DOE'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.
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.
