DOE unveils $352M quantum technology research funding opportunity - Government Market News DOE Energy Frontier Research Centers funding Available Funding · Federal · Technology DOE unveils $352M quantum technology research funding opportunity The Department of Energy’s (DOE) Office of Science has released a $352 million Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) to accelerate breakthroughs in critical minerals, quantum computing and advanced manufacturing through fundamental energy technology research.
New and renewal applications are due by July 1. Universities, DOE National Laboratories, nonprofit organizations and private sector companies will be eligible to apply to the DOE’s Energy Frontier Research Centers (EFRC) program. The initiative will distribute funds over a four-year period, allocating approximately $88 million annually.
Awards are expected to range between $3 million and $4. 5 million each year. Applicable research projects must address scientific challenges under one or more of the following topics to be considered for an award: Unconventional computing paradigms.
Artificial intelligence and machine learning for materials and chemistry. Complex chemical systems. Critical minerals and materials.
Electrical energy storage. Quantum systems and quantum computing. The NOFO explicitly only covers fundamental scientific research for next generation energy technologies as opposed to applied research or technology development activities.
Basic research must be used to advance understanding rather than provide solutions and create commercial opportunities. The DOE reserves the right to deny applicants that advance research contributing to current commercial activity or customer needs. Applicant institutions may submit up to three pre-applications or applications as the lead institution.
There is no limit to how many applications an institution may appear as a subrecipient. In addition, an individual may not be named as a principal investigator on more than one application.

The Trump administration committed $5B and 278 projects across 15+ agencies to the Genesis Mission. Here's the structure — and how to position for the next wave.
Read articleOn July 22, 2026, the White House announced more than $5 billion in federal commitments for the Genesis Mission — the Department of Energy-led national initiative to fuse AI, exascale computing, and the 17 national labs into a single scientific platform. Nearly 300 projects across all 50 states were selected from a historic Request for Applications, and 15-plus agencies are now attaching funding to a set of National Science and Technology Challenges. Here is what the Genesis Mission is, how the money is structured, and the concrete on-ramps for researchers, universities, and small businesses who were not in the first cohort.
Read articleDOE's FY2026 Office of Science open-call solicitation (DE-FOA-0003600) makes roughly $500 million available across about 500 awards of $50,000 to $5 million — across computing, physics, chemistry, biology, fusion, and isotopes — with a rolling window that stays open through September 30, 2026. Unlike a targeted NOFO, it lets investigators propose almost anything within the agency's mission. Here is how the open call actually works, why it is chronically underused, and how to write into it.
