Workforce Development for Teachers and Scientists | Department of Energy Workforce Development for Teachers and Scientists DOE and its predecessor organizations have for over sixty-years been committed to training and supporting scientists, mathematicians, and engineers.
DOE’s role in workforce development has primarily focused upon the support of undergraduates, graduate students, and postdoctoral researchers through research and development awards at universities and at the DOE national laboratories. Today, that role also includes supporting educational and training programs to promote science and energy literacy.
DOE funding has enabled tens of thousands of scientists, engineers, and technicians to tackle scientific questions of the day in physics, chemistry, biology, and other areas of basic science and technology, impacting energy, environment, and national security challenges.
The Workforce Development for Teachers and Scientists (WDTS) program goal is to help ensure that DOE has a sustained pipeline for the science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) workforce.
To achieve this goal, WDTS sponsors undergraduate internships , faculty appointments , and graduate thesis research ; administration of the Albert Einstein Distinguished Educator Fellowship for K–12 STEM teachers for federal agencies; and annual, nationwide, middle- and high-school science competitions culminating in the National Science Bowl® finals in Washington, D. C.
These all help to encourage and develop the next generation of scientists, technologists, engineers, and mathematicians.
WDTS leverages the expertise of its six Office of Science research program offices and the unique capabilities at DOE’s 17 national laboratories , which employ more than 30,000 individuals with STEM backgrounds, to encourage students and educators to pursue careers that will contribute to the Office of Science’s discoveries.
The national laboratory system offers access to leading scientists, world-class scientific user facilities and instrumentation, and large-scale, multidisciplinary research programs unavailable in universities or industry. WDTS sponsors programs providing access to these labs where students can gain valuable firsthand research experience and participate in professional development activities.
The DOE laboratories also provide additional opportunities for STEM training and education, annually engaging over 250,000 K-12 students, 22,000 K-12 educators, 4,000 undergraduate interns, 3,000 graduate students, and 1,600 postdoctoral researchers.

Continuations of Solicitation for the Office of Science Financial Assistance Program (DE-FOA-0003600) is sponsored by U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Science. This is an open solicitation from the DOE Office of Science that accepts proposals year-round in various research topic areas spanning the Office of Science program areas.
Continuations of Solicitation for the Office of Science Financial Assistance Program is sponsored by U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Science. This program issues announcements to solicit research proposals from various entities, including colleges and universities, non-profit and for-profit research organizations, DOE's national laboratories, small businesses, and other federal research organizations. Research topics must fall within the programmatic priorities of DOE's Office of Science.
DE-FOA-0003665, the Office of Science Open Call, accepts applications any day until September 30, 2027. But six program offices run their own comparative review panels on their own dates, and a proposal that arrives after a panel's acceptance date waits a year. Here is how to read the hidden calendar.

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.
