Data Centers: Exploring the Opportunity for Tribes (Financial and Technical Assistance) is sponsored by U.S. Department of Energy (DOE). The DOE is encouraging tribes to partner with data centers, offering financial and technical assistance to evaluate and frame these opportunities. This could involve land leases, selling power to data centers, and infrastructure developments.

Photo by Joe DelNero, National Laboratory of the Rockies (NLR) Hearing the buzz about data centers? Data center expansion is driving massive investments and could be a big economic opportunity for Tribes. Aside from land leases, Tribes can pursue partnerships with data center developers through energy generation sales, long-term operations, and ownership stakes in infrastructure.
Tribes bring unique advantages to potential developers and could benefit throughout the value chain. Data centers are getting a lot of attention right now. Fundamentally, they’re just big buildings that house computer systems, which have been around for a long time.
What’s new is how quickly a huge number of hyperscale data centers are standing up to support the growth in the use of artificial intelligence (AI). Data centers vary greatly in size, use case, and how much energy they use.
Some are small units, requiring less than a megawatt (MW) of power, whereas others are very large and require gigawatts of power—such as those used for massive-scale operations and high efficiency, like AI data centers. Data center size comparison and examples.
Opportunities and Considerations for Tribes Partnering with a data center developer holds tremendous opportunity right now—from land leases to selling power to the data center through a power purchase agreement to infrastructure developments and job expansion.
And although there are several benefits, factors such as water use; local and community impacts; and transmission infrastructure, interconnection, and fiber access requirements should be considered. Developers are looking to build data centers fast, so being able to move quickly is a strong selling point for potential partners. You can decide if that makes sense for you.
The Office of Indian Energy is here to support Tribes in this decision process. Partnering with a data center developer could mean: Considerations for whether a data center could be a good fit: We at the Office of Indian Energy recognize many Tribes know how to design, permit, construct, and operate large infrastructure, often requiring reliable 24/7 power with robust cybersecurity controls.
Those same skills are relevant, for example, to developing megawatt- or even gigawatt-scale data centers. We’ve worked with many of you before, and we are available to work with you again. The Office of Indian Energy supports Tribes in several ways: Our financial assistance can help enable energy projects to power a data center.
To date, our competitive awards have included funds for project planning and for generation and distribution buildouts, all of which might be helpful in bringing a data center to your area. Our technical assistance is free of charge for Tribes and covers a broad range of options, including support for evaluating generation, site requirements, or other considerations for your area.
We also offer legal assistance to help evaluate deals and structure the regulatory or utility environment. Our resources available to Tribes include a template that can help you pitch your site to data center developers, connections with potential partners, and workforce development support—all of which can help you evaluate and frame the opportunity of a data center.
Reach out to the Office of Indian Energy to discuss these resources and more! Contact our office staff directly at 240-562-1352 or indianenergy@hq. doe.

The NIFA Data Science for Food and Agricultural Systems (DSFAS) AI Center of Excellence (AI-COE) funds research projects that encourage and promote AI-related research in agriculture. This is a distinct program from the larger AFRI initiative, focusing specifically on building AI research capacity in agricultural science. Funded projects have addressed cover crop and weed detection using computer vision, crop phenotyping automation via UAV imagery, breeding decision support using high-performance computing, machine learning for soil health monitoring, remote sensing for crop stress detection, and autonomous robots for labor-intensive agricultural tasks. The program paused in FY25 and returned for FY26 with renewed emphasis on practical AI applications in farming and food systems.

Data Coordinating Center for Multi-Site Clinical Trials of Mind and Body Interventions (U24) is a grant from the National Institutes of Health (NCCIH) that funds a collaborative data coordinating center (DCC) supporting NCCIH-funded multi-site investigator-initiated clinical trials of mind and body interventions. The DCC works in partnership with a companion Clinical Coordinating Center (CCC) to manage and coordinate trial data across sites. This U24 Resource-Related Research Project uses a cooperative agreement mechanism. Eligible applicants are domestic organizations; the DCC application must be submitted simultaneously with a companion CCC application. Funding varies and the deadline is 14 July 2026.
