The Energy Innovator Fellowship Program The Energy Innovator Fellowship (EIF) program is an educational opportunity that provides funding for recent graduates and early-career energy professionals (within five years of graduation) to engage with critical energy host organizations on projects in advancing solutions aimed at modernizing the power system, improving energy infrastructure for transportation and industry, and enhancing the reliability, affordability, and resilience of the U.S. power system.
The program invites candidates from various educational and professional backgrounds to participate in a two-year learning experience with eligible host organizations, including electric public utility commissions, municipal and cooperative utilities, state energy offices, grid operators, Tribal utilities, Inter-Tribal councils, and other Tribal organizations.
The program is designed to expand access to energy-related learning opportunities across the country while contributing to the national transition to resilient and affordable energy. The EIF program is guided by the Office of Critical Minerals and Energy Innovation (CMEI), Office of Electricity (OE), and Office of Indian Policy and Programs (IE).

On June 2, 2026, the Department of Energy's Office of Critical Minerals and Energy Innovation selected two demonstration-scale facilities — Phoenix Tailings (with MIT and the University of Minnesota) for $66 million, and the Colorado School of Mines (with ElementUSA, PNNL, Principal Mineral, and Rare Earth Technologies Inc.) for the balance — under the Rare Earth Elements Demonstration Facility Program. Both projects pull rare earths from industrial waste — red mud at the Gramercy refinery in Louisiana, and a mix of mine and refining tailings elsewhere. Here is what the selections tell researchers, small businesses, and downstream magnet customers about where DOE thinks the chokepoint actually is, and what to do before the next demonstration-scale solicitation opens.

Full applications are due June 2 from the ~150 researchers DOE pre-cleared in March. Here's what the program rewards, why this year's announcement leans hard into Executive Order 14303 on Gold Standard Science, what untenured PIs at academic institutions vs. national labs should expect, and how to position for the FY27 pre-application gate next March.
