The Genesis Mission
Teaming and Concepts
ÌýÌýNote: This page will be updated as new Genesis Mission challenges, funding opportunities, and partnership opportunities emerge.
The Genesis Mission is evolving into a more than $5 billion, whole-of-government initiative to accelerate scientific discovery through using artificial intelligence. Federal agencies have identified spanning health, advanced manufacturing, energy and infrastructure, fundamental science, and national security. Additional challenges and funding opportunities are expected as the initiative continues to develop.
As the Genesis Mission continues to develop, future opportunities may move quickly and require interdisciplinary and cross-sector teams. Early visibility into research interests will allow the Research & Innovation Office (RIO) to identify complementary expertise, develop partnerships, and position teams before formal solicitations are released.
New opportunity: Graduate Fellowship Pilot
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is inviting applications for the DOE Genesis Mission Graduate Fellowship Pilot, designed to develop and demonstrate the effectiveness of novel four-year doctoral training pilots with dual competency in superintelligence (SI) and another scientific discipline. Two high-impact research experiences are required as part of the pilot, one at a DOE National Laboratory or SC user facility and one in industry. The purpose of this pilot is to lay the foundation for the first cohort of Genesis Mission Graduate Fellows, representing a new generation of Ph.D.-level scientists and engineers with exceptional training in SI and scientific disciplines along with practical research experiences.
RIO has designated this funding opportunity as a Strategic Proposal, based on its potential for significant institutional impact. RIO’s Research Strategy & Development team (RSD) partners with PIs to provide enhanced support, coordination and/or resources for strategic proposal efforts.
Internal applications are due by Sunday, October 25 at 11:59 p.m. MT.Ìý
