Bolstering Underutilized Industry by Leveraging Technology Transfer (BUILTT) pilot program
Solicitation # 10292026-LR-27
The Department of Energy, in partnership with the National Nuclear Security Administration, has announced the Bolstering Underutilized Industry by Leveraging Technology Transfer (BUILTT) pilot program. This initiative, conducted by the Nevada National Security Sites, Y-12 National Security Complex, and Kansas City National Security Campus, aims to assist qualified U.S. small and medium-sized businesses in manufacturing low-volume, high-impact technologies developed by DOE/NNSA Labs, Plants, and Sites. These technologies, which include specialized optical imaging, radiation and chemical sensing systems, precision electrical components, and advanced materials, often have limited commercial markets but are critical for government mission requirements. Under the program, selected businesses may receive a Cost Reduction License (CRL) for a nominal fee, granting them the rights to produce specified technologies for sale to the DOE, NNSA, and other government customers at pre-negotiated prices. Eligibility is limited to U.S.-based SMBs, with preference given to those near participating sites or those with SBA 8(a) or HUBZone designations. Interested parties are evaluated based on their technical and manufacturing capabilities, financial capacity, and ability to meet regulatory and security requirements. Responses must be submitted to the Technology Partnerships and Intellectual Property Office by April 1, 2027, and are categorized under NAICS code 541715.

Systems for Phenotypic Evaluation, Clinical Trajectories, Response, and Agency (SPECTRA)
Solicitation # ARPA-H-SOL-26-163
The Systems for Phenotypic Evaluation, Clinical Trajectories, Response, and Agency (SPECTRA) program, issued by the Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health (ARPA-H) under solicitation ARPA-H-SOL-26-163, aims to advance the understanding and treatment of autism by identifying evolving developmental trajectories across the lifespan. The program focuses on the nonlinear interactions between genetic, biological, behavioral, and environmental factors to move toward personalized intervention. The scope of work is divided into four Technical Areas: Multi-Factor Analysis and Trajectory Identification (TA1), Population-Scale Modeling and Data Integration (TA2), Precision Intervention and Trajectory Testing (TA3), and Technologies for Communication, Quality of Life, and Embedded Assessment (TA4). Key deliverables include an operating federated network with at least ten live nodes, open-license data standards, a versioned model registry, and the development of technologies that combine clinical assessment with tools to improve daily function and quality of life. Awards will be made via Other Transaction (OT) instruments to proposers determined to be the most advantageous to the government based on scientific merit, capabilities, price/value analysis, and relevance to the ARPA-H mission. The program utilizes a milestone-based acceptance process with gates at 12, 24, and 48 months. Technical requirements emphasize privacy-preserving linkage, differential privacy, and secure execution. Proposers must be registered in SAM.gov and are required to use specific templates for Solution Summaries, with staggered submission deadlines ranging from October 2026 through January 2027. ARPA-H prioritizes entities that will conduct the funded work within the United States.

2026년도 국제공동연구 신속지원사업 신규과제 공모
Solicitation # 2026-1045
The 2026 International Joint Research Rapid Support Project, solicitation number 2026-1045, is a government-funded initiative managed by the National Research Foundation of Korea and the Ministry of Science and ICT. The project focuses on developing core original technologies for high-density parallel light sources, specifically micro-LED and micro-OLED, for use in AI data center optical interconnects. The total government support funding is 737.5 million KRW for a 16-month performance period running from December 2026 to March 2028. This project is classified as a National Strategic Technology in the semiconductors and next-generation OLED sectors, aiming to advance from Technology Readiness Level 3 to TRL 5. A mandatory requirement for this solicitation is the establishment of an international joint research network with Japanese research institutions to secure expertise in organic light-emitting materials and patents. Technical objectives include developing 32-channel arrays with specific performance targets: transmission speeds exceeding 1 GHz for micro-LED and 0.2 GHz for micro-OLED, and driving energy levels of 1 pJ/bit and 20 pJ/bit respectively. Final acceptance requires the submission of a functional prototype and verification through accredited certification bodies, official test reports, or witnessed self-evaluations. All research achievements and commercialization results must be managed through the Integrated Research Information System (IRIS), and the project is subject to technology fee collection and the 3-book 5-public rule for concurrent research limits.

Full Description

Show more
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Space Operations Mission Directorate (SOMD) anticipates making launch opportunities available for a limited number of CubeSats to a variety of U.S. CubeSat developers. The CubeSat Launch Initiative (CSLI) will provide or facilitate flight opportunities to low-Earth orbit (LEO) currently planned for 2024-2027. A CubeSat is a type of space research nanosatellite. The base CubeSat dimension is approximately 10x10x11 centimeters (one - Unit or - 1U). CubeSats supported by this Launch Initiative include volumes of only 1U, 2U, 3U, 6U and 12U or volumes that add up to these specified dimensions. CubeSats of 1U, 2U, and 3U size typically have a mass of 1.33 kilograms per 1U Cube. A 6U CubeSat typically has a mass under 12 kg, and a 12U CubeSat typically has a mass under 24 kg. The final allowable mass is dependent upon the selected dispenser and the launch vehicle environment. CSLI will not select any CubeSat missions proposing to deploy or release parts that are smaller than 1U in size due to trackability, space situational awareness or orbital debris concerns. NASA anticipates entering into one or more Cooperative Research and Development Agreements (CRADAs) with selected Respondents (Collaborators) to support the CSLI. Participation in this Launch Initiative will be contingent upon selection by NASA and, for those entities external to NASA, an appropriate non-reimbursable CRADA containing standard terms and conditions for all CSLI Collaborators. In an effort to maintain uniformity amongst all CSLI Collaborators, NASA will not entertain or make changes to the standard terms and conditions outline by the agreement. The standard CRADA is posted on https://www.nasa.gov/content/cubesat-launch-initiative-resources. Proposed CubeSat investigations must address an aspect of Education, Science, or Technology Development/Demonstration encompassed by NASA's strategic goals and objectives as identified in the NASA 2022 Strategic Plan and other NASA strategic documents. Knowledge and data gained from these payloads will be shared with NASA. NASA will not transfer any funds to selected Collaborators under agreements established in response to this Announcement. Collaborators will be responsible for securing funding to support the development of their CubeSat payload, and for any and all other costs incurred by the Collaborator to participate in the CSLI. More information about the CubeSat Launch Initiative, including previously selected Respondents and valuable reference material such as CubeSat 101: Basic Concepts and Processes for First-Time CubeSat Developers, lessons learned, and frequently asked questions is available at: http://go.nasa.gov/CubeSat_initiative.
