Genesis Mission Graduate Fellowship Pilot

Office of Science

Description

American scientists and engineers will power the super intelligence (SI) revolution in science and innovation through the Genesis Mission . DOE SC hereby invites applications from United States (U.S.) Institutions of Higher Education and domestic doctoral-granting institutions to develop and demonstrate the effectiveness of novel four-year doctoral training pilots with dual competency in 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. All graduate fellowships supported by this NOFO must support research activities related to SC-relevant Genesis Mission National Science and Technology Challenges as detailed in the Request for Applications (RFA), DE-FOA-0003612 .

Award amount

$20,000,000 – $20,000,000

Total program funding: $100,000,000

Eligibility

In accordance with 2 C.F.R. § 910.126, Competition, eligibility for award is restricted to U.S. Institutions of Higher Education and domestic doctoral-granting institutions as the lead applicant. This restriction on the lead applicant is necessary because only institutions of higher education and doctoral-granting institutions offer doctoral training programs. Applications may include subawards to institutions of higher education, industry, DOE National Laboratories, and SC user facilities.
