ARDC Grant Application Deadline - February 1, 2026

[Dr. Nathaniel A. Frissell Ph.D.]

Hi, HamSCI!

As you know, ARDC is a foundation that funds many projects that help to advance Amateur Radio (AR), Digital Communications (DC), and related technologies. Many of the people and institutions associated with HamSCI (including myself) have greatly benefited from their giving. ARDC has asked me to promote their next grant application deadline, which is February 1, 2026.

Take a look at this link to learn about ARDC's funding priorities, which we introduced earlier this year: https://www.ardc.net/apply/priority-areas-for-funding/.

ARDC is especially interested in projects that align with these three areas:

• Research & Development (R&D): open hardware and software systems that enable learning and experimentation (e.g. SDRs, open codec technologies, new modulation techniques).
• Space-Based Communications: projects that create or expand access to satellite communications for amateur radio (AR) and digital communications (DC), engaging communities in wireless experimentation (e.g. GEO or HEO programs, repurposed commercial satellites, space-based tools for learning).
• Open Source Education: scalable, open educational materials and hands-on projects that make AR and DC more accessible, especially for new learners and clubs (e.g. curricula, videos).

While ARDC welcome proposals across the full range of Amateur Radio and Digital Communications, projects that align with these areas remain a priority in their grantmaking decisions.

Interesting topic for me, if any of my group members are submitting proposal, I want to join a group. I also have some ideas and plenty of time for this.

Also can non-us resident apply or be a part of it?
