Technology Commercialization Fund | Department of Energy Technology Commercialization Fund The Technology Commercialization Fund (TCF) is a U.S. Department of Energy program that helps move innovations developed at DOE National Laboratories, plants, and sites into the marketplace.
Established by Congress in the Energy Policy Act of 2005, TCF invests millions of dollars each year to bridge the gap between research and commercial application. The program supports partnerships between DOE facilities and industry, universities, and other organizations to advance technologies with strong market potential.
By sharing costs with private and public partners, TCF strengthens the lab-to-market pipeline, fosters collaboration, and ensures that federally funded research delivers tangible benefits to the nation’s economy and energy security.
Fiscal Year 2026 TCF Base Core Laboratory Infrastructure for Market Readiness (CLIMR): Commercialization Enabling Topic Lab Call On February 18, 2026, DOE issued a call for proposals from DOE National Laboratories, plants, and sites for the Fiscal Year 2026 TCF Base Core Laboratory Infrastructure for Market Readiness (CLIMR) Lab Call: Commercialization Enabling Topic .
The goal of this lab call is to accelerate National Laboratory, plant, and site commercialization activities by streamlining and enhancing the programs, tools, systems, and approaches that enable commercialization.

Join the Teaming Partner List to let our labs, plants, and sites know you’re available to help: DOE: CMEI eXCHANGE: Teaming Partners Please note, for FY26 and FY27, DOE will release two CLIMR lab calls. This lab call is exclusively for the Commercialization Enabling Topic.
The second lab call will be exclusively for the Technology Specific Topics and will be released later this year to allow for program office realignment to settle and for technical priorities to be defined. Across the two lab calls, DOE will utilize funds from FY26 and FY27. Therefore, the Commercialization Enabling Topic will not be open for applications again until the FY28 CLIMR lab call.
Fiscal Year 2025 TCF Base Core Laboratory Infrastructure for Market Readiness (CLIMR) Lab Call On October 17, 2024, DOE issued a call for proposals from DOE National Laboratories, plants, and sites for the Fiscal Year 2025 TCF Base Core Laboratory Infrastructure for Market Readiness (CLIMR) Lab Call.
The goal of the lab call is to improve America’s energy competitiveness and security by accelerating commercialization of critical energy technologies to market. The final submission deadline was March 27, 2025. On August 29, 2025, DOE announced $35 million for 42 selected projects.

Past winners and funding trends for this program
The Department of Defense FY2026 Defense University Research Instrumentation Program (DURIP) provides funding for U.S. universities to acquire research equipment and instrumentation in areas important to national defense, including AI and machine learning hardware. The program is administered jointly by the Army Research Office (ARO), Office of Naval Research (ONR), and Air Force Office of Scientific Research (AFOSR), with approximately $34 million available and 95 awards anticipated. DURIP funds the acquisition of specialized computing hardware for AI/ML research (GPU clusters, TPUs, neuromorphic processors), robotics and autonomous systems testbeds, sensor arrays and data collection systems for machine learning training, high-performance computing infrastructure for defense-relevant AI research, and laboratory equipment for human-AI interaction studies. The program specifically supports equipment that enhances research-related education in DoD-priority disciplines. While general-purpose computing is not eligible, computing equipment directly supporting DoD-relevant AI research programs qualifies. No cost sharing is required.
Sustainable Transportation Planning Grants is sponsored by California Department of Transportation (Caltrans). This program supports Caltrans' mission to improve lives and communities by funding projects that promote sustainable, safe, and accessible transportation across California. It includes Sustainable Communities Grants, which encourage local/regional planning supporting state goals and greenhouse gas reduction targets, and Strategic Partnerships Grants, which address statewide, interregional, or regional transportation deficiencies on the State Highway System in partnership with Caltrans.
