programs. CyberAI is managed by NSF’s Directorate for STEM Education in collaboration with the U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) and U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS).

Program Description 
NSF NQNI responds to national and community research priorities that will advance nanoscale and quantum science and engineering and grow U.S. leadership in critical and emerging technologies. These include quantum technology, semiconductors, artificial intelligence (AI), manufacturing, biotechnology, and others.

NQNI will provide broad access to domestic QISE research infrastructure as called for in the National Quantum Initiative (NQI) Act of 2018 (Public Law 115-368) and Administration priorities. NSF support for world-class research infrastructure will help U.S. researchers meet the needs of innovative quantum systems.

NSF developed the NQNI program with input on future research infrastructure needs from academia, government, industry, and U.S. National Laboratories. The workshop report, Nanotechnology Infrastructure of the Future (2023, NSF award 2331369), emphasized the need to continue supporting nanotechnology infrastructure; it concluded that such resources are "essential for quantum science and engineering and other emerging national research priorities." The workshop report, Workshop on Quantum Engineering Infrastructure II (2025, NSF award 2405015), affirmed that NSF nanofabrication infrastructure programs are highly valuable for quantum research; it also stated that such infrastructure should support quantum "technologies that require higher-levels of integration, yet have the flexibility to work with emerging platforms."

The number of allowed institutional submissions is no longer limited by the Beckman Foundation. Per the funding opportunity webpage: Institutions are not limited in the number of applicants who apply at the Letter of Intent stage.

Limiting Language
An organization may only apply for this grant through one application per year and cannot apply for itself and be part of an application involving more than one organization.

Program Overview
Community Care Corps encourages organizations across the country to apply for 18-month grants ($30,000–$200,000) to develop and scale innovative volunteer programs that provide nonmedical assistance to older adults, adults age 18 and older with disabilities and family caregivers.

Projects funded through this initiative will increase the number of community-based volunteer programs available to provide nonmedical assistance while decreasing the number of older adults, adults with disabilities, and family caregivers who need assistance in maintaining independence in the community but are unable to obtain help. In doing so, the initiative will strengthen community-based supports that help people maintain independence, reduce unmet needs, and improve overall well-being.
