Deadline Rolling — no fixed date
Award Up to $400M
Announced October 1, 2026

What this means for your lab

This open call supports research projects, and project budgets can include instrumentation. In the physical sciences, equipment lines at this level typically cover items such as a low-temperature STM/AFM, a UHV surface-analysis system with XPS or ARPES, or a cryostat for low-temperature measurements. These let a group study the structure and electronic properties of surfaces and quantum materials.

Who can apply

Universities and other institutions seeking support for research in areas not covered by more specific Office of Science solicitations, across Basic Energy Sciences, Fusion Energy Sciences, Nuclear Physics, High Energy Physics, Biological and Environmental Research, Advanced Scientific Computing Research, and Isotope R&D. The announcement gives no deadline; check the full solicitation at science.osti.gov/Funding-Opportunities for dates.
