EPA’s Office of Brownfields and Land Revitalization is announcing the availability of $20 million dollars to award approximately 20 cooperative agreements for the Multipurpose Grant Program. Multipurpose Grants provide funding to carry out a range of eligible assessment and cleanup activities, including planning and additional community engagement activities. Applicants may request up to $1,000,000 to address hazardous substances and/or petroleum contamination at one or more brownfield sites. Activities carried out at each approved, eligible site may exceed $200,000.

This funding opportunity is for EXISTING APEX Accelerators to maintain an APEX Accelerator to serve as a resource for large and small businesses, including newly started businesses, to obtain procurement technical assistance. Please save the FY26 performance and financial reporting templates for future use during the period of performance, because this announcement will be archived 30 days after the closing date.

The Established Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (EPSCoR) supports the mission of the National Science Foundation (NSF) by promoting nationwide scientific progress. Through this program, NSF fosters partnerships among academic institutions, government entities, industry, and non-profits. These collaborations aim to drive long-term improvements in research infrastructure, enhance R&D capacity, and boost the research competitiveness of eligible EPSCoR jurisdictions.

The U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) seeks to increase the scale and pace of advancing discoveries resulting from academic research into tangible solutions that benefit the public. The overarching goal for the Accelerating Research Translation (ART) program is to advance the U.S. scientific and economic leadership by building capacity and increasing the number of robust translational research ecosystems in Institutions of Higher Education (IHEs) that span across the full geography of our nation. Innovations can occur anywhere and can be opportunities for creating sustained impacts in every single region of the United States. Apply by January 26th (Tracks 2 and 5) and by March 12th (Tracks 1, 3, and 4).

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management (FECM)—in collaboration with its Partnership Intermediary, ENERGYWERX — has released Technology for Recovery and Advanced Critical-material Extraction – Gallium (TRACE – Ga). TRACE – Ga is a funding opportunity focused on establishing a secure and independent domestic supply chain for gallium, a critical material for the energy, defense, and semiconductor sectors. TRACE – Ga seeks innovative and economically viable technologies for gallium recovery from U.S. metal processing feedstocks.

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) intends to issue a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) on behalf of the FECM. The goal of this work is to de-risk the adoption of new mining technologies for commercialization and widespread industry adoption. This will be achieved through:Development of Mine Technology Proving Grounds, Accelerated R&D Projects, and  Collaborative Partnerships.

The NOFO is anticipated to be issued in the fourth quarter of calendar year 2025.

The Office of Technology Commercialization (OTC) is issuing this lab call to solicit proposals for the Energy I-Corps (EIC) program. The goal of EIC is to train researchers at DOE National Laboratories, and DOE plants, and sites to identify market pathways for their technology. This call solicits proposals from DOE National Laboratory, plant, and site technology transfer offices to participate in EIC, for researchers to develop skills in commercialization, and to investigate the market potential for DOE-funded technologies at a critical juncture on the path toward commercialization.

Aspiring entrepreneurs aim to tackle the world’s greatest energy challenges. Selected innovators’ core technologies align with NREL’s research mission of leading research, innovation, and strategic partnerships to deliver integrated solutions for an affordable and secure energy future.

West Gate embeds innovators at NREL and pairs them with scientists who specialize in the innovators’ technology areas. Throughout the program’s 2-year runway, innovators work with scientists in NREL’s world-class laboratories to de-risk their technologies, ready them for market, and grow their startup companies.

The New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) announced $3.7 million is now available to support hydrogen fuel cell-based design for power generation and industrial process in two phases. The funding will advance innovative hydrogen fuel cell-based solutions for dispatchable zero-emission peaking power plants or to support industrial manufacturing processes in New York State.

The Maine Governor’s Energy Office is seeking applications to test innovative BlueTech and monitoring approaches, leveraging the unique opportunity of a deployed floating offshore wind turbine in state waters. Innovations will inform responsible floating offshore wind and coexistence with existing ocean users, support U.S. BlueTech supply chain and workforce development, and reduce costs for a domestic energy source.

The DOE SC program in Advanced Scientific Computing Research (ASCR) hereby announces its interest in receiving proposals from eligible DOE National Laboratories to establish an integrated team to lead the development and deployment of The American Science Cloud (AmSC)…These AI Model teams are expected to span at least the areas described in Section 50404 of the OBBB Act: discovery science and engineering accelerating innovation in next-generation microelectronics and new energy technologies.

The Climatetech Testing and Demonstration Assets (TDA) Program provides capital grants between $1.5M and $5M to Entrepreneur Support Organizations (ESOs) in Massachusetts to develop shared infrastructure, equipment, and other capital assets that advance climatetech R&D, innovation, manufacturing, commercialization, and deployment in the state.

The program focuses on bridging gaps in the state’s climatetech ecosystem—from testing and demonstration capacity to market access—to improve the rate of commercialization, ensure long-term economic growth, and strengthen Massachusetts’ position as a leader in climatetech innovation. TDA is MassCEC’s first program launched under the Mass Leads Act (2024) and supports the goals outlined in the Massachusetts Climatetech Economic Development Strategy and Implementation Plan (2025).
