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.

On 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 articleOn July 22, 2026 the White House committed more than $5 billion to expand the Genesis Mission — the government-wide 'AI for science' effort — announcing 278 first projects and 14 National Science and Technology Challenges spanning health, energy, infrastructure, manufacturing, and national security. More than 15 federal agencies are contributing awards, datasets, and facilities. Here is how the pieces fit, why it reorganizes the science-funding map, and how to position for the awards flowing out of it.
Read articleOn July 22, 2026 the White House announced more than $5 billion and 15-plus federal agencies behind the Genesis Mission — a national effort to point AI at the hardest problems in science. Here is what the mission actually funds, how its five National Science and Technology Challenges map to real solicitations already opening, and how a research team or small business should position for the money flowing out of it.
