Rural Cooperative Development Grants

No Applicants // Limit: 1 // Tickets Available: 1

Limiting Language 
An eligible institution may not submit more than one application to this program as a lead institution. This includes applications from subordinate units under a parent institution. Additionally, eligible recipients may only receive funds for one award at a time. Prospective applicants are advised to contact their institutional sponsored projects office regarding processes used to select proposals for submission. For RFAP purposes, ‘parent institution’ refers to the single, legally distinct institution of higher education that oversees its colleges, schools, and departments. A separate UEI by itself does not automatically make a campus or unit a different institution. Some campuses, divisions, or administrative units within a university system may maintain their own UEIs for grants management purposes while still operating under the governance, accreditation, and legal identity of a single parent institution. In such cases, the parent institution, not the UEI, is the controlling factor in determining the one application limit. The one application limit applies to all subordinate units under the same institution. However, university systems with multiple independently accredited and governed institutions may submit one application per institution within the system. A multi campus university system may submit more than one application only if each campus is recognized as a distinct institution based on its own independent accreditation, governance structure, and institutional identity. Institutions that have received congressionally directed funding for research facility projects are not excluded from participation in this program. Such institutions may submit applications and compete for additional projects under this competitive funding opportunity. 

Cost Sharing Requirements
Applicants MUST provide at minimum a 1:1 matching contribution on a dollar-for-dollar basis for all Federal funds awarded under the RFAP. The non-Federal share must be paid in cash and may include funding from private sources or from units of State or local government. In-kind matching will not be considered. See 7 U.S.C. 390a(c)(2)(A). The full match amount must be budgeted in the application, with sources of funding clearly disclosed. Recipients may phase matching contributions, potentially synchronized with project construction milestones, or raise additional funds during the project period, provided that the Authorized Representative signs the award, thereby attesting to fulfill all match commitments. Matching costs must be incurred during the federal award period, align with 2 CFR 200.306 requirements (verifiable, allowable, not double counted, and included in the approved budget), and be properly documented and reported cumulatively via the SF425 Federal Financial Reports throughout and at the conclusion of the project Consistent with 48 U.S.C. 1469a, notwithstanding any other provision of law, in the case of American Samoa, Guam, the Virgin Islands, the Federated States of Micronesia, and the Northern Mariana Islands, NIFA will waive any requirement for local matching funds under $200,000 (including in-kind contributions). 

Executive Summary
This notice identifies the objectives for RCDG program projects, deadlines, funding information, eligibility criteria for projects and applicants, and application forms and associated instructions. NIFA requests applications for grants under the RCDG program for FY 2026 to improve the economic condition of rural areas by helping nonprofit organizations who in turn provide technical assistance to start, expand, or improve cooperatives and mutually owned businesses in rural areas. This notice is being issued to allow applicants sufficient time to leverage financing and prepare and submit their applications.  

Estimated funding amounts are not guaranteed and are subject to the availability of appropriated funds.

Great Health for America

No Applicants // Limit: 1 // Tickets Available: 1

Limiting Language
Under this NOFO, you may submit only one application for one program site (Lake County, Indiana; Sandusky and Toledo metro area, Ohio; Brownsville, Texas; Petersburg, Virginia) under your organization’s Unique Entity Identifier (UEI).

Summary
In collaboration with U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), state and federally funded programs, you will implement a project focused on reducing chronic disease rates within a defined geographic area within four communities: Lake County, Indiana; Sandusky and Toledo metro area, Ohio; Brownsville, Texas; Petersburg, Virginia. The goal is to demonstrate how individual and system- level interventions can encourage healthier habits and choices that can reduce the burden of chronic disease in children. When these lifestyle and community changes are maintained over time, reductions in the burden of chronic diseases among adults in the United States may eventually result. Findings from these demonstration programs will inform the potential replication of successful interventions in additional communities. 

Additionally, HHS will use findings from this demonstration project to inform future approaches to funding and measuring effects of novel efforts to improve health for individuals and communities.

MXO Pitch Day 2026

Limit: 3 (one per Thrust Area) // Tickets Available: 0

Thrust Area 1: Y. Takashima (Optical Sciences)
Thrust Area 2: C. Fucetola (Astronomy & Steward Observatory)
Thrust Area 3: G. Cole (Wyant College of Optical Sciences)


Limiting Language
A proposing organization, identified by a unique CAGE Code, may submit no more than one Abstract per Thrust Area. Each Abstract submitted by the same organization must identify a different Principal Investigator, technical team, and represent a distinct technical approach. 

Eligibility 
Universities whose proposed Principal Investigator has not previously served as a Principal Investigator under a DARPA-funded award.

Thrust Areas
Thrust Area 1: A world beyond electronics 
The “a world beyond electronics” thrust seeks to develop non-electronic and hybrid physical approachesto advance sub-functions and unit operations to create future warfighting systems and capabilities. These sub-functions and unit operations include but are not limited to: 

  • Sensing and communications beyond electronics. While we will continue to need sensing and communications, novel approaches can not only improve upon what modern radio-frequency systems deliver for the existing battlespace but also invent functions leading to new capability for the future battlespace. Examples of non-electronic developments could include optical, quantum, organic, and acoustic devices. The addressable physical stimuli (e.g., optical thermal, acoustic, chemical, etc.) and/or appropriate information buses (e.g., photonic, fluidic, or otherwise) for the proposed device should be provided in detail as well as performance estimates. 

Thrust Area 2: Foundations beyond components 
The “foundations beyond components” thrust explores technologies and methods that survive and even thrive in hostile and challenging environments. Production and use of these components can then be used in novel and previously unforeseen applications. 

  • Extreme environments are both natural and man-made. The natural extreme environments of interest include space, undersea, and the arctic. Technologies and methods should lead to systems subjected to a wide range of environmental conditions and natural attacks such as corrosion. Man-made environmental impacts, including the actions of adversaries, add system effects such as shock and vibration. 
  • Advanced capabilities will require increasing amounts of intelligence, automation, endurance and survivability. Assuming that humans are not present, a heterogeneous mix of distributed uncrewed systems may be warranted requiring advanced sensing, actuation, orientation, processing, communication, and power. Each of these has its own research challenges. 
  • Making and sustaining these components and systems require unique approaches to leverage the local environment itself, use what is in place, and erase the line between equipment and environment. 

Thrust Area 3: Materials beyond nature and current synthetic practice 
The “materials beyond nature and current synthetic practice” thrust seeks the discovery and fabrication of new materials that exceed what can be found in nature or are currently produced. MXO believes that novel applications, research breakthroughs, and advanced capability development will benefit from new materials used in new ways. 

  • Material properties realized after fabrication. Beyond phase change materials, how do we identify future programmable material and synthesize component properties? Examples include ad-hoc tunable electrical, magnetic, optical, and mechanical properties beyond the state of the art.
  • Built-in autonomous property resiliency of materials/components. Imagine if we could maintain pre-determined material and component properties without humans in the loop. Examples include self-healing (recovery of material properties or improvement in their reliability), self-deformation (material as sensor and actuator), or self-protection (anti-break, anti-rust, anti-aging). 
  • Artificially created new material properties. How do we identify previously unattainable material properties followed by the manufacturing and realization of this new material? Examples include room temperature superconductor and inorganic-like electrical characteristics in organic material systems

Rural Communities Opioid Response Program (RCORP)-Technical Assistance

No Applicants // Limit: 1 // Tickets Available: 1

Limiting Language
You may not submit more than one application. If you submit more than one application, we will only accept the last on-time submission.

Summary
The purpose of the Rural Communities Opioid Response Program-Technical Assistance (RCORP-TA) is to connect rural communities with high-quality, comprehensive, and tailored resources and supports to implement and sustain behavioral health care, including prevention, treatment, and recovery services, to address the opioid epidemic and related substance use concerns in rural areas. RCORP-TA supports and complements other 

RCORP investments to: 
• address the crisis of substance use disorder, including opioid use disorder, in rural areas. 
• prevent substance misuse and its effects. 
• promote long-term, sustained well-being. 

RCORP’s focus is on opioid misuse and its impact on rural America. However, people who misuse opioids often struggle with other substance use, including alcohol, and behavioral health or social needs. The complex nature of SUD, including OUD, requires comprehensive systems and lifespan approach to prevent future problems, address barriers to care, and encourage long-term recovery. This program provides TA for a range of SUD-related behavioral health needs across individual, family, organizational, and community levels.
