TechAccess: AI-Ready America

The U.S. National Science Foundation is offering a grant under TechAccess: AI-Ready America to accelerate artificial intelligence readiness and adoption across the United States, with this funding opportunity focused on Coordination Hubs. The work supports one hub in each state, the District of Columbia, or a territory to connect partners, strengthen planning and deployment, and scale effective approaches to AI access and use. The broader initiative emphasizes practical implementation, hands-on assistance, and workforce upskilling, including experiential learning, while also linking to a future National Lead and catalyst competitions under the larger program. Applications are due July 16, 2026, and the listed award range is $3,000,000 to $4,000,000 with no cost sharing required.
