Advanced Materials & Manufacturing Technologies Office Office: Advanced Materials and Manufacturing Technologies Office Available Funding: $33 million FOA Number: DOE-FOA-0003329 The Advanced Materials and Manufacturing Technologies Office (AMMTO) plans to issue a $33 million Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) focused on smart manufacturing technologies that can contribute to a resilient, responsive, leading-edge, and efficient manufacturing sector that delivers the technologies needed for the nation’s clean energy transition.
Smart Manufacturing is the use of advanced technologies and processes — including digitization and artificial intelligence—to improve the technical performance, efficiency, productivity, and competitiveness of the manufacturing sector.
Through this funding opportunity, AMMTO will seek high-impact applied research, development and demonstration (RD&D) projects that will accelerate the adoption of smart manufacturing technologies and processes, helping domestic manufacturers create new, integrated systems and support their competitiveness around the world.
Topic 1: Smart Manufacturing for a Circular Economy Smart manufacturing technologies have the potential to increase the effectiveness of Re-X (recycling, repairing, remanufacturing, etc.) supply chains, creating a more circular economy. This topic is anticipated to focus on smart manufacturing solutions applied to three main circular economy opportunities.
First, smart identification, sorting, and grading of materials can help to streamline the identification of feedstock streams that are of consistent and acceptable quality for recycling. Second, smart manufacturing techniques can be used to inform various aspects of repair and remanufacturing, ranging from initial design to component monitoring to disassembly guidance.
Finally, smart techniques can be used to improve availability and transparency of data across supply chains to enhance market visibility of secondary materials and support accurate life cycle assessments (LCAs).
Topic 2: Smart Manufacturing for Tooling and Equipment This topic is anticipated to focus on developing and demonstrating broadly applicable smart manufacturing technologies that can advance manufacturing processes and strengthen supply chains for production of sustainable transportation. Successful projects would make tooling and equipment faster and more economical to produce, reducing defects and enabling new functionalities.
Many project innovations will also apply to other clean energy applications. Topic 3: Smart Manufacturing for High Performance Materials Smart manufacturing approaches can accelerate materials advances and corresponding process innovation, ensuring stable, domestic high-performance material supply chains.
This topic area is expected to focus on manufacturing processes and fabrication techniques for platform materials for the clean energy transition, such as high-conductivity materials and materials for harsh service conditions. Approaches could include machine learning, physics-informed models, analytical models, or combinations thereof.
Methods for tuning manufacturing process parameters to achieve optimal component designs tailored according to application requirements will be encouraged. Topic 4: Smart Technologies for Sustainable and Competitive US Mining The topic aims to increase the sustainability and competitiveness of domestic mining operations for critical minerals and materials through smart technologies.
The smart technologies would be used for early detection of environmental hazards, such as toxic emissions, degraded water quality, and degraded air quality. In addition, they would be used to help ensure safety, reliability, efficiency, sustainability, and profitability of mining operations.
The data collected and analyzed also has the potential to create more open data sharing, such as to identify by-products of mining operations that could be used for another productive purpose rather than discarding them as waste. EERE plans to issue the FOA on or around June 2024, with more details to follow.

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 articleTitle III of the Defense Production Act lets the Pentagon hand non-dilutive capital to companies that expand domestic production of defense-critical materials and manufacturing — through a white-paper-first pathway run by the Air Force Research Laboratory (FA8650-19-S-5010) rather than a conventional grant competition. But the core DPA authorities sunset September 30, 2026 absent reauthorization, and the standing white-paper window has moved in and out of suspension. Here is how the Title III mechanism actually works, why it rewards companies that lead with a supply-chain vulnerability, and how to position before the authority cliff.
Read articleThe Labor Department's RESTART grants closed April 15, but the $81 million program is a map, not just a deadline. Up to 20 awards, $5.1M ceilings, and a priority list — AI infrastructure, nuclear, advanced manufacturing, domestic minerals — that signals the shape of the next workforce funding cycle. Here is how to read it and position for what comes next.
