What Is This Program?

The STEM Talent Challenge provides grants to organizations that develop and implement STEM talent strategies to support regional innovation economies. The challenge seeks applicants who can identify opportunities in high-growth sectors and expand the workforce for the innovation economy. It particularly focuses on emerging, transformative industries such as artificial intelligence, machine learning, advanced manufacturing and robotics, space exploration and commerce, bioscience, quantum information science, as well as aqua- and agricultural technologies. This program may make new awards based on FY26 appropriations. Funded projects may still actively report expenditures.
