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.

NVIDIA Graduate Fellowship Program is a grant from NVIDIA providing up to $60,000 per award to PhD students conducting research that advances accelerated computing and its applications. Now in its 25th year, the program invites nominations from doctoral students pushing the boundaries of artificial intelligence, robotics, autonomous vehicles, and related fields. Recipients receive not only research funding but also access to NVIDIA technology, products, and engineering expertise, along with a mandatory in-person summer internship. Students are nominated by their faculty advisors and selected based on academic achievement and research area alignment.
NASA STRIDE (Science Transport and Robotic Innovation for Deployment and Exploration) is a grant program from NASA that solicits proposals from U.S. industry to conduct design studies of advanced robotic surface and aerial mobility systems with payload transportation and deployment capability for Mars surface operations. The program supports innovation in robotic mobility systems that could enable future Mars science missions. U.S.-based universities and nonprofit research organizations may also be eligible per the grant record. The application deadline for this cycle was March 31, 2026.
CalSEED Concept Award is a grant from the California Energy Commission that provides $150,000 in funding to early-stage clean energy innovators in California. The program targets individuals, businesses, and nonprofits developing hardware, software, or integrated solutions at Technology Readiness Levels 2-4. Eligible technology areas rotate each cycle and have included battery recycling and reuse, long-duration energy storage, medium- and heavy-duty vehicle electrification, industrial electrification, and advanced EV charging. Applicants must be located in California, have under $1 million in private funding, and propose innovations that benefit California ratepayers. Concept Award winners also receive professional development resources and access to accelerator programs, and may compete for a subsequent $450,000 Prototype Award.
The Energy Department's flagship Early Career Research Program is funded at $145M for FY2026 — $79M in current-year dollars, the rest contingent on FY27 appropriations. 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.
