Which grants for AI went to universities in Texas in 2026?
awardTypes grants switches from contracts to grants; recipients matches part of the recipient name, keywords searches the award description and placeOfPerformanceStates limits to work performed in Texas. Each row has the recipient, awarding_agency, cfda_number and cfda_title (the assistance program), the amount and a source_url.
