What US OMB Advanced AI Vulnerability Detection Grant Funding Availability (Sec. 2(e) 30-Day Directive, EO Promoting Advanced AI Innovation and Security, 2026) requires
Sec. 2(e) of the Executive Order Promoting Advanced Artificial Intelligence Innovation and Security signed June 2, 2026 directs the Director of the Office of Management and Budget, in coordination with the National Cyber Director and the Director of CISA, within 30 days of the Order (verbatim deadline: within 30 days of the date of the order), to determine whether any Federal grant programs have available and relevant funding that can be directed toward applicants developing advanced AI vulnerability detection. The directive is administrative not appropriative: the OMB Director identifies funding opportunities across existing federal grant programmes rather than creating new appropriations. Candidate existing programmes that the OMB Director is expected to inventory include the National Science Foundation Secure and Trustworthy Cyberspace (SaTC) programme, DARPA AI Cyber Challenge (AIxCC), DHS Continuous Diagnostics and Mitigation (CDM) programme, NIST National Initiative for Cybersecurity Education (NICE) grants, NSA Centers of Academic Excellence in Cyber Operations (CAE-CO) grants, and Department of Energy AI for Science and AI for Critical Infrastructure programmes; the operative scoping document will be the OMB output published on or before within 30 days of the date of the order. The funding availability determination feeds into the broader Sec. 2 AI Cybersecurity Clearinghouse coordination by Treasury, NSA and CISA - grant funding is the principal lever the EO uses to incentivise private and academic participation in AI-driven vulnerability discovery and remediation work. Federal grant award rules continue to apply: 2 CFR 200 (Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards), 2 CFR 25 (System for Award Management registration including UEI), 2 CFR 170 (transparency reporting via USAspending.gov), 2 CFR 175 (trafficking in persons), and 2 CFR 180 (suspension and debarment). Foreign applicants and foreign sub-awardees face additional restrictions under National Security Presidential Memorandum 33 (NSPM-33) and disclosure requirements under the CHIPS and Science Act Section 10632. The OMB directive does not waive existing eligibility rules; applicants must continue to meet programme-specific eligibility and the cross-cutting federal grant compliance regime.
