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.

DE-FOA-0003665, the Office of Science Open Call, accepts applications any day until September 30, 2027. But six program offices run their own comparative review panels on their own dates, and a proposal that arrives after a panel's acceptance date waits a year. Here is how to read the hidden calendar.
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.
Read articleThe DOE Genesis Mission RFA closed its Phase II window on May 19. With $293.76M, 21 topics, and 99 focus areas, it is the largest single federal AI-for-science procurement in 2026. Here is what survived the cut and what comes next.
