BES Applications from Universiti...
| U.S. DOE Office of Science (SC) Applications from Universities and Other Research Institutions New Grant Applications from Universities and Other Research Institutions Preapplication: Based on your interaction with a BES program manager, you may be encouraged to submit a preapplication, which will be reviewed by BES to establish whether the proposed research fits within the purview of one of the BES Core Research Activities.
The preapplication should be concise (2–3 pages), provide a summary of the proposed research, and contain the curriculum vitae of the principal investigator (2 pages, appended to the preapplication). Please also include a rough estimate of the proposed work’s total cost.
Based on our review of the proposed research within the preapplication, the principal investigator will be either encouraged or discouraged to submit a full application. Preapplications should be submitted in PAMS to the annual open solicitation, and directed to the attention of the appropriate BES staff member. We will respond to the preapplication by phone or by e-mail.
Timing of full-application submission and award: There are no submission deadlines under the Continuation of Solicitation for the Office of Science Financial Assistance Program , for all Office of Science programs, and applications may be submitted at any time.
However, we recommend that a full application be sent to us between June 1 st and November 30 th in order that we can make a funding decision by June of the following year, which is necessary to obtain funding under that particular fiscal year.

Economics of AI Fellowship is sponsored by Stripe. The fellowship supports foundational academic research in the economics of AI, an area currently understudied despite rapid technical progress in artificial intelligence. Fellows receive a baseline grant, opportunities to attend conferences with leading economists and technologists, and potential access to unique data via Stripe and its customers.
The UKRI Policy Fellowships 2025, funded by the Economic and Social Research Council, offer 18-month placements for academics to co-design research with UK government and What Works Network host organizations. Awards range from £180,000 to £280,000 and support three fellowship tracks: core policy fellows, Natural Hazards and Resilience policy fellows, and What Works Innovation fellows. Applicants must hold a PhD or equivalent research experience, be based at a UKRI-eligible UK organization, and possess relevant subject matter or methodological expertise. Government-hosted positions target early to mid-career academics, while What Works fellowships welcome all career stages. Fellows work directly with policymakers to bridge academic research and policy development on pressing national and global challenges. The application deadline is July 15, 2025.
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.
