Federal Funding
The federal funding pipeline adds non-dilutive capital across NSF, DOD-SBIR, WIOA and CHIPS programs, with deadline urgency tracked in the operating plan.
Programs
| Program | Role in the plan |
|---|---|
| NSF | Research-stage non-dilutive funding |
| DOD-SBIR | Defense-side SBIR for the security stack (ActiveDefense / ActiveVuln lines) |
| WIOA | Workforce funding mapped to the training lines (OaaS workforce development) |
| CHIPS | Semiconductor/energy-adjacent incentives for AIDC capacity |
Discipline
Deadline urgency math is maintained per program in the operating plan; any material variance triggers re-base with written notice to the BOD (CFO standing instruction).
