Genesis Mission Graduate Fellowship Pilot Program
Solicitation # DE-FOA-0003673
The Genesis Mission Graduate Fellowship Pilot Program, solicitation DE-FOA-0003673, is a Department of Energy Office of Science initiative designed to cultivate an AI-ready scientific workforce. The program invites U.S. institutions of higher education and domestic doctoral-granting institutions to develop novel four-year doctoral training pilots that provide students with dual competency in Super Intelligence (SI) and a specific scientific discipline. The goal is to produce an initial cohort of approximately 100 Genesis Mission Graduate Fellows whose research aligns with SC-relevant National Science and Technology Challenges. A critical requirement of the pilot is that each fellow must complete two high-impact research experiences of ten weeks or more, one conducted at a DOE National Laboratory or SC user facility and one within the industry. The total available funding for the program is 100 million dollars, with individual awards estimated between 12 million and 25 million dollars. These funds are designated for fellow stipends, tuition, health insurance, and research experience expenses. The anticipated project period is 60 months, with 12-month budget periods. Applications must be submitted via the DOE SC Portfolio Analysis and Management System (PAMS), with a Letter of Intent due by November 9, 2026, and final applications due by January 12, 2027. Selection is based on a formal scientific merit review and program policy factors, including a due diligence review for research, technology, and economic security risks. All proposed work must be basic and fundamental research intended for scholarly publication and must strictly exclude restricted, classified, or export-controlled information.

DUAL ENROLLMENT PARTNERSHIP OPPORTUNITY ANNOUNCEMENT
Solicitation # HE125427R0001
The Department of War Education Activity (DoWEA) is seeking capability statements from eligible Institutions of Higher Education (IHEs) to establish no-cost Memorandums of Understanding (MOUs) or Memorandums of Agreement (MOAs). The objective is to provide dual or concurrent enrollment opportunities for DoWEA students globally, pursuant to 10 U.S.C. 2164c. This is a sources-sought announcement, not a procurement action or solicitation for proposals, and no contract award is contemplated. Any resulting agreements will be non-procurement in nature and will not obligate the government to expend funds, pay tuition, or guarantee student enrollments. Tuition and fees are expected to be paid directly by parents or guardians, though government-authorized reimbursement may be available up to a statutory cap of 1,500 dollars per student per school year. Eligible IHEs will be evaluated based on four primary capability factors: their ability to serve a global student population with transferable credits, teacher certification and professional development processes, course delivery and payment structures, and technical requirements. Technical standards include the use of AES-256 encryption for data at rest and a mandate that 100 percent of staff accessing personally identifiable information or controlled unclassified information be U.S. citizens. To be considered for further discussions, respondents must receive a Meets Criteria rating across all applicable factors. Interested institutions must submit a complete response, including institutional certifications and a narrative not exceeding 15 pages, to the designated points of contact by October 26, 2026.
