+description: The Technology Modernization Fund (TMF) has announced a call for
+  project proposals focusing on the implementation of Artificial Intelligence
+  (AI) within federal agencies, in alignment with President Biden's Executive
+  Order on the safe, secure, and trustworthy development and use of AI in the
+  federal government. This initiative aims to support AI implementation across
+  agencies to improve operational efficiency, enhance coordination between
+  programs, and modernize legacy systems. Proposals seeking up to $6 million in
+  funding and with project timelines not exceeding 1.5 years will benefit from
+  an expedited review process. The goal is to enable rapid deployment of AI
+  technologies to automate processes, deliver assistive technology, improve
