EARLY CAREER Early Career Resear... | U.S. DOE Office of Science (SC) Early Career Research Program Department of Energy Announces Early Career Research Program for 2026 Funding will support outstanding early career scientists at universities, National Laboratories, and Office of Science user facilities.
The U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Office of Science today announced it is now accepting applications for the 2026 DOE Office of Science Early Career Research Program.
The program will advance President Trump’s Executive Order Restoring Gold Standard Science , providing five-year awards to exceptional early career researchers at U.S. academic institutions, DOE National Laboratories, and Office of Science User Facilities to stimulate new research directions in mission critical areas supported by DOE’s Office of Science.
“The energy and creativity of early career scientists is crucial for propelling scientific discovery forward. The Department of Energy is committed to nurturing this talent through programs like the Early Career Research Program,” said DOE Under Secretary for Science Darío Gil.
"These awards provide essential resources and opportunities for collaboration, enabling these researchers to explore novel concepts and accelerate the development of solutions for our nation's energy and scientific landscape."
To be eligible for the program, a researcher must be an untenured, tenure-track assistant or associate professor at a U.S. academic institution or a full-time employee at a DOE National Laboratory or Office of Science User Facility who is within 10 years of having earned a doctorate degree.
Awards to an institution of higher education will be approximately $875,000 over five years and awards to a DOE National Laboratory or Office of Science User Facility will be approximately $2,750,000 over five years. DOE’s Office of Science is the nation’s largest supporter of basic research in the physical sciences.
Early career researchers may apply to one of seven Office of Science program offices: Advanced Scientific Computing Research; Biological and Environmental Research; Basic Energy Sciences; Fusion Energy Sciences; High Energy Physics; Nuclear Physics; and Isotope R&D and Production. Proposed research topics must fall within the programmatic priorities of DOE’s Office of Science, which are provided in the program announcement.
Funding will be competitively awarded on the basis of peer review. Pre-applications are mandatory and are due on March 24, 2026, at 5:00 p. m.
ET. Applications will be due on June 2, 2026, at 11:59 p. m.

The Merck Stimulating Innovative Research Grant Program 2026 includes a dedicated grant topic for artificial intelligence in cell culture media and process development, offering up to EUR 150,000 per year for up to 3 years. The program accelerates innovation through collaborative research, early engagement with industry experts, and translation of novel ideas into practical solutions. In 2026, priority areas also include in-vitro models for neuroinflammatory diseases (EUR 250,000/year for 2 years) and innovative approaches to contaminated materials remediation (EUR 150,000/year for 2 years). The two-stage application process begins with non-confidential submissions, followed by deep-dive workshops where finalists collaborate with Merck scientists and managers to jointly optimize proposals. The AI-specific grant focuses on applying machine learning and AI to optimize cell culture media formulation, bioprocess parameter optimization, and manufacturing quality control.
Summary: The fiscal year 2026 (FY26) Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy Research Program (DMDRP) Idea Development Award (IDA) promotes new ideas that are still in the early stages of development and have the potential to yield impactful data and new avenues of investigation. This award supports impactful, high-risk/high-reward research that could lead to critical discoveries or major advancements that will accelerate progress in improving outcomes for individuals with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) in the near term. Applications should include a well-formulated, testable hypothesis based on strong scientific rationale. The DMDRP strongly encourages research projects investigating therapies designed to demonstrate efficacy cross the life span, including infants, toddlers and nonambulatory individuals.Distinctive Features: The FY26 DMDRP IDA mechanism offers three eligibility career categories:• The Established Investigator category is for independent investigators at all academic levels, or equivalent• The New Investigator – Early-Stage category is for independent investigators early in their careers (i.e., within 10 years of their first faculty appointment or equivalent). Applicants in this category will be reviewed separately from Established Investigators.• The New Investigator – Transitioning category is for independent investigators at all academic levels, or equivalent, in an area other than muscular dystrophy who are seeking to transition to a career in DMD, thereby bringing their expertise to the field. Applicants in this category will be reviewed separately from Established Investigators.Preliminary data relevant to DMD that supports the feasibility of the research hypotheses and research approaches are required for all applications. Clinical trials or clinical trial aims are not allowed. Funding Opportunity Number: HT942526DMDRPIDA. Assistance Listing: 12.420. Funding Instrument: G. Category: ST. Award Amount: $2.5M total program funding.
