2026 U.S. Department of Energy Genesis Mission
28 June 2026 | ZEROGeoengineering.com | The Department of Energy (DOE) is a federally funded weather enterprise partner agency in ICAMS (The Interagency Council for Advancing Meteorological Services).
According to the following grant description, DOE Genesis Mission focus is to “accelerate scientific discovery and research and development (R&D) workflows using novel artificial intelligence (AI) models and frameworks.”
Notice of Request for Application (RFA) Number: DE-FOA-0003612 seeks applications for “The Genesis Mission: Transforming Science and Energy with AI” (Artificial Intelligence).
One of the focus areas for DOE Genesis related to Biological and Environmental Research (BER) and Integrated Energy Systems Office (IESO), is “Cloud Microphysics and Atmospheric Turbulence,” involving the development and application of “AI capabilities that integrate theory, field observations, and laboratory research to represent complex non-linear multi-scale interactions governing atmospheric microphysics and turbulence that are important to the formation, phase, and intensity of precipitation.”
“Justification: DOE is the only agency with AI expertise, advanced computing, and integrated modeling capabilities (e.g., the DOE Energy Exascale Earth System Model, or E3SM), and infrastructure for field research necessary to meet the challenge of providing accurate information on surface and ground-water availability on the time scales of weeks to years.”
