This is a DOE Office of Science program funding interdisciplinary teams to build novel AI models and frameworks for energy, environmental, and nuclear challenges, with topic areas spanning advanced manufacturing, biotech, nuclear, quantum, semiconductors, and energy. Awards run from $500,000 to $16 million and cost sharing is required, so this is for serious R&D players, not casual applicants. Retail, finance, and housing businesses with no AI or energy research angle should not bother.

DOE Office of Science funding for interdisciplinary teams to develop novel AI models and frameworks addressing national science and technology challenges in energy, environmental, and nuclear areas. Any type of entity may apply; teams encouraged to leverage DOE/NNSA, National Labs, industry, and academia resources. Cost sharing required.
The DOE Office of Science (SC), Office of Critical Minerals and Energy Innovation (CMEI), Office of Environmental Management (EM), Office of Nuclear Energy (NE), Office of Electricity (OE), and Hydrocarbons and Geothermal Office (HGEO) hereby announce interest in receiving applications from interdisciplinary teams addressing the Genesis Mission National Science and Technology Challenges to accelerate scientific discovery and research and development (R&D) workflows using novel artificial intelligence (AI) models and frameworks. By achieving AI advantage, these teams will advance the DOE's mission and ensure America’s security and prosperity by addressing energy, environmental, and nuclear challenges through science and technology. Teams are encouraged to leverage the extensive scientific and data resources of the DOE/National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA), the National Laboratories, U.S. industry, and academia. The resulting AI models and workflows, if successful, may be integrated into the American Science Cloud.
DOE is soliciting new FY26 Phase I small team and Phase II large team applications in the following topic areas: advanced manufacturing, biotechnology, critical materials, nuclear fission, nuclear fusion, quantum information science, semiconductors and microelectronics, discovery science, and energy (see specific focus areas in Section III Program Descriptions).
In addition, this RFA will remain available to allow the recipients of FY26 Phase I awards to apply for larger team Phase II awards. In a few weeks, DOE plans to amend the RFA to clarify the LOI and application guidelines for FY26 Phase II awards. In FY27, DOE plans to amend the RFA or to issue an alternative funding opportunity to update the topic and focus areas to allow a second competition of Phase I small team applications and Phase II large team applications.
