Students are nominated by their faculty advisors and selected based on academic achievement and research area alignment.
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.
NIST SBIR Phase I - Advanced Manufacturing and Robotics is sponsored by National Institute of Standards and Technology. NIST SBIR Phase I - Advanced Manufacturing and Robotics is a grant from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) that funds small businesses with innovative research and technology ideas in advanced manufacturing and robotics.
On July 22, 2026, the Department of Energy opened its FY26 Genesis Mission SBIR/STTR round — roughly 40 Phase I awards across four topic areas (biotech, quantum, materials, and autonomous labs), a $147 million Phase II pool, and a September 10 pitch deadline. This is how small businesses get inside the $5 billion Genesis Mission. Here is what each topic funds, how the money and timeline work, and the concrete strategy to compete.
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 articleThe Department of Energy's Office of Critical Minerals and Energy Innovation is spending to break America's 95% dependence on foreign rare earths. The strategy is unusual: recover critical materials from the waste streams of coal plants, smelters, and refineries that already exist. Here is the full funding architecture — the $75M just awarded, the $500M battery-materials round, the $1B pipeline behind them — and how an industrial operator should position for what comes next.
