The Genesis Mission
Teaming and Concepts
ÌýÌýNote: This page will be updated as new Genesis Mission challenges, funding opportunities, and partnership opportunities emerge.
The Genesis Mission is evolving into a more than $5 billion, whole-of-government initiative to accelerate scientific discovery through using artificial intelligence. Federal agencies have identified spanning health, advanced manufacturing, energy and infrastructure, fundamental science, and national security. Additional challenges and funding opportunities are expected as the initiative continues to develop.
As the Genesis Mission continues to develop, future opportunities may move quickly and require interdisciplinary and cross-sector teams. Early visibility into research interests will allow the Research & Innovation Office (RIO) to identify complementary expertise, develop partnerships, and position teams before formal solicitations are released.
