DOE Funding Opportunity for National Labs and Partners: $80M for Emerging Technologies R&D

Feb. 17, 2023 — Washington, DC — Today, the U.S. Department of Energy announced $80 million, provided by the Office of Science, to support fundamental research to drive the innovation cycle in support of the Accelerate Innovations in Emerging Technologies (Accelerate) initiative. The program announcement can be found here . A webinar on this opportunity will be held on February 27th at 2 p.m. EST, registration is here . Total combined planned funding is up to $80 million over two years, with outyear funding contingent on congressional appropriations. The funding anticipated for each award is $2M to $4M per year.

Partnerships with other institutions, including academia, other national laboratories, not-for-profit organizations, or industry, are strongly encouraged, especially partnerships with emerging research institutions, including Minority Serving Institutions (MSIs) and Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs). Accelerate seeks to integrate novel concepts and approaches into fundamental research that could accelerate the innovation process, greatly reducing the time from discovery to product, which can take years to decades. Accelerating the innovation cycle requires identification of key gaps that need to be overcome at the early stages of basic research so these innovations can enter […]
