Opportunity Listing - Energy Frontier Research Centers (EFRCs) Energy Frontier Research Centers (EFRCs) Agency: Office of Science Assistance Listings: 81. 049 -- Office of Science Financial Assistance Program Last Updated: February 17, 2026 View version history on Grants. gov The DOE SC program in Basic Energy Sciences (BES) announces a re-competition of the Energy Frontier Research Center (EFRC) program.
The purpose of this program is to bring together world-class teams of scientists from universities, DOE national laboratories, and other institutions to perform energy-relevant basic research with a scope and complexity beyond what is possible in single-investigator or small-group awards.
These multi-investigator, multi-disciplinary centers accelerate transformative scientific advances for the most challenging topics in materials sciences, chemical sciences, geosciences, and biosciences.
EFRCs integrate experiments, theory, computation, and AI/ML; develop innovative experimental and theoretical tools that illuminate fundamental processes in unprecedented detail; and create an enthusiastic, interdisciplinary, workforce of energy-focused scientists.

Office of Science Financial Assistance Program is sponsored by U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), Office of Science (SC). This is a broad financial assistance program from the DOE Office of Science. While not exclusively focused on critical minerals, the Office of Science supports research relevant to energy technologies, which includes critical materials. Small businesses involved in scientific research and development may find opportunities here.
The Genesis Mission: Transforming Science and Energy with AI is sponsored by U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), Office of Science (SC). This opportunity supports technologies that advance American leadership in artificial intelligence (AI) in alignment with DOE's Genesis Mission. It is offered through DOE's Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) programs.
Research Opportunities in Accelerator Stewardship and Accelerator Development is a grant from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Science that funds cross-cutting, use-inspired basic research and development to advance accelerator science and technology and domestic supplier development. Two tracks are available: Track 1 for Accelerator Stewardship Topical Areas, open to all responsible domestic organizations, and Track 2 for Collaborative Accelerator Research Teams (CARTs) supporting long-term generic accelerator research, restricted to current Track 2 PI organizations. Funded activities must support physical sciences research broadly applicable to government agencies and industry. Award amounts vary. Administered under the DOE High Energy Physics program.
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.
