Published: 22 July 2026 (72-hour extension). Responsible body: US Department of Energy. DOE selected 278 projects—87 led by DOE/NNSA laboratories, 168 by universities, 19 by companies and four by non-profits—to negotiate awards for AI-enabled scientific workflows. The portfolio spans nuclear energy, critical minerals, intelligent chip design and fusion; the largest identified project is a three-year US$60 million nuclear-energy investment.

Why it matters: It couples agent frameworks and advanced models with national-laboratory high-performance computing. Impact: Universities, laboratories and vendors gain a route to shared scientific infrastructure, but selection is not a funding commitment: DOE may change or rescind awards during negotiations.
