"The Circular Supply Chains Accelerator" is currently closed and not accepting applications.
The Circular Supply Chains Accelerator is sponsored by U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Advanced Materials and Manufacturing Technologies Office (AMMTO). This funding opportunity aims to accelerate the deployment of technologies to improve product and material circularity in support of secure and sustainable supply chains, with a focus on system-level analyses and collaboration across industries.

Funding Notice: The Circular Supply Chains Accelerator | Department of Energy Funding Notice: The Circular Supply Chains Accelerator Office: Advanced Materials and Manufacturing Technologies Office (AMMTO) NOFO number: DE-FOA-0003512 NOFO Amount: Up to $12. 5 million Circular supply chains support a robust and competitive manufacturing sector while providing economy-wide environmental benefits.
However, realizing these economic and environmental benefits will only be possible through development and commercialization of new technologies and processes that will increase reuse, repair, recycling, remanufacturing, and repurposing of products and materials.
"Developing circular supply chains for rapidly growing material streams and those with high-impact potential, such as critical materials, is the key to successfully transforming our linear economy into a more sustainable one," said AMMTO Director Chris Saldaña. "The Circular Supply Chains Accelerator team will be instrumental to this transformation."
In October 2024, AMMTO published the EERE Circularity for Secure and Sustainable Products and Materials: A Draft Strategic Framework , along with a request for information.
The report highlighted that efforts to accelerate the deployment of circular supply chain innovations cannot be successful without: A comprehensive understanding of the landscape of technical and non-technical factors that may impact the adoption of emerging technologies; and Strong stakeholder networks to accelerate innovations from R&D-scale to commercial practice.
To address these needs, this notice of funding opportunity (NOFO) seeks to establish a multi-year effort that will assemble a team to conduct analysis, connect broad groups of stakeholders within multiple application spaces, and socialize EERE-developed innovations across a variety of industries to advance those innovations.
Throughout their analyses and stakeholder engagement activities, the selected team will work with circularity initiatives sponsored by EERE, DOE, and the broader U.S. government to identify potential shared challenges and opportunities to advance innovation.
For example, programs that advance circularity for batteries ( ReCell ), electrolyzers ( H2CIRC ), Critical Materials ( CMI Hub ), and composites ( IACMI and the Wind Turbine Materials Recycling Prize ) may have common challenges that are ripe for collaboration, and connecting stakeholders across these efforts would accelerate technology development and lower the cost of innovation.
The anticipated project duration is three to five years. Prior to submitting a full application for this opportunity, a concept paper is due on March 31, 2025, at 5 p. m.
EST. Funding for this NOFO is subject to future Congressional appropriations. Identifying technology deployment pathways for advancing circular supply chains in priority market segments through analysis of technical and non-technical market factors that influence how these technologies can scale within market segments and across multiple market segments.
Further, identifying synergistic opportunities to leverage emerging technologies, business models and market tools (e.g., standards, offtake agreements, verification frameworks, data systems, etc.) for circular supply chains across multiple product and material market segments.
Engaging with stakeholders within and across product and material segments to support the technology and market analysis and facilitate coordination on technology advancement and adoption. NOFO Issue Date: Jan. 16, 2025 Submission Deadline for Concept Papers: March 31, 2025 at 5 p.

Past winners and funding trends for this program
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.
