Essential Information and Guidance A national initiative led by the Department of Energy and its 17 National Laboratories to build the world’s most powerful scientific platform to accelerate discovery, strengthen national security, and drive energy innovation. We are amid a revolution in computing, driven by artificial intelligence and quantum information technologies, that will transform how science is done.
Genesis Mission has the goal of doubling the productivity and impact of U.S. research and development by pairing scientists with intelligent systems that reason, simulate, and experiment at extraordinary speed. Genesis Mission will create a national discovery platform that unites the world’s most powerful supercomputers, AI systems, and emerging quantum technologies with the nation’s most advanced scientific instruments.
Together, they form an integrated infrastructure for scientific exploration—an intelligent network capable of sensing, simulating, and understanding nature at every scale. By connecting these systems, Genesis Mission will transform how science is done.
It will generate a new class of high-fidelity data to train advanced AI models, empower researchers to solve the hardest scientific challenges, and accelerate discovery from years to months. In doing so, it will serve as both a national accelerator for innovation and a proving ground for the next generation of AI and quantum and robotics technologies. What kinds of breakthroughs could it unlock?
From fusion energy and new materials to quantum computing and life-saving medicines, Genesis Mission expands what’s possible in energy, discovery science, and national security. Will Genesis Mission use AI to replace scientists? No. Genesis Mission enables them.
It’s AI for discovery, not automation, helping researchers explore and understand the universe faster. The Department of Energy, in collaboration with the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy. Who are the collaborators in Genesis Mission?

On August 24, 2026, DOE and SBA signed a memorandum of agreement creating the Small Business Investment Company-Energy Initiative, pointing a $58 billion SBA-leveraged investment program at DOE's technology priorities. No application, no NOFO, no deadline. Here is how SBIC capital actually works, why a January 2026 rule change made this possible, and what a company sitting on a DOE Phase II award should do about it.
Read articleThe Hydrocarbons and Geothermal Energy Office's University Training and Research program funds coal, oil and gas, and geothermal R&D at U.S. colleges and universities — but every proposal must include a non-academic partner and must build training modules that outlive the award. The LOI deadline is October 1, 2026, with full applications 15 days later. Here is what that compressed window means and why the workforce framing changes what a competitive proposal looks like.
Read articleThe Energy Department's $65.5 million oil and gas production and delivery NOFO splits across four topic areas with wildly different odds. Topic Area 3 alone carries $28 million for Hydrocarbon Infrastructure Test Sites at roughly $7 million per award over five years — and it requires a defined physical site you already control. Here is how the money is actually allocated.
