AI
Research and development funding by agencies of the United States federal government. Capital moves through peer-reviewed grants (NSF, NIH), small-business innovation awards (SBIR/STTR at NSF and AFWERX), program-manager-driven contracts and Broad Agency Announcements (DARPA, ARPA-H, BARDA), standards and measurement programs (NIST), and mission initiatives such as the Department of Energy's Genesis Mission for AI-accelerated science.
