Graphic by the U.S. Department of Energy Learn more about the CMM program at DOE: Building Secure Supply Chains for America's Energy Future . Broaden and Expand Supply: Identify and secure substantial resources from a wide variety of feedstocks including primary and secondary sources, co-produced materials from existing operations, and international partners.
Develop Alternatives: Produce new materials that have less disruption potential and design manufactured parts and systems that require little to no critical materials to function. Improve Materials and Manufacturing Efficiency: Design for atom economy, reduce waste through efficient use, and improve overall efficiency of mining through manufacturing and recycling to minimize environmental impacts while maximizing yield.
Reuse and Recycle: Remanufacture, refurbish, repair, reuse, recycle, and repurpose all materials that are used in a modern economy to extend the lifetime of materials and/or partially offset the need for virgin material extraction.
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) supports these strategy pillars by enabling activities , cross-cutting functions to enable and enhance research, development, demonstration, and deployment efforts across four areas: Analysis and advanced tools Market assessment and development International engagement and standards Education and workforce development.

The memorandum of agreement was signed August 4 and 5, disclosed by House appropriators on September 3, and runs through 2036. It names no dollar figure. Here is what is actually established, what is still speculation, and what researchers holding or planning NIAID biodefense awards should do before September 30.
Read articleCDMRP reissued the FY26 BCRP Breakthrough Award Levels 1 and 2 and the Clinical Research Extension Award on September 3, 2026, with a November 4 pre-application deadline and a November 18 full application deadline. Round one closed July 8. The arithmetic across both windows accounts for nearly the entire FY26 appropriation — which tells you what kind of second chance this is.
Read articleThe Department's FY26 SBIR/STTR Release 3 opened June 24 with roughly 37 topics across DARPA, the Navy, the Air Force, and the defense components, all closing July 22. The compressed four-week window is unforgiving, but the bigger mistake founders make is treating every component the same. Here is how to read the release, the eligibility rules that disqualify good companies, and why the component you target matters more than the topic you pick.
