The Genesis Mission brings together DOE’s world-class scientific capabilities, advanced AI, high-performance computing, and the nation’s leading researchers to transform how scientific discovery is conducted and strengthen American leadership in science and technology.
The 278 awards will support research to address some of the nation’s most pressing energy, scientific and engineering challenges, including in nuclear energy, critical mineral extraction, intelligent chip design and commercial fusion energy.
With more than 5,000 submissions, less than 6% of applicants received an award. The DOE called it “the largest response to a funding opportunity in DOE history.”
