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."

Purpose
CMS, through its Center for Clinical Standards and Quality (CCSQ), is accepting applications for cooperative agreements to entities to administer financial incentives, such as loan repayment and stipends, to RNs and LPNs to work in a qualifying nursing home or in an oversight role with a state agency for three years.

CMS will enter into cooperative agreements with organizations, which will become Financial Incentive Administrators (FIAs). These FIAs will identify and accept applications from individuals, who would then receive funds contingent on their working in a qualifying nursing home or state survey agency for three years (with an average of 30 or more hours per week).

In addition, FIAs will coordinate closely with individual states, which will provide additional funding directly to the FIA to increase the number of financial incentives available to recruit nurses in their state, and to gain a deeper understanding of each state’s specific staffing needs. FIAs will also work with other stakeholders, such as nursing homes, associations, or private organizations, which may contribute additional funds to the campaign or identify other ways to enhance the program.

Institutionally Coordinated - The University of Arizona may submit more than one proposal provided that each application is scientifically distinct. This is an Institutionally Coordinated Submission. Only proposals selected through U of A  Competition Space will be authorized for submission.

ORIP's S10 Instrumentation Grant Programs support purchases of state-of-the-art commercially available instruments to enhance research of NIH-funded investigators. Instruments that are awarded are typically too expensive to be obtained by an individual investigator with a research project grant. Every instrument awarded by an S10 grant is to be used on a shared basis, which makes the programs cost-efficient and beneficial to thousands of investigators in hundreds of institutions nationwide.

To be eligible for an S10 award, an institution must identify three or more principal investigators with active NIH research awards who demonstrate a substantial need for the requested instrument. Matching funds are not required. Types of instruments supported by S10 funding include, but are not limited to, X-ray diffraction systems, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and mass spectrometers, DNA and protein sequencers, biosensors, electron and confocal microscopes, cell-analyzers, and biomedical imagers.

Active RFPs are: 

• Basic Instrumentation Grant Program (BIG) – University of Arizona is not eligible
• Shared Instrumentation Grant Program (SIG) – The SIG Program funds grant awards in the $50,000 to $600,000 range.
• High-End Instrumentation Grant Program (HEI) – The HEI Program funds grant awards in the $600,001 to $2,000,000 range.

There is no restriction on the number of applications an institution can submit to the SIG and/or High-End HEI Grant Programs. However, institutional internal coordination is required for concurrent SIG or HEI applications to verify each proposal is requesting different types of equipment.

Applicants are only allowed to submit one proposal per organization. Organizations may form a consortium and submit a combined proposal; however, one organization should be designated as the lead applicant and other organization(s) listed as sub-recipient partner(s).

Project Description 
The Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs of the U.S. Department of State announces an open competition for organizations to submit applications to carry out a project to aimed at reducing recruitment by organized crime groups in Mexico. This project will advance U.S. security interests by promoting a comprehensive approach that includes prevention, prosecution, and legal reform. The initiative will engage stakeholders in key Mexican states to implement intelligence-driven prevention strategies, strengthen public advocacy, enhance prosecutorial capacity, support disengagement programs, and advance legislative reform to criminalize organized crime recruitment. These efforts will disrupt criminal networks that facilitate the flow of illicit drugs, violence, and illegal migration into the United States. By fostering stability and the rule of law in Mexico, this project not only supports our regional partners but also directly contributes to the safety and security of the United States.

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.
